T.J. Gibson served as assistant dean of students (1956-1969) and as associate dean of
students (1969-1984) at the University of Texas School of Law. He was promoted from
assistant professor to associate professor in 1970. A 1948 graduate of the law school,
Gibson also worked as assistant law librarian (1948-1952 and 1954-1956) and as Texas State
Librarian (1952-1954). As dean, Gibson's office was primarily involved with law school
admissions, student discipline, student organizations, and the Sunflower Ceremony (the law
school's commencement ceremony). Gibson also worked with many other aspects of the law
school's administration, such as curriculum development and representing the law school on
University and professional committees. He was instrumental in founding the Prelaw Society
of Texas.

The files in this collection were created and maintained by T. J. Gibson during the later
part of his tenure as assistant dean and associate dean for students at the University of
Texas School of Law, and include numerous records dealing with admissions, catalog
revisions, curriculum, faculty meetings, fundraising, grading standards, handbooks,
statistics, student discipline, and general administrative matters. Demolition of Pearce
Hall (the Law School's building from 1908 to 1953) is captured in the photograph file, among
pictures of T. J. Gibson, Professor William Fritz, and other law school faculty, staff,
students, and events.
The collection reflects Gibson's service to the law school, the University of Texas, and
the wider community through his work with a variety of committees and organizations. Other
significant files document events of great importance to the law school's culture such as
the Law Week, the Sunflower Ceremony, and a variety of extracurricular student activities.
Calendars provide a glimpse into Gibson's daily tasks as dean of students.
