Page v Acknowledgments This project is indebted to the Fulbright Program, whose grant to Milo Kearney for lecturing and research at the Instituto Tecnolgico in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, during the 19921993 academic year allowed the core of this project to be developed. We wish to thank Dr. Juliet Garca, president of the University of Texas at Brownsville, Dr. Anthony Zavaleta, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Dr. Peter Gawenda, director of Research and Planning, Dr. Bill Adams, head of the Social Sciences department, Yolanda Gonzlez, archivist of the Hunter Room of the University of Texas at Brownsville's Oliveira Memorial Library, and Professor Abel Gonzlez for their help in working out the details of this program. We also appreciate the generous support of Ing. Javier Alonso Banda, director of Matamoros' Instituto Tecnolgico, Ing. Leonardo Vargas, the subdirector, and Lic. Patricia Garca Lerma, head of the Department of Applied Sciences, in making this project a success. The enthusiastic class participation of professors, teachers, students, and members of the town historical societies from both Matamoros and Brownsville was the most important motivating factor. Finally, we would like to express a special thanks for their help on this project to Sean Kearney, Kathleen Kearney, John Kearney, and most of all to Vivian Kearney.
