Over the last fifty years TCU’s growth in academic prestige, size, and financial strength has been remarkable indeed—transforming a good regional university into one that is listed among the top one hundred universities in the United States.

Narrated by hundreds of individuals who have played important roles in TCU’s flourishing third half-century, A Remarkable Story to Tell is also a vibrant pictorial history, with hundreds of beautiful photos, both vintage and recent, illustrating the achievements of the faculty, the students, and the university as a whole from 1973 to 2023. The landmark progress over these decades began with the programs of Bill Tucker (TCU chancellor 1979-1998), whose initiatives have been sustained and exceeded through the visionary leadership of chancellors Mick Ferrari (1998-2003) and present chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr., who took up the reins in 2003.

A Remarkable Story to Tell is the fifth and final volume celebrating Texas Christian University’s 150th anniversary, following the publications of Images and Stories of TCU’s first 100 Years, 1873-1973; A History to Remember: TCU in Purple, White, and Black; Walking TCU; and A Hope of Wisdom: Three Essays on Education.
