It's a @UTAustin Longhorn Friday! 🤘 This longhorn guards the entrance to the Texas Union's Cactus Cafe, a space that was originally the "Chuck Wagon," a popular western-themed short order diner. You can still see the 1930s lighting and ranch-style decorations on the ceiling.

This Saturday is the 121st anniversary of the @UTAustin seal, adopted by the Board of Regents on October 31, 1905. Professor William Battle (Battle Hall's namesake) worked with the Bailey, Banks & Biddle jewelry firm of Philadelphia to create it.
