Texas State is establishing a task force of scholars to research and analyze the lives of the namesakes of Beretta Hall and Flowers Hall in an effort to rename them.
In a Feb. 1 email from University President Denise Trauth, the university says a group of scholars from various departments in the university plan to âconduct scholarly analyses of the historical contexts of the lives and careers of Sallie Ward Beretta and John Garland Flowers,â the individuals who the buildings are named after.
Beretta Hall is named after a Daughter of the Confederacy.
Flowers, the third president of Texas State, or known then as Southwest Texas State College, openly opposed integration when he denied admission to Dana Jean Smith, an 18-year-old Black woman, by citing a whites-only provision in the school charter.Â
