Campbell Robert Carter Overton, III John W. Storms Darrell K. Royal Foundation Staff Beth Freeman About the Cover One of the most heated rivalries in college football ignites when Texas A&M meets the University of Texas. Each school prepares for the event with its own unique tradition. For Texas A&M, the Texas Aggie Bonfire (1988 photograph) unites fans for the biggest spectator event of the school year. Meanwhile, the University of Texas hosts a Hex Rally (1991 photo courtesy of the U.T. Intercollegiate Athletics Photography Department), to build spirit for the game and to hex the aggies. The Terry Foundation grants four- year scholarships to students at both universities. Like the sporting event, The Terry Foundation brings the two schools together. Unlike the spoiling event, Teny Scholars have the unique opportunity to get acquainted with students from both campuses as friends rather than as rivals.
