Gone to Texas


Gone to Texas was a phrase used by Americans immigrating to Texas in the 19th century. As adventures pulled up stakes seeking a fresh start, three letters three letters chalked on homestead doors revealed their destination. GTT...Gone to Texas.
Each August on the evening before fall classes begin at the University of Texas, new students are invited to celebrate their fresh start at the Tower with live music and a broad spectrum of presentations from across the campus.
Come August we will be chalking those letters on our door (hopefully to the dismay of our noisy neighbors). You can never stay away from home for too long.
