The Shorthorn, which replaced The Grubbonian, began as a monthly magazine in April of 1919. The student body selected the name Shorthorn during a campus-wide contest during which students submitted possible names. During 1922, The Shorthorn changed from a monthly to a weekly publication.

The UTA 1972-1973 Self-Study was formally initiated in Spring, 1972, for presentation to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in the process of its ten-year reaffirmation accreditation as a senior institution. Jack R. Woolf was the self-study director. Members of the University Committee on Committees served as the Steering Committee, which, in turn, oversaw the work of the eleven Standards Committees: Purpose, Organization and Administration, Educational Program, Financial Resources, Faculty, Library, Student Personnel, Physical Plant, Special Activities, Graduate Program, and Research.

Departmental studies committees were also formed, made up of faculty from each department. The subject matter of the departmental self-study paralleled that of the institutional self-study. Copies of the departmental self-study reports may be found in Series B of the collection; however, these reports were not included in the final published self-study.
