Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

McComb, Professor of History Colorado State UniversitY Foresight Built the Rosenberg Library's Archives Casey Greene The Rosenberg Lib rary in Galveston has long been recogn rzed, for its significant historical collection$. In 1923, the Southwestern His- torical Quarterly called them "a veritable treasure, undoubtedly the most important in the State except those at Austin."r Today, they constitute the core of the Galveston and Texas History Center, one of the Library's most prestigious departments. The genesis of this collection predates the opening of the Rosenberg Library's building to the public in 1904. On August 3, lB7 l, some twelve men founded the Galveston Historical Society, adopting the constitution and by-laws of the New York Historical Society. They sought to acquire and preserve papers, maps, and artifacts "that may serve to illustrate the general history of Texas, and of localities and events therein."2 The founders had the foresight to reco gnize the value of documentary materials that would likely have been lost or destroyed in later years. By 1875, they had collected a variety of papers, including those of Lorenzo de Zavala, the first vice president of the Republic of Texas; those of merchant and land agent James Morgan, as well as a narrative of the Mier Expedition by Joseph D. McCutchan.3 The Galveston His- torical Society engaged in periods of activity followed by inactivity. In 1895, it reorganized as the Texas Historical Society, which aimed to acquire and preserve archival materials and artifacts relating to Texas history.
