• State Executives Governor James V. Allred Claude 0. Teer Tom A. DeBerry Henry C. Meyer • • Unique among such historical documents, the Texas Declaration of Independence sets out neglect of education as a cause for revolt. In the Second Congress of the Republic of Texas, the bill was intro- duced to incorporate The University of Texas, the University thereby being the first unit of our educational system to be mentioned in the law of the land. From these early times until the present, the officials of the State of Texas have given generously of their time, effort, and interest in the development of an institution which the Constitution decrees shall be one of the first class. James V. Allred, present governor of Texas, has been particularly zealous in the interest of the University, which he has often spoken of as a most worthy agency of the State. Charged with the duty of supervising the budget of all branches of the State government, the State Board of Control is in close and helpful contact with the University ' s affairs. The present members of the Board are Claude D. Teer, Tom A. DeBerry, and hienry C. Meyer. The State Board of Education has the responsibility of fixing policies and directing the administration of the entire educational system of the State and makes periodic studies of the work and needs of public- supported higher educational institutions. This agency has also given valuable leadership and help in promoting the usefulness of this, the capstone of the educational system of Texas. Mrs. J. E. Watkins, Gher.t Sdndefford, Ben F.
