Biographical Sketch
Sponsored by the Animal Science Department of the College of
Agricultural Sciences, the Block and Bridle Club was an organization made up of
undergraduate and graduate students who supported the livestock industry and
the Animal Science Dept. Activities included an annual ham and turkey sale, the
Annual Little International All University Livestock Show and Judging Contest,
a banquet, and presentations of scholarships to members. The national chapter
of Block and Bridle Club was formed in 1919 in Chicago, Illinois.
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of various files, reports, newspaper
clippings, scrapbook materials, and photographs pertaining to the everyday
activities of the Block and Bridle Club at Texas Tech University. The annual reports in the leather binder have remarkable leather tooled
covers, each one different from the next. Most of these leather pieces have beautifully carved Double T symbols.
