Biographical Sketch

The Political Science department at Texas Tech University offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees, including one in public administration. The department also houses the Center for Public Service, which offers hands-on research opportunities for political science graduate students.

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of miscellaneous books, framed certificates, memorabilia, plaques, and framed photographs. Four photographs have been removed from their old frames and placed into acid-free sleeves. These images are group portraits concerning athletic activities.

The materials within this collection were donated by the family of Dr. James William Davis, a professor emeritus of political science at Texas Tech until his passing. Davis specialized in state government and constitutionals law, and served on two Texas constitutional revision committees.
