- History & Memorable Moments
The University of Houston began as Houston Junior College (HJC). On March 7, 1927, trustees of the Board of Education unanimously passed a historic resolution that authorized the "founding, establishment and operation of a junior college." The junior college was operated and controlled under the guidance of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). [1]
HJC was located in San Jacinto High School and offered only night courses. Its first session began June 5, 1927, with an enrollment of 232 students and 12 faculty. This session was primarily held to educate the future teachers of the junior college, and no freshmen were allowed to enroll. A more accurate date for the official opening of HJC is September 19, 1927, when enrollment was opened up to all persons having completed the necessary educational requirements. The first president of HJC was Dr. Edison Ellsworth Oberholtzer. He was the dominant force in establishing the junior college. [1]
