In about 1932, recognizing that the junior college had grown beyond serving a small portion of the city of Beaumont, and was now serving the region, the college renamed itself Lamar College, after Mirabeau B. Lamar. The next year, the separation of the college from South Park High School began with construction of new facilities. By 1942, the college was completely independent of the South Park school district, and operations moved to the current campus.
With the end of World War II, an influx of war veterans boosted enrollment, and the Lamar board of trustees decided to ask the Texas Legislature to promote Lamar College to a four-year state college. The initial attempt in 1947, lead by Texas Representative Jack Brooks failed, but the following year the necessary bill passed both houses.
