  Excellent info on the 2 Georges... I had heard this similar info from Ed Van de Vort who used to teach a class on Austin History. He took us (his class) to the Fountain and area of South Mall to see this classic fountain, statues and gorgeous setting. As a newcomer to Austin, I found his information about the history of UT, its bldgs and statues most interesting. Ed was not a UT grad, however, he was a man of the Arts and found much on the UT campus he liked. Great job on your video. Good that there were 2 Georges... UT profited from both in very positive ways. Let us hope that this area stays intact as is because it reflects a part of UT, TX and US History in a specific time. Again great JOB.

  Not a native of TX; , hence my ignorance on the Georges and their story. Quite interested how everything carries a bit of history. Just dropped off from Luce Foundation of American Art site. Appreciate the work on preserving American history in all it form art, records and the lot great work.

  I had seen the statues when I was stationed at Ft Hood, TX. My friends showed me around the state and the different tings to see but they did not know the story behind them.
