Since we first began the Shanna Leigh Couch Memorial Scholarship, her mother and I have received at least one email from the University of Texas (or the school of engineering or some other organization at UT) every week. As you might expect, they all want more money, but most have something interesting to say.
One of the most interesting recently was this discussion from Jim Nicar of the UT Heritage Society about how the school colors were chosen. I would embed the video here if I could, but the site doesn’t support it. You can watch it by clicking HERE.
His talk is fascinating, but it’s almost six minutes long. If you don’t have time to watch it, I can boil it down for you. Why the school chose the colors they did can be explained in just two words – Alumni meddling.
