presented it as a gift to the State.
It was placed on the grounds Jan.

I Appications to the Board of

scarce.
The Roosevelt Memorial is
only application the Board has re-
ceived in recent years, "chairman
Weaver Baker says. Considerations,
by the Board on such an application
he says, are worthiness of the cause,
style of the proposed monument and
available space on the grounds.
There are no guiding rules
laws. The state simply relies on
the Board of Control to act wisely
on each application on its own par-
ticular merits.
While Roosevelt had many poli-
cies everyone did not agree with, he
was unquestionably a great man—
probably one of the greatest in the
history of our country,” Baker said.
"The Board felt it was fitting that
Texas should honor this great leader
who was faced with many of the
Nation's most perplexing crises of
all times.”
Texas is the first state in the
nation |to so honor Roosevelt, ac-
cording to Glen S. Wilson of Austin,
Chairman of the Roosevelt Memor-
ial Foundation which was organized
to direct the work. The memorial
will join those of the immortal
Defenders of the Alamo, heroic vol-
unteer firemen of Texas, Terry’s
Texas Rangers, Hood’s Texas-Brig-
ade, the the Confederate dead, and
the Famous Cowboy statue.
Oldest of the group is the Alamo
monument erected in 1891 through a
$15,000 appropriation by the 21st
Legislature. Names of all the de-
fenders of the famous San Antonio
Fortress are engraved on the four
