Book excerpt: Excerpt from After Seventy-Five Years Baylor and Texas together have risen to heights planned, dreamed and sacrificed for by the same heroic leaders. Our heroes in war were the same great men who laid the foundation of education in Texas; the same men who secured the first dollar for free schools ever placed in the Texas treasury and gave the first one thousand dollars to Baylor University.
