Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas
NAMING THE NEW FIELD
In student newspaper articles and a letter writing campaign, then editor of the Daily Texan, D.A. Frank began referring to the new football field as Clark Field in the hopes of honoring “Judge” James Clark, who was noted to be a proctor, librarian, bursar, registrar, groundskeeper, and friend to all. The campaign ultimately worked and “Clark Field” became the official name of the University of Texas football field.
