Arlington College was founded as a private school in 1895. It passed through seven reorganizations and name changes, becoming The University of Texas at Arlington in 1966. As Carlisle Military Academy it began a tradition of military discipline for its male students. The Texas legislature gave it public support in 1917, placing it under the administration of Texas A&M, which viewed it as a source of students to transfer to its College Station campus, providing steady but meager funding. It had a standard curriculum in chemistry for junior college and after 1949 for baccalaureate students. After a public campaign by students, faculty and business leaders throughout the region, the legislature transferred the college in 1965 to the University of Texas System, which began an orderly development of graduate programs, research accomplishments and public service. UTA is now noted for the diversity of its students.
