State Students Look Up
Origin of "Eyes of Texas"\
Austin, March 12.--Who wrote "The i
Kyes of Texas?"
Widely loved nnd known as is'this
song, few are acquainted with its
genealogy. It sprang from an habit-
ual expression of William L. Prat her,
president of tho university at one
time, who constantly was exhorting
Btudents to remember that lite "e#es
of Texas" were upon them. In 1IKK!
the University students gave a min-
strel at the Hancock Theater. John
Lang Sinclair, who was helping to
produce the show, was asked to write
a song, and playing upon the pecul-
iarity of the president, wrote the
present song. Only the chorus, how-
ever, has been retained. The verse
went:
"I once did know a president,
Away down south in Texas,
And always, everywhere he went,
He saw the eyes of Texas."

operation of trains. Harkrlder and
Ha Hey promise a layout of a large
.railroad yard typical of the railway
centers of the United States.
Bridge design and construct ion will

the Red Rock bridge on tlie Colorado
river. Hale and Alias have been bus-
ily engaged In tliecompletion of the
model, their designs calling for a
scale of sixty to one. The completed
bridge will lie sixteen and a half feet
long.

the steel framework of a mill building
as an example of the modern methods
used in such construct Ion. Weldod
