Agree whole heartedly with Mr. Cardwell -- should be required reading for every entering freshman and transfer student. Another requirement: some background on why the football stadium is called "Memorial Stadium," with all due respect to Coach Royal. I know Coach Royal personally, and he deserves the recognition. But it's apparent that few, anymore, know that the stadium originally honored UT students who gave their lives in WWI. A sad legacy for a great "memorial" to so many.
America was strong then, and unashamed. Should be required reading for the current student body and the faculty - from a time when men loved their country more than their life.
