Dr. Castafieda was born in Camargo, Mexico, on November
11, 1896, and came to Texas in 19o8. After graduating from the ,
Brownsville High School in 1916, he attended the University of
Texas and received the B.A. degree in 1921, the M.A. degree in
1923, and the Ph.D. degree in 1932. He began his professional
career as a teacher in the public schools of Beaumont (1921)
and San Antonio (1922-1923), after which he became an asso-
ciate professor of Spanish at William and Mary College (1923-
1927) . In 1927 he returned to the University of Texas to become
librarian of the Latin American Collection (1927-1946), asso-
ciate professor of history (1936-1946), and professor of Latin

of Texas, he was also invited to teach at various times at the Uni-
versity of New Mexico, the University of Mexico, Our Lady of
the Lake College, and the Catholic University of America.
