WHEN UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT WAS SMALLER, TRADITIONAL CER- EMONIES EMPHASIZED THE LEGACY LEFT BY ONE CLASS TO ANOTHER. IN TEE SPRING, THE SENIOR WOMEN TRANSFERRED RESPONSIBILITY TO THE JUNIOR CLASS MEMBERS DUR- ING SWING-OUT. CHAINS OF BLUE- BONNETS AND SPANISH MOSS WERE CARRIED, WHILE THE SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT RELINQUISHED THE TORCH OF KNOWLEDGE TO HER JUNIOR SUCCESSOR. MEETINGS ... A MARCH TO THE CAPITOL . . . A BANNER READING WE ARE OPPOSED TO ONE- MAN RULE. THE STUDENTS OF 1917 HAD THEIR OWN REASONS FOR PROTEST. THE OBJECT OF THEIR WRATH WAS GOV. JIM FERGUSON, WHO HAD INCITED UNIVERSITY RESENTMENT BY DE- MANDING THE REMOVAL OF SEVERAL FACULTY MEMBERS. HIS WAR ON THE UNIVERSITY, WHICH CULMINATED IN HIS VETO OF LEGISLATIVE AP- PROPRIATIONS, WAS BASED ON PERSONAL HOS- TILITIES: I AM THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS; I DON ' T HAVE TO GIVE REASONS. AS FERGUSON READ A MESSAGE TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS CHARGING THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT AND FACULTY MEMBERS WITH MISDEEDS, IRATE STUDENTS MARCHED BY HIS WINDOW AT THE CAPITOL, WITH THE BAND PLAYING THE EYES OF TEXAS. RESENTFUL OF THE PARADE AND OF INJUNC- TIONS WHICH PREVENTED HIS REMOVAL OF UNYIELDING BOARD MEMBERS, HE VETOED THE UT APPROPRIATIONS ON JUNE 2, LABELING THEM EXCESSIVE. MEAN WHILE, THE EX-STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION HAD BEEN ACTIVE IN BUILDING OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNOR. A SHORT WHILE LATER FERGUSON WAS IMPEACHED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND THE SENATE FOUND HIM GUILTY ON 10 OF THE 21 CHARGES. HE WAS PERMANENTLY REMOVED FROM OFFICE. THE GOVERNOR WAS NOT IMPEACHED BECAUSE HE VETOED THE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, BUT IF HE HAD SIGNED THE BILL, THE PUBLIC ' S INTER- EST PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AROUS- ED TO THE POINT OF BRINGING OTHER CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
