his support of educational developments, with particular reference to The
University of Texas and Baylor University; his participation in organizations

Archeological Society, and the American Red Cross during World War I; and his
interest in historical research, especially dealing with the Republic of Texas
and the Civil War periods, and genealogical studies of the Grimes, Wren, Acree,
and related families. Collection includes the papers of Mrs. E. V. Acree,
mother of Fred Acree. Materials include correspondence, memorandum books,
