Cover Story: The 21st century TCU
The university charted its first official master plan in 1991, imagining what the campus of the 21st century would be like. Challenges then are similar to today: finding a front door for TCU, deciding where to put parking and enhancing the physical beauty of the campus. Seventeen years and three chancellors later, that vision — and a lot more — is taking shape.

War stories
