The fund's principal trustee for 27 years, he oversaw expenditures that greatly improved the University's already substantial holdings. Barnes F. Lathrop's publications, his tours of duty on the executive council and the board of editors of the Southern Historical Association, and his stint as a visiting professor at Rice University in 1964 influenced a constituency beyond The University of Texas. But his greatest legacy is the company of well-trained historians he sent into the profession. At numerous schools in the greater Southwest and beyond, his students attained positions of considerable responsibility, published widely, and tutored other generations of historians. This memorial resolution was prepared by a special committee consisting of Professors Gary W. Gallagher, Michael G. Hall, Lewis L. Gould, and Norman D. Brown.
