Although no students, faculty, or staff were injured in the fire, the school suffered severe damages, including all of the contents of the library, the entirety of the business college, the painting and drawing department, and the unfinished 1910 Horned Frog yearbook. Classes resumed the next day in improvised locations and the Waco community took many students whose rooms had been consumed by the flames into their homes. In the face of the extreme cost of rebuilding in Waco, and after receiving a lucrative offer from Fort Worth, Texas Christian University left Waco following the conclusion of the 1910 spring term.
