The Daily Texan 10/21/09 Cronkite legacy enters UT archives By Lena Price Daily Texan Staff October 21, 2009 Walter Cronkite was no stranger to the University of Texas at Austin, and now most of his personal papers and photographs will be permanently filed in the archives of the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History on campus. Three months after his death, the will of the legendary broadcaster and former student has been finalized, and the papers are now being transferred to UT. "These are some of the most influential documents in the history of broadcast journalism," said center director Don Carleton. Cronkite dropped out of the University in 1935 during his junior year, but while he was a student, he worked as a reporter for The Daily Texan. He went on to work as an anchor for CBS News and famously declared the Vietnam War could not be won. The center already has the majority of Cronkite’s papers stored in its archives, including all of his reporter’s notebooks from his 1968 tour through Vietnam and some of his old Texan articles. The article goes on to mention that the Cronkite memorabilia will be put on exhibit in May of next year.  Sonia |
