Preface I N this part of Texas, rich in legend and tradition, the Sul Ross student who has eyes to see and ears to hear has only to look around for glimpses that sug¬ gest other civilizations, and sounds that echo the clamor of past generations. The BRAND of 1928 attempted to portray our Indian background, and to that end pictured the red man’s life before the tread of the conquistador was heard in the land. The Indian’s caves, his pictographs, and his relics were reproduced. The present BRAND lias set itself the task of furthering acquaintance with our friend and neighbor, the border Mexican, and of catching in art the border background—the adobe comercios and restaurantes, the old cemeteries and mission bells, the goat trails and various natural scenes along the Rio Grande, all of which give character to the Big Bend Section and make our environment distinctive in the locale of American colleges.
