1 I J- z p.6ITy St ' I (b) To secure the best thought and counsel of competent persons engaged in educational work throughout the United States and Europe. (c) To investigate and to advise the people of Texas what the scope of the higher educational institutions should be, and what method and adequate means of maintenance should be provided. This will be accomplished by the application of modern business and scientific methods of investigation and determination. (d) To elaborate and present a program, thoroughgoing and modern in its details, responsive to the various activities of a great commonwealth. The by-laws likewise provide for the Standing Committee, and in addition for an Advisory Committee, anrf a Corresponding Committee. The membership of these committees is as follows: Standing Committee: Clarence Ousley, S. E. Mezes, E. B. Parker, W. H. Surges, T. W. Gregory, John W. Hopkins, F. C. Proctor, Geo. A. Robertson, M. Sansom, and R. L. Batts; Advisory Committee: S. P. Brooks, Will C. Hogg, Franklin Kell, C. Lom.bardi, E. O. Lovett, Charles Schreiner, Ed. C. Lasater, and F. M. Bralley; Corresponding Committee: Seth Shepherd, Tom Randolph, H. P. Steger, and H. P. Hilliard. Lately, Mr. Arthur Lefevre has been elected Secretary for research, and Mr. F. M. Bralley, Executive Secretary. The individual chosen to raise the funds and to whom the preponderance of gratitude is due is Mr. Will C. Hogg. During sev- eral months Mr. Hogg virtually gave up his private affairs and devoted his whole time and ability to pledging the necessary finan- cial support. The success of his efforts has been most gratifying. Four hundred and fifty supporters of the University have agreed to subscribe $30,050 a year for five years. An advertising fund of such an amount administered by men with qualities such as are possessed by the managers of the Hogg fund, will make the University of Texas a factor of profound significance among American educational institutions, no less than the predominant factor in the uplift of every community in Texas. Already Mr. Hogg has won for himself a place high in the ranks of the great benefactors of the people of Texas. , y ili ' ' j ' s y : -■ I ' ' « T:£- ' j!£SSiSfe!§ «f i«?f«»CSl ' S»« ' ' fA«W;«H 5tV J-»l» -«S-«a ' S -.«» -»- ' ' »-V v,,iJ»i£ »ii tlf»«,.-«-« . 1
