Graham Woman To Present Collection Of Famous
Women’s Gowns At DAR Convention Next Tuesday
FRIDAY, MARCH 22. 1940

DENTON, March 22.—More than
500 members of the Texas Society of
the Daughters of the American Rev-
^ olution and numerous out of-state
guests are expected to come to Den-
ton March 25-28 where everything
is ready on the campus of Texas
State College for Women for the
41st annual state convention.
Denton was chosen as the 1940
DAR convention site because the
Golden Jubilee project of the Texas
branch—a collection of the inaugur-
al gowns of Texas’ presidents' and
governors' wives—is being perma-
nently housed in the Fine Arts
Building at TSCW, and will be dedi-
cated and presented to the college
on the second day of the conference.
"The college is deeply honored to
receive from the Daughters of the
American Revolution this gift of
historic costumes,’’ said Dr. U H.
Hubbard, president of TSCW. "It
is valuable, not only because of the
beauty of the gowns, but especially
because they are so closely linked
with the historical development of
Texas. It is a gift which is already
beyond fcrice, and will become with
the passage of the years even more
priceless if possible. The arrange-
ment of the costumes in one group
makes it especially attractive. It is
the hope of the college to add to
this collection the inaugural gowns
of wives of future governors of
Texas. In this way it will grow
in importance and interest."
These gowns were secured and
assembled through efforts of Mm
Geo. T. Spears of Graham as his-
torian for the State DAR organi-
sation.
The presentation of the collection
of 81 historic gowns to the college
highlights the four-day convention j
V program. The entire gown exhibit
—-reveal* fgabion-trsnds more
than a hundred years. Many of
them are made of materials no long-
er manufactured. Mrs. George T.
Spears, state historian, will preside
at the presentation and dedication
of the gowns Tuesday afternoon,
March 26. Invitations have been
extended to all living governors and
their wives to attend the celebration,
and each woman in the museum will
be presented by some blood relative.
Other outstanding features on the
conference program will be the pre-
sentation of Mrs. Lexie Dean Rob-
ertson, poet laureate of Texas, read-
ing from her verse at 8 on Monday
evening; Walter Prescott- Webb of
the Texas Historical Society, lectur-
