History
The New Mexico legislature approved the construction and staffing of a normal school in eastern New Mexico in 1927, and approved appropriation for construction in 1929, but the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression hindered the school's opening, which was delayed until 1934 (construction had begun in 1931). From 1934 to 1940, the institution, first named Eastern New Mexico Junior College (ENMJC) operated as a community college. In 1940, the third and fourth years of college were first offered, leading to a bachelor's degree, and the institution was renamed Eastern New Mexico College (ENMC). ENMC was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as a four-year liberal arts college in 1946–47. Graduate work leading to the master's degree in some departments was added in 1949, and on April 5, 1949, the board of regents approved the change of the institution's name to Eastern New Mexico University. ==ENMU System==

Museums
Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History Museum The Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History Museum is affiliated with the ENMU Department of Biology. The purpose of the museum is to educate the public about the diversity of life while emphasizing the natural heritage of eastern New Mexico and the greater Southwest, particularly the Llano Estacado. the museum features a live animal exhibit with both native and non-native species. The bulk of the objects contained within the museum were once part of the private collection of amateur geologists and mineral enthusiasts, Fred and Gladys Miles. They were prolific collectors for 40 years, scouring the Pecos River valley for specimens. They particularly enjoyed finding native American artifacts and a specific type of quartz crystal formation referred to as Pecos Diamonds. For several decades they displayed the majority of their enormous collection at a Texaco service station in Roswell operated by Mr. Miles, who enjoyed showing it to inquisitive customers. Miles Anthropology Museum The Miles Anthropology Museum is home to various anthropological and archeological specimens collected by amateur anthropologists Fred and Gladys Miles, as well as to other collections from digs in the region. The private collection of Mr. and Mrs. Miles was also used as the foundation of the Miles Mineral Museum. Both museums are located in Roosevelt Hall. ==Student life==
