Texas Christian University is a private university in Fort Worth, Texas. It was started as the Addran Male and Female Academy in 1873 by Addison Clark and Randolph Clark. TCU's colors are purple and white and their mascot is the horned toad. It was originally part of the Christian Church which is now the Disciples of Christ and doesn't play and active role in the school.

TCU is locally known as a country club for business majors from wealthy families. They have decent liberal arts programs but are considered sub-par in their science disciplines.
