In 1954, Logan Wilson was named acting chancellor and later that year the Regents abolished the position and the office. Wilson was reappointed when the Regents re- established the position in 1960. From 1961 to 1970 Harry H. Ransom served as Chancellor, also serving as President from 1960 to 1961. During the period of 1963 to 1967 there was no UT President, so Ransom served as CAO of campus as Chancellor. Other former UT Chancellors include: 1971-1978 Charles A. LeMaistre 1978-1984 E. Donald Walker 1984-1992 Hans Mark 1992-2000 William H. Cunningham 2000 R. D. Burck (interim) 2000-2002 R. D. Burck 2002-2008 Mark G. Yudof 2008 Kenneth I.

  • Galveston Military Tourism Itinerary
    GALVESTON MILITARY TOURISM ITINERARY Few destinations have weathered the test of time through war, colonization and natural disaster and lived to tell the tale like Galveston. Steeped in American history, the island offers veterans and history buffs alike a chance to discover remnants of its fascinating past. USS Cavalla and USS Stewart Check out Seawolf Park for a quick brush up on Texas naval history. The park serves as the berthing place of the WWII submarine the USS Cavalla, a memorial to the lost submarine USS Seawolf. The Cavalla was commissioned in February 1944 by the Electric Boat Company and is known for sinking Shokaku, a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier and Pearl Harbor veteran. In 1971, the USS Cavalla was delivered to her permanent berth in Galveston. Alongside the USS Cavalla at Seawolf Park lies the USS Stewart, one of only two surviving destroyer escorts in the country. You’ll have a chance to examine Stewart’s artillery and even peer through grates with views into the engine room. Seawolf Park’s remarkable history will have you yearning to learn more, so plan on spending an hour or two here. S.S. SELMA Steel shortages during World War I led the United States to build experimental concrete ships, the largest of which was the SS Selma. Today, the ship is partially submerged in Galveston Bay. Built in Mobile, Alabama, the ship was launched the same day Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles, officially ending World War I. As a result, the 7,500-ton ship never served during the war but instead was placed into service as an oil tanker in the Gulf of Mexico.

As a result, history represents the values, ideologies, and most importantly for this dissertation, the remembrances of the victorious. Their remembrances never remain ethereal or disembodied; they become the object lessons about the past for those living in the present. And these object lessons, the lessons of history, become the narratives and locations that transmit a nation’s idealized values and origin stories. It is in this confluence of remembrances, object lessons, values and origin stories that this dissertation examines in the Alamo. The Alamo represents a consummate site of memory for the United States. As a cultural narrative it persists from a mid-nineteenth century battlefield through the present day as a cinematic narrative. The Alamo is one of the historical watershed moments of the Westward expansion. However, the tales of the victors (ironically, in this case, the victors at the Alamo are the Euro- Americans who died in the battle) transmit values, lessons and stories steeped in narratives of denial.

It divided nations, redefined international alliances, devastated populations, ethnic groups and economies, and ushered in an era known as the Cold War. From 1941 to 1945, Americans — and particularly Texans — rallied to supply unprecedented levels of manpower and equipment, while sacrificing much to support the wartime effort.

  • The Galveston Seawall Mark Harvey Memorial University of Newfoundland St
    Coastal and Ocean Engineering ENGI.8751 Undergraduate Student Forum Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University, St. John’s, NL, Canada. March, 2013 Paper Code. (Harvey-13) The Galveston Seawall Mark Harvey Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, NL, Canada [email protected] Abstract Galveston, Texas is a coastal city in the Southeast United States, situated on the Gulf of Mexico. In 1900, a major hurricane struck the city, resulting in significant property damage and loss of life, destroying much of the city. Following this disaster, a seawall was constructed to minimize damage caused by future hurricanes. A seawall is a large reinforced concrete structure designed to absorb the impact of waves as they strike the shore. Expansions have increased the length of the seawall from its initial length of 3.3 miles to its current length of approximately 10 miles. The Galveston Seawall has repeatedly proved its worth in the century since it has been built. The city has experienced many severe hurricanes in that time and the presence of the seawall has reduced devastation significantly. The following paper examines the events leading to the construction of the seawall, subsequent hurricanes in which the seawall effectively protected Galveston, and improvements and extensions to the seawall. 1 Introduction – Galveston, Texas 1.1 City of Galveston Galveston is a coastal city in Texas, situated between Galveston Bay to the northwest, and the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast. The city is on Galveston Island, a barrier island which is approximately 28 miles long, ranging from one-half to three miles wide.

    Memorandum To: Galveston Community Recovery Committee From: Betty Massey Date: August 25, 2009 Re: Update The summer has simply flown by. It has been nearly three months since the last update, so let me share with you a few of the things that are happening with regard to our recovery projects… The University of Texas Medical Branch and the Galveston Economic Development Partnership are restoring the Custom House on The Strand as a Bio-Tech Business Incubator using a $10 million EDA grant. The Galveston Chamber of Commerce is developing a Business Incubator in the Commerce Building at the corner of 25th and Church Streets. The Park Board of Trustees is developing elements of the Tourism Master Plan including locating property for a Galveston Visitor Center. Thanks to a $1 million gift from Frito-Lay, the Seawall Committee is working with a design team to develop the Fort Crockett Park area as the “center piece” of Seawall redevelopment. The Historic Downtown Strand Seaport Partnership is close to completing the first phase of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The East End Lagoon Nature Park and Preserve, coordinated by the Galveston Island Nature Tourism Council and the City of Galveston, has hired its design professional. A sports stadium is under consideration by Galveston Independent School District with the likelihood that funding will be considered by voters no later than May 2010. The Port Improvement Project has a new chair, Bill McMullen, and is beginning its work. The City allocated funds in its first round of CDBG disaster funds to complete the Comprehensive Plan and overhaul land use and zoning ordinances addressing many of the issues raised in environmental projects.
