Philospher's Rock

In front of entrance to Barton Springs, is the "Philosophers' Rock" that features Roy Bedicheck, a naturalist; J. Frank Dobie, a folklorist; and Walter Prescott Webb, a historian. These men would gather on a flat rock near the diving board of Barton Springs and talk about an infinite number of things.

Prescott Webb (the one in the middle) happens to also a past president of the American Historical Association (in 1957). Everywhere I go, it seems as if history follows me...


O with Roy
