J UDGE A.¥Ti ERRELL Among the gnat mm who hdfci to founi and develop The University of Texas, none was more versatile than ]uige A. W. Terrell. He was hy profes ' sion a lawyer, his office being, as he admitted, the State of Texas: He served that State as District fudge, as State Senator, and as Rational Representative. He was a great orator as his speech of 1 882 for TTie University shows. As a legislator he fathered more good laws than any other one man has ever done in the history of Texas legislation. It was not surprising that the author of tlie Free School Laws showU hafe been asked hy Governor Roherts to help pass the hill authorizing the founding of a state university. After the institution was founded. Judge Terrell was primarily responsible for securing for The University the gift from the State in 1883 of the second one million acres of land, without the income from which the recent expansion of The Unii;ersit)r ' s plant would have heen impossible. After serving as Ambassador to Turkey unoer President Cleveland, fudge Terrell was fittingly appointed a Regent of The University he had helped to bring into being. Nfit only in the history of The University of Texas, but in any record of education in this State as a whole, the name of this dominant and benevolent man must stand near the head of the list of those who have loved and fought for enlightenment.

The Engineering Building and the Grand Old Man are sytionomous. The Engineering Department and the Old Man u;ill soon leafe their old haunts for more commodious quarters across the Speedway. Regardless of the use to which the old building will be put, it will remain symhoUc of The University to all disciples of Alec St. Claire who have passed fromThc Unifersity to the outside world. 4 .-
