Chartered in 1911 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, SMU was attracted to Dallas by a package of land and cash that outbid an offer by Fort Worth. The campus was built on one hundred acres donated by the widow of John Armstrong, the developer of Highland Park, with a master plan by the Chicago office of Boston architects Bremer and Pond. From the main entrance on Mockingbird Lane, the wide Bishop Boulevard leads north uphill to the central quadrangle, focusing on Dallas Hall. A new master plan in 1947 by Hare and Hare distributed new quadrangles along the west side of campus. The first class matriculated in 1915, with current enrollment over eleven thousand undergraduate and graduate students.
