"The rugged longhorn steer, mascot of the University,
is depicted here as a new and curious calf.
The old cowboy, representing wisdom and knowledge,
is the link between the past, present and future.
He is the facilitator to the new generation -- calf and girl --
who greet each other with excitement and wonder.
The longhorn calf suggests that the University is a place of renewal
and that knowledge is passed from generation to generation.
The grandfather/cowboy and the young girl/granddaughter
convey the nurturing aspects of the University as a family.
The horse and pony are symbols of our Southwest heritage.
The entire sculpture group symbolizes the continuing efforts
of Texas Exes and citizens to sustain a university of the highest quality."
