The Eyes of Texas: A Student Movement’s Paper Trail
A historical archive documenting a University of Texas student movement, the secret society it exposed, the resulting book, and the surviving press record.
Field notes
The project uses a chronological structure to connect a 2008 student reform campaign with the 2009 disclosure of The Eyes of Texas, then follows the movement’s aftermath through 2010. Its source collection reportedly includes scanned Daily Texan pages, a society constitution, campaign brochures, a movement banner, official inquiries, and coverage from the Alcalde and The New York Times. The homepage also identifies a 2024 rebrand as Olive and Oak and a revised 2026 edition of the associated book.
