I took these pictures when my family went up to Austin during the summer of 1983. We checked out the campus of the University of Texas, where I was strongly considering going (and where I ultimately went to college), and went inside the Dobie dorm to check out the views of campus. Freshman year my room had a view of the Tower, on the 9th floor. Downtown is nearly unrecognizable compared to now with all of the construction that has taken place since. These photos and slides start with a view from Mt. Bonnell, then the Capitol Building and downtown, and finally the UT campus.
