It’s the librarian’s fault
A new, digitized look at history
By David Chard, Leon Simmons Dean, Annette Caldwell
Simmons School of Education and Human Development
n 1977, Senator John Goodwin Tower (’53), a member of the
Senate Committee on Armed Services, presented his weekly television spot, “Tower News,” to the citizens of Texas.
“I believe more and more people across the country are beginning to recognize that the Soviet Union is engaged in serious,
steady and sustained efforts to become the dominant modern military power in the world,” said the senator soon after President
Jimmy Carter was inaugurated. “This is not the time for arbitrary
defense cuts. It is not the time to be taking unnecessary risks with
the security of the United States.”
A digital video of the recording is available to viewers for the
first time in nearly 30 years as the result of a partnership between
Central University Libraries and Southwestern University. Until
now, the spot was preserved at Southwestern, home of the John G.
Tower Collection, on 16 mm film considered too fragile to screen.
The spot is one of 30 audiovisual items to be digitized and made
available at smu.edu/tower/digitalcollection/. The site also includes
Tower speeches on energy, defense and trade, as well as a 27minute film, The Mutual Defense of Western Europe.

Classwork completed, I’d plead with my teacher to allow me to
visit Mrs. Ramsay, the librarian in our Midwestern elementary
school. The small, nondescript school bordered miles of cornfields and mobile home
factories. Mrs. Ramsay was also nondescript
in her brown skirt, beige cardigan and sensible beige shoes. However, her uninspiring
appearance belied her enthusiasm to introduce children like me to books that would
open our world beyond our beige Midwestern imaginations.
David Chard
Our house had no books or bookshelves.
My parents were factory workers who read only the weekly newspaper – 10 pages of headlines, farm reports, obituaries and ads.
Our television received only two snow-filled channels, common in
the 1960s and ’70s. Consequently, our after-school entertainment
was limited, making “Mrs. Ramsay’s books” seem even more glorious by comparison.
Mrs. Ramsay’s library was particularly exciting
because of her eagerness to let me explore any book,
no matter how complicated or difficult. She never
tried to steer me away from a topic.
Sometimes I selected books based on their size –
I thought the thicker they were, the smarter I looked.
Though she never discouraged me from my selection, she sported a smile when I returned them the

legacy. “Using new and existing software, we were able to create
stunning transfers with excellent fidelity,” says Rob Walker,
director of the Norwick Center for Digital Services.
John G. Tower represented Texas in the Senate from 1961
through 1984, serving on the Joint Committee on Defense Production and the Banking and Currency Committee, in addition to the
Armed Services Committee. Upon retiring from the U.S. Senate in
1985, Tower gave his papers to his alma mater, Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Audiovisual holdings in the collection include 400 videos and films as well as 425 audio recordings.
The John Goodwin Tower Center for Political Studies at SMU
was established soon after Tower and his daughter, Marian, were
killed in a plane crash in 1991. The center sponsors faculty and
student research and public outreach, and engages students in
public service.
“The Tower Library at Southwestern was stabilizing the films to
prevent deterioration when Jeanne Tower Cox happened to stop
by,” says Kathryn Stallard, head of special collections and archivist
of the John G. Tower Collection at Southwestern University. “An
explanation of what we were doing led to a discussion of longterm solutions, and Jeanne suggested a possible joint venture with
SMU. It was really Jeanne along with Gillian McCombs, the dean
and director of Central University Libraries, who launched this.”
A donation from SMU Board of Trustees member Jeanne
Tower Cox (’78), the senator’s youngest daughter, funded the initial digital collection. Plans call for more materials to be digitized
in the future.
“This is a wonderful example of a small institution and a large
institution combining resources in order to make collections available to the public,” Stallard says.
LEADING THE CHARGE FOR THE SECOND CENTURY CAMPAIGN
Lupton first used SMU’s libraries while working on his Master’s at
another university.
ibrary Executive Board members Ann Warmack Brookshire (’77)
and Tavenner “Tav” C. Lupton, III (’79) have agreed to serve as cochairs of the CUL Capital Campaign Committee, part of the $750 million SMU Second Century Campaign committee structure.

“The SMU library was much better than the library at the college
where I was getting my degree,” he says. “That made me recognize
the quality of the SMU collection and gave me the dedication to preserve it and to improve on it.”
Ann Brookshire has carried a library card since childhood.
“I loved being able to pick and choose books at my hometown library,”
she says. “I continued using the library both for study and reference as
a student at SMU.”
Lupton is president of Lupshire Management Company Inc. and

An active volunteer at SMU, she has chaired the Annual Fund and the
Parent Leadership Council and served on the Alumni Board of Directors.

“Libraries need help, too,” she says. “There are physical improvements that need attention, technology that needs updating and
leadership that needs cultivating.”
The biography section at Tav Lupton’s elementary school library
inspired his love of history and led him to pursue a Master’s degree in
history. “I remember reading through the whole shelf,” he says.

Meet the Mighty Mites
D. “Wheatie” Sealy, quarterback of the 1940 Mighty Mites
football team, signed books at a Friends of the SMU
Libraries event featuring Jim Dent, SMU alum and author of
Twelve Mighty Orphans (Thomas Dunne Books, 2007). The book tells
the underdog story of the powerhouse football teams from the
Fort Worth Masonic Home during the 1930s and ’40s. Twelve former
members of the team attended the event at DeGolyer Library.

Advertising legend Liener Temerlin donates papers to DeGolyer
he new Liener Temerlin Collection at DeGolyer Library is a
virtual walk through the Fortune 500, from American Airlines to the Zale Corporation, says Russell Martin, DeGolyer
Library director.
Advertising legend Liener Temerlin recently gave his collection of papers, representing 50 years in the industry, to DeGolyer
Library.
Temerlin began his career in 1953 as copywriter for Glenn
Advertising. He guided the company as it grew and changed
names, evolving from Glenn, Bozell & Jacobs to Temerlin McClain.
His influence helped make Dallas the advertising center of the Southwest, Martin says.
“This collection includes all the legendary
new business pitches, all the businesses he
helped to grow and all the national and
global clients he brought to Dallas,” says
Patty Alvey, distinguished chair and director of the Temerlin Advertising Institute at
SMU. “Liener also has a longstanding reputation for his civic and community involvement. “This collection is a record of
that and much more.”
The collection includes Temerlin’s
correspondence through the years as

DeGolyer collections also include the papers of retail giants
Roger Horchow and Stanley Marcus, Southern Pacific Railroad and
real estate leaders Henry S. Miller and Ebby Halliday.
“When I began in this business I never imagined that the dayto-day flotsam and jetsam of my advertising career would become
something of value to students and young professionals,” Liener
Temerlin said at a reception in his honor. “Perhaps they can
enhance their own careers and good works with what they find

Story time for littlest learners

Listen up: Hamon makes music user-friendly
ooner or later, all students go to the library – but it takes an
innovative library to go to the students. Hamon Arts Library is
expanding its online resources with collections that make tens of
thousands of tracks available at the click of a mouse, as well as
with new initiatives to increase access to its own collections.
Music and music history professors now can integrate their
lists of listening materials with the University’s Blackboard course
software. In turn, students can listen to them anywhere on
campus – and even off campus – via their Internet connections.
The library maintains a strong focus on improving course
reserves, says Jon Haupt, Hamon music and media librarian. “In
the past, students have had to come to the library to listen to a CD
or record,” he says. “Now we’re putting together course-specific

he adds. “We’re just trying to make it as convenient as possible for
students to do their required listening.”
That goal is further served by the library’s purchase of two
online resources for classical music: the Classical Music Library,
which offers more than 50,000 tracks from 30 labels, and the
Database of Recorded American Music. The databases are updated regularly, sometimes with thousands of tracks at a time.
“Online rights issues can be complicated,” he says. “These databases give us clear access to a vast amount of music without
having to reinvent the wheel.”
NEW DEVELOPMENT OFFICER LOOKS TO THE FUTURE
aulette Mulry (’83) reminisced about her SMU student days in November at her 25th class
reunion. As the new director of development for Central University Libraries, however,
she is looking to the future.
P
“It is so gratifying to see the progress at SMU,” she says.“I am looking forward to continuing to
build upon what we have.”
Mulry comes to SMU from Ketchum, a national fundraising consulting firm, where she was assistant vice president. Prior to joining Ketchum, she was director of development at the Lamplighter School, a private school in Dallas.
As a public relations and advertising major at SMU, Mulry played an active role in planning the
Women’s Symposium with the late Emmie Baine, then dean of women. Baine’s papers are now
part of the Archives of Women of the Southwest at DeGolyer Library.
“The ‘Remember the Ladies!’ campaign for the archives is particularly of interest to me,”
Mulry says.
