Many colleges or universities have a namesake and a statue of that person somewhere on their campus. Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas is no exception.

On the day my family was there, we must have saw dozens of people getting their photos taken in front of the large statue. Of course, my girls thought it too silly or touristy to do the same. So, I present Mr. Austin, sans kids.
