T E X A S James V. Allred GOVERNOR OF TEXAS It is Fitting that the Cactus of 1936 should be dedicated to those pioneers whose noble deeds, among other glorious accomplishments, made possible The University of Texas. Your tribute in its striking pageantry of words and pictures becomes vitally significant only through your individual application of those principles of democracy and independ- ence so forcefully demonstrated by the heroes whom you honor. Your generation of University of Texas men and women has before it a challenge of ser- vice to your state presented in the light of the Centennial that will be the opportunity of no generation following you. As you view the achievements of one hundred years the vision of an even greater century lies before you. On the campus of your university whose site was dedicated by the founders of the Republic, resolve yourselves to accept the challenge in order that Texas may move for- ward to even greater heights in its second century of progress. Sincerely, governor of Texas A man oF stimulating personality, Texas ' Governor, Jimmie Allred, designated the outstanding young man in the United State s for 1935, exemplifies in his every act the friendliness so characteristic of the Southwest. With keen enthusiasm he personally invites the whole world to help Texas celebrate her one-hundredth birthday.

John N. Garner, Vice President of the United States I am pleased to have an opportunity to participate in the contribution the students of The Uni- versity of Texas are making to the Texas Centennial, through publication of the 1936 Cactus. It impresses me as being entirely appropriate that The University of Texas, a typically Texas institutionandone truly representative of her youth, should pay tribute to those freemen, who, a century ago, made possible the establishment of a great commonwealth, predicated on principles of democracy and freedom. The constant progress of Texas institutions arises as a lasting monument to sacrificial service rendered the State and is manifest of the faith with which Texans, during the past hundred years, have perpetuated the ideals of her first citizens. With the youth of Texas, the citizens of today and tomorrow, rests the responsibility of carrying on. It is presented in the nature of a challenge to their diligence and intelli- gence for patriotic service to the State and Nation. Most sincerely yours. Vice President of the United States

PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS The Age of Exploration, when in tiny boats with scanty equipment, Enghshmen and Span- iards spread over the World, is a marvelous chapter in the history of Mankind. In Texas more than elsewhere the Spanish priest and conquistador were impinged upon by the English pioneer and the result so far is the Texas of to-day. And the heroic is as large a part of the history of Texas as it is of the earlier portions of the Age of Exploration. It is a primary duty of the University to be the greatest institution in the world for the study of Texas history. Next to its allegiance to truth, the University owes allegiance to Texas, past, present and future. Fortunately, there need be no conflict between these two allegiances. Be it remembered that Texas made neglect of public schools a reason for revolution and thereby introduced a new element into human history. Be it further remembered that The University of Texas was the first portion of the public school system of Texas to receive the attention of the Congress of the Republic of Texas. Be it always remembered that Edu- cation, guided by virtue, is the only security. Sincerely, H. y. Benedict President, The University of Texas Chuckling, genial H. Y. Benedict has gone through every step of campus liFe at The University oF Texas from freshman to president. He has gained national recognition as an educator and as an astronomer, but through all this acclaim his humanity and charm have won him friends and admirers.
