We are committed to making health happen through visionary teaching, research, and public health service programs. This school ranks among the top in the nation and has established a state, national, and international reputation as a leader in education and research. In addition to being an outstanding venue for your public health education and research, The University of Texas School of Public Health has the lowest tuition and fees among the top schools of public health in the country. Health is among the most important conditions of life and is needed to achieve well-being and happiness. From vaccinations to prevent dis- eases that devastated past generations, health departments monitoring disease outbreaks, restaurant inspections preventing food poisoning outbreaks, seat belt and drunk driving laws, water systems to fluoridate drinking water, regulations to control pollution in our environ- ment, safer workplaces, family planning programs, school programs to prevent heart disease by teaching children about healthy diets and promoting physical activity, adolescents learning in school about safer sex practices to minimize exposure to and prevent sexually transmitted diseases and avoid unwanted pregnancies, the use of sunscreen to protect our skin, smoke- free public places, to smoking prevention and smoking cessation programs, public health touches our lives every day. Public health as a profession has made great achievements and major advances are imminent, especially from the development and application of population- based health promotion and disease prevention programs, improving health service delivery systems, and improving environmental and occupational health. The interdisciplinary nature of public health makes it a very appealing profession. Public health has several core areas that work together. Public health professionals collaborate with physi- cians, nurses, dentists, teachers, schools, education agencies, legislators, government agen- cies, and the media to improve the health of people. Our students have the advantage of being a part of an excellent health science center located in the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. We have regional cam- puses in Austin, Brownsville, Dallas, El Paso and San Antonio, where we serve as a resource for the entire state of Texas. We serve a very diverse population in Texas. This diversity is reflect- ed in the make-up of our student body. Our students have abundant opportunities for student employment, student research, and practicum experiences to enrich their education in public health. Our mission is to improve and sustain the health of people by providing the highest quality graduate education, research, and community service for Texas, the nation, and the world.

Early practical applications of these roots were the adoption of formal quaran- tine regulations in the 1300s by the cities of Ragusa and Venice and the child health movements of the late 1800s. Epidemics were an inevitable result of the growth of cities, and urban populations were forced to submit helplessly to the catastrophic epidemics of smallpox, cholera, plague, diphtheria, and other diseases until an ex- plosion of knowledge during the last half of the nineteenth century promised relief.

    CASTRO'S COLONY: EMPRESARIO COLONIZATION IN TEXAS, 1842-1865 by BOBBY WEAVER, B.A., M.A. A DISSERTATION IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Accepted August, 1983 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I cannot thank all those who helped me produce this work, but some individuals must be mentioned. The idea of writing about Henri Castro was first suggested to me by Dr. Seymour V. Connor in a seminar at Texas Tech University. That idea started becoming a reality when James Menke of San Antonio offered the use of his files on Castro's colony. Menke's help and advice during the research phase of the project provided insights that only years of exposure to a subject can give. Without his support I would long ago have abandoned the project. The suggestions of my doctoral committee includ- ing Dr. John Wunder, Dr. Dan Flores, Dr. Robert Hayes, Dr. Otto Nelson, and Dr. Evelyn Montgomery helped me over some of the rough spots. My chairman, Dr. Alwyn Barr, was extremely patient with my halting prose. I learned much from him and I owe him much. I hope this product justifies the support I have received from all these individuals. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ii LIST OF MAPS iv INTRODUCTION 1 Chapter I. THE EMPRESARIOS OF 1842 7 II.

Brawley, 1994 13 Aug. 1805–21 Jan. 1886 A photograph of Dr. Ashbel Smith. Image from the Texas State Library. [2]Ashbel Smith, Salisbury physician and Texas political leader, was born in Hartford, Conn., the son of Phoebe Adams and Moses Smith, Jr. He had a half brother, Curtis, and three siblings, Henry Grattan, Caroline, and George Alfred. Ashbel Smith grew up in New England and was graduated with honors from Yale University in 1824. Afterwards he was induced by Charles Fisher [3] of Salisbury to teach in the Salisbury Academy [4] for a salary of $300 the first year plus his traveling expenses and board. His knowledge of the classics gained for him a wide reputation, and his Fourth of July oration in 1825 was published in Salisbury and Hartford newspapers, which both praised his erudition. During his first eighteen months in Salisbury, Smith formed many lifelong friends, among themB urton Craige [5], John Beard [6], J. J. Bruner [7], James Huie, and Jefferson Jones, but it was Charles Fisher who had the greatest influence on his life. Fisher was not only Smith's closest friend but his political mentor as well. Under Fisher's guidance, Smith began to read law but gave it up in 1826 to return north to study medicine at Yale. He took back with him two Salisbury boys, Archibald Henderson and Warren Huie, whom he tutored for Yale. After obtaining a medical degree in 1828, Smith practiced in Salisbury for three years.

  • Chapter Vi Ashbel Smith-Gideon Lincecum Dr
    CHAPTER VI ASHBEL SMITH-GIDEON LINCECUM DR. ASHBEL SMITH There are a few characters that flash like a meteor across the pages of history. In the star-dust of their trail ever scintillate the accomplishments of their brief span of years in this hurrying world. Such a character was Dr. Ashbel Smith. Small of stature, keen of mind, ever in the forefront of public affairs,' he was a scholar, statesman, diplomat, soldier, farmer and physician. As a scholar, he held the degrees of B. A., M. A. from Yale at the age of nine­ teen years, 1824. He later studied both law and medicine, and was a skilled surgeon. He came to Texas a few months after the Battle of San Jacinto, and was appointed Surgeon General of the Texan Army. A close personal friend of Sam Houston, he oc­ cupied for several years the same room with him in that celebrated log house, the home of the President. His splendid intellect was often of valuable assistance to those earnest men who were creating a new nation. His in­ fluence in the enactment of laws regulating the practice of law and medicine was needed and accepted; this same influence was used in the establishment of our great Uni­ versity and the early medical schools. Dr. Smith was one of the organizers of the University of Texas and served many years as a regent and President of the Board of Regents. He wrote many medical treatises that were published in this country and abroad. His final great mental attainment was the valued assistance he gave as collaborator of the American revised version of the Bible, published shortly before his death, 1885.

    THE ARCHIVES OF TEXAS JANUARY 24, 1839, was approved a joint resolution of the third congress of the Republic of Texas providing for a library Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/3/3/187/2742297/aarc_3_3_h2hm4prx44473773.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 for the use of the republic and appropriating $10,000 for the pur- chase of books which were to be deposited in the office of the secretary of state.1 The first purchase made was an eighteen volume set of the Edinburgh Encyclopedia for $25O.2 This was the beginning of the Texas State Library. The Republic of Texas faced bankruptcy throughout its nine years of existence and there were no further expenditures for the library. However, Ashbel Smith, when he was charge d'affaires to England and France in 1842-1845, arranged with Joseph Hume, the librarian of the British parliament, a system of exchange of documents between the two governments.3 Exchanges were also proposed by some of the states of the United States.4 After annexation further accessions were provided for by an act of the second legislature in 1848, which authorized and required the ex- change of "copies of all Laws, Judicial Reports, Maps, Charts, and other productions of a Literary, Scientific, or political character, printed or published by order of the Legislature, or at the expense of the State," with the Library of Congress, the executive depart- ments of all the states of the Union and with foreign powers.5 It was not until 1856 that another appropriation was made for the purchase of books for the state library.6 After the Civil War and the reorganization of the government under the presidential plan of re- construction, the office of state librarian was created7 and a librarian appointed, only to be removed, with all other officials, by General 1 Gammel, Lazus of Texas, II, 86.

Esmond- R. Long in A History ofAmerican Pathology. 1 IT WAS LATE January, practically springtime in South Texas, and the day was still fresh with the hope that morning brings. Suddenly, Francisco Basquez walked up to Private Francisco Gutierrez of the Alamo Company.2 "I am going to send you to the devil," he vowed, swiftly plung­ ing his hunting knife into Gutierrez. As the long keen blade slid between the soldier's fourth and fifth left ribs, Basquez imparted a quick, downward thrust. Soon after, on that morning of January 27, 1808, Don Jayme Gurza,3 Royal surgeon for the Alamo hospital at San Antonio de Bexar, examined the victim, reporting that he showed evidence of serious injury, had a weak and fast pulse, and was vomiting blood. "After observing all the rules and regulations demanded by medical procedure, Doctor Gurza applied the 'proper remedies,' in­ cluding a plaster." Gutierrez, however, died about twelve hours after admission to the Alamo hospital, and the doctor then performed his 1 2 THE HISTORY OF PATHOLOGYIN TEXAS final diagnosis-the autopsy.

EAST TEXAS HISTORlCAL ASSOCIATION 3 TEXAS AND THE WORLD FAIRS, 1851-1935 by Edward Hake Phillips As Texans approach the Sesquicentennial of the founding of the Lone Star Republic, they are showing more and more interest in the Texas Centennial of 1936 and the two great Fairs held to com­ memorate that event. Equally interesting and instructive, however, is the experience Texans had in participating in World Fairs long before they staged their own extravaganzas. At the turn ofthe century, Finley Peter Dunne's apocryphal Irish bartender, Mr. Dooley, took a realistic view of World Fairs. When asked by his friend, Hennessy, "Why do they get them up?" Dooley replied: "They get thim up fr th' advancement iv thought an' th' gate receipts ... But they're run fr a good time an' a deficit."l Beginning with the London Crystal Palace Exposition in 1851, l Texans, as visitors and exhibitors, have partaken of the good times and deficits of the various World Fairs, deriving an "advancement iv thought" and culture and spreading a significant image ofTexas to the world.

VANDIVER AND THE OFFENSIVE DEFENSE PREFACE The Northern parade passed with steady cadence; occasionally it would stumble into chugholes, but the march continued. Hoisting banners high, the multitudes tramped down the road of the nineteenth century. If at times the path more closely resembled an obstacle course, it was because the terrain was unfamiliar. It was be¬ cause to reach the end of the road, the Northern paraders had to cross hostile ground and urge—no, force—their Southern brothers to join them. But the Southern brothers were reluctant. The paraders insisted on shouting words unpleasing to the spectators' ears—industry, freedom, equality, higher law, Union, one and inseparable. As each shout rang through the air, the onlookers shuddered with disgust. Still they preferred to stand beside that road and watch the relentless parade. In fact, the Southern bystanders would rather parry with words than join that abominable parade; and they would thrust with swords before they joined it. The parade was on its way to Sumter and getting there was difficult because the men who peopled that area south of Mason and Dixon's line had ingeniously i ii erected a maze of defenses. This paper is the study of one defense, State Rights, as employed by one state, Texas, against two formidable threats on two separate occasions.

Payne The old house has had several names - Buena Vista, Bailey Place, Old Sam Houston Home, Squatters's Place, and Ste~mboat House, the colorful name that most Texans no doubt prefer. The story begins with Dr. Rufus Bailey, a brilliant and somewhat eccentric New England clergyman who arrived in Texas in 1854. The next year he accepted a position as language professor at Austin College, a Presbyterian school in Huntsville. I Dr. Bailey was well known as a prolific writer of sermons and newspaper articles, a number of which were col­ lected in book form. 2 People in Huntsville seem to have had mixed feelings about the professor. They admired his scholarly achievements but not his frugal habits. One acquaintance, Pleasant W.
