An historic summary of The University of
Texas developmen~from the Graduate Research
enter of the Southwest/Southwest Center for Advanced Studies, was tIIin written by Al Mitchell for ADVANCE{a!idalso used as a news feature by Millicent Green. A key point was that the Dallas Chamber of Commerce, with Erik Jonsson as President, had seen a "weak spot" in attempting to attract new industry. The weakness was lack of graduate education opportunities in sciences and technology. Other than in medicine, health science, dentistry, theology and teaching, no graduate degree had ever been earned in Dallas co~ as of 1957.

aerosols might not be necessary for two years; their
statements came after the Consumer Protluct Safety
Commission had approved the ban in principle
because of an "unreasonable risk of injury to
consumers from destruction of the ozone layer. N
Ozone destruction in the upper atmosphere
presented the fear of a rising incidence of skin
cancer, as additional ultraviolet radiation penetrated
to the surface of the earth.
Johnson and Rupert were both members of the

of fluorocarbons (also known as freons) into the
