T. G. HARRIS, organized the facu- ty of the Normal and led the school through those important first years. Principal Harris served as head of the college from 1903 to l9ll. Dz. ' Eugene Solano DR. CECIL EUGENE EVANS, our second president, served the school for thirty-one years, from 1911 to 1942. It was under Dr. Evans that the school's name was changed from the Nor- mal to Southwest Texas State Teachers College. The Hill en- joyed tremendous expansion, both in enrollment and in physi- cal facilities during his tour of duty. Dz. lah Qmland 'Wowae Under DR. IOHN GARLAND FLOWERS, the College has continued its expansion until now it has one of the most beau- tiful campuses in the state and many fine classroom build- ings and dormitories. Dr. Flowers began buying land during World War ll in preparation for a Greater College Building Program. Through his presidency of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and his active participa- tion in numerous state and national educational organizations, he has brought the College national prominence. This has led to the affiliation of campus organizations with national educa- tional associations.

AEKNDWLEEEMENT5 One of the College's most valued friends is a former member of the Board of Regents, Mrs. Sallie Beretta. Within the past year she has done much to help the school. An outstanding example of her generosity is the beautiful 125-acre campsite -near Wimberley on the Blanco River. This rolling land, which is framed with mountains and the river, fits well into the school's pro- jected educational and recreational program. Our campus became the site of an outstanding work of art this year when Mr. and Mrs. Archer Huntington donated the world-famed aluminum statute. entitled Fight of the Stallions. This work, seventeen feet in height, depicts two huge stallions in combat. It has been called One of the most wonderful things that has ever come to Texas. Appreciation also is expressed to the thousands of students, ex-students. and friends of the College who have been so generous in contributing the means to help build a truly great institution of higher learning in San Marcos. To Llew Wayne Kellerman, a true friend and loyal staff worker, we dedicate in memory this 1952 Pedagog. Hisndeath last May shocked the cam- pus and he has been greatly missed by the staff as well as the student body this year.
