Admission: Free Location: 1324 West Clay Street, Houston, TX 77019 Tel: (713) 522-4652 Fax: (713) 522-5694 Web Address: www.printingmuseum.org The Museum of Printing History is pleased to present The Book Club of Texas. The Book Club of Texas was founded in 1929 by Stanley Marcus “to typify the best standard of bookmaking, in regard to subject matter, printing, binding, and typographical design.” In addition to highlighting the very best printers, binders, and designers in Texas, the Book Club has published distinguished authors such as John Graves, Larry McMurtry, William Faulkner, and J. Frank Dobie, among others. On view, one will see rare publications such as Dobie’s Tales of the Mustang and Faulkner’s Miss Zilphia Gant, as well as all published titles and various broadsides, keepsakes, and ephemera produced by the Book Club of Texas. Also on view is the most recent publication The Defeat of Grandfather Devil, a previously unpublished play by Josefina Niggli and illustrated with woodcuts by Artemio Rodriguez. After returning to Texas from Harvard in 1926, Stanley Marcus (of Dallas-based Neiman Marcus fame) wished to “foster the arts pertaining to the production of fine books.” Modeled after the Book Club of California, which capitalized on the fine printing of noted printers such as the Grabhorn Brothers and John Henry Nash, Marcus believed he could inspire the same in Texas.

    SUNDAY, January 1, 1967 ) Public announcement of the change in corpora ate name from Graduate Research Center of the Southwest to Southwest Center for Ad· vanced Studies was made in a news release (written December 27,1966). A.-chedule of "orderly transition" had been written earlier by Richard (Rick) n Fh T. Lipscomb of the Development staff, and sent internally by President Gifford K. Johnson. His transmittal memorandum included the wish that everyone avoid use of the pronounceable acronym "SCAS." It "has a harsh sound to the unitiated ear, particularly when used on radio otTV," he said. He preferred use of the verbal name "Southwest Center" or "The Center." As an historian's comment, hardly anyone paid attention to this preference!

Among these were strength of the faculty of about 50, the 190·acre campus with 100,000 ( square feet of buildings, and strong desire on the part of the faculty to teach; on this point, Berkner emphasized that the goal of Center education was still in research, with teaching as auxiliary to development of depth of know· ledge in a candidate's selected field.

Craft, Mayor Earle Cabell, Bob Cullum, and Stanley Marcus. More specifically, I look at their actions and how they impacted the desegregation of Dallas. Additionally, I look at the Dallas community’s reaction to Mayor Cabell’s choice to desegregate this southern city. Looking at the non-violent process of desegregating public education and public spaces has been one of the key pieces of evidence in showing Dallas’s transition into a progressive city. Also, by examining letters sent directly to Mayor Cabell along with anti-segregation pamphlets, which compared desegregation to communist and anti-Christ ideals, this shows that Dallas, Texas was on its way to moving forward far before the rest of the lower south during the late 1950s and early 1960s iv Introduction: The Civil Rights Movement was a defining movement in the United States of America and shaped the country we know today.

  • What Not to Wear to a Texas Barbecue, 1957
    The past is never dead. It's not even past NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... What Not to Wear to a Texas Barbecue, 1957 Like 35 Tweet by Lynn Mally When Coco Chanel received the Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion in 1957, she asked to visit a ranch during her trip to Dallas. Her host, Stanley Marcus, obliged her by throwing a barbecue at his brother’s spread in her honor. It included, among other things, a cow fashion show. And this is what she wore—a trim suit, a fur scarf, a Chanel handbag, and white gloves. I wonder what she thought when she saw how her hosts, Billie and Stanley Marcus, were dressed. But apparently she was not the only one who didn’t have the right clothes for a barbecue. According to Marcus’s memoir, Minding the Store , “It turned out that she didn’t like the taste of the barbecued meat and the highly seasoned beans, so she dumped her plate surreptitiously under the table. Unfortunately, the contents hit the satin slippers of Elizabeth Arden, who was seated next to her.” Privacy - Terms Chanel, Stanley Marcus, Mary “Biliie” Marcus, Elizabeth Arden watching the “Bovine Fashion Show” at Stanley Marcus’ Western Party. (DeGolyer Library: Photographs, Manuscripts, and Imprints) Lynn Mally taught modern Russian history at the University of California at Irvine until she retired to become a seamstress and an historian of American fashion. She writes the blog, American Age Fashion, where this article was originally posted on January 31, 2014.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 79 BOOK REVIEWS The Caddo indians: Tribes at the Convergence ofEmpires, 1542-1854 by F. Todd Smith, (Texas A&M University Press, Drawer C, John H. Lindsey Bldg., College Station, TX 77843-4354) 1995. Notes. Bibliography. Index. P. 229, Hardcover. 524.50. Despite their private role in southwestern history, the Caddos of East Texas and Louisiana have only now become the subject of a comprehensive chronicle. Elements of their saga have been available in various writings on regional history and ethnology, while two recent books present, respectively, Herbert Bolton's dated reconstruction of the southern Caddos and oral traditions from a modern tribe member, Vynola Newkumet. But Smith's volume is unitary, treating all three eaddoan confederacies - Hasinai, Kadohadacho, and Natchitoches - from DeSoto's time to removal. It is exquisitely researched and written, aside from a few minor mistakes in the early pages, and explains events from an Indian perspective while maintaining scholarly objectivity.
