Old Main has been an icon in San Marcos since its construction in 1902. Just seeing the structure jars fond memories for many who attend the university. Brett Ellis has more in this Bobcat Update.
Old Main's red roof, high spires and brilliant ornamentation are an iconic image for any incoming freshman or seasoned alum of Texas State. Recent renovations ensure that the building's legacy endures far into the future.

Since its construction, Old Main has undergone many changes. For example, a third floor was added about 35 years ago to create a large meeting area and to be the home of the Mass Communication program. Students who are seeking degrees from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication pass through the same doors that former President Lyndon Johnson used when he was a student here.

Even though the building is old and perhaps has seen some better days, the importance of the spirit and tradition of Old Main lives on.

With its new purpose and classic style, Old Main will stand tall as it always has. For Bobcat Update, I'm Brett Ellis.
