'Twas written for those Texas Exes / Who think they don't like thought-complexes. / Therefore it's full of yarns and fun, / And tells what college guys have done, / And what they might have done, had they / Been half as studious as gay; / It deals with college sport and strife, / The ups and downs of campus life." Harry Yandell Benedict (1869-1937) was an American astronomer, mathematician, and professor who taught at the University of Texas at Austin (UT). He was also notable for being the university's longest-serving president, the first UT alumnus to serve as president, and the only president to have also served as president of the alumni association..
