bers' generous contributions of over $50o,ooo000 to the new Handbook of
Texas project have established the following fellowships: the Abell-
Hanger Research Fellowship in Texas Studies, established by the
Abell-Hanger Foundation; the Edward A. Clark Research Fellowship in
Texas Studies, established by Jack S. Blanton, Texas Commerce Bank,
Austin, the Rockwell Fund, and friends; the J. Conrad Dunagan
Research Fellowship, established by the J. Conrad Dunagan Founda-
tion. The income from these endowed fellowships is used to support
graduate students who are researching and writing for the new Hand-
book. The benefits of these fellowships are many. They move the
Handbook project along, and they assist graduate students in com-
pleting their education. In the process of employing graduate students
to work on the Handbook of Texas, we are creating a whole new
generation of young scholars in the field of Texas studies. The train-
ing they receive under the Handbook fellowships is making them
among the most professional and competent scholars produced in185
