Southwestern Historical Quarterly
One of our ex-graduate students in history now holds a com-
mission, but not in the regular armed forces. Miss Virginia
Nierman has recently been commissioned as lieutenant in the
Women's Motor Corps, at San Benito, Texas, where she is
teaching this year.
Mary Jane Garrett, who graded in the Department of His-
tory during the last long session and worked toward the
Master's Degree, is now teaching in the Kerrville school sys-
tem. She was on the campus during the last session as sponsor
of a girl's debate squad.
H. G. Van Sickle, graduate student in Latin-American studies,
left the University late in February to take a teaching position
in Tulane University, where he will have classes in Latin-
American history. The position is temporary and Mr. Van
Sickle plans to be back at his studies next fall.
At the present rate of exodus, graduate historians will be
scarce next year. Most of those who have not already gone are
making no plans to be here for the coming year; apparently
the war is taking a particularly heavy toll among the graduates.
Two works of interest to Texas historians are in preparation
by Ph. D. candidates at The University of Texas, but there is
grave danger that the work in both cases will be interrupted
by the war. Raymond Estep is working against time to com-
plete his dissertation on Lorenzo de Zavala before he is in-
ducted into the army in the spring. Because of the exhaustive
nature of the study of de Zavala's political career, both in
Mexico and Texas, Mr. Estep's completed work should be of a
great deal of value. Jos6 Antonio Navarro is the subject of the
other study of interest to Texas historians; J. D. Matlock has
uncovered new material of interest concerning this Texas pa-
triot, but apparently he will be unable to complete his work
before going into the armed service.368
