University of Texas - tour

  The University of Texas at Austin opened on September 15, 1883, and is now the largest University in the state of Texas.
  Address by Dr. John W. Mallett, professor of chemical sciences and first dean of the faculty, to an audience of three hundred people gathered in front of the main University building under construction in College Hills: "If Texas wants to establish a first-class University, it will need the combined contributions of the people of the state, its government, the Board of Trustees of the faculty, but most of all, the students of the University.
  The landmark at the University of Texas is a 94-foot tower designed by Philadelphia designer Paul Crete. The tower was completed in 1937.
  Over the years it has been the hallmark of the University, a symbol of its academic excellence and of the opportunities it affords!
  The Tower's observation deck offers incredible and breathtaking views of the University campus and notable areas of Austin.
  The Tower now houses the University's administrative center, the three-story library, and the Miriam Lutcher Stark Library, which preserves the earliest and most popular works of English novels.
  The University's symphony since 1916 is the Bevo, a Texas longhorn (a breed of cow) with a fiery red coloration. The shape of Bevo's head and horns gave rise to the popular student expression "Hook 'em Horns," literally meaning "Hang 'em on the horns." The longhorn is a symbol of University of Texas pride and tradition.
