KU library gets papers of late Rep.
The Kansas Collection of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library has acquired the papers of the late Congressman Wint Smith of Mankato.
Smith, who died last spring, was a KU alumnus. He served as a U.S. Representative from the old sixth district of Kansas from 1947 to 1961.
The papers, which cover the years 1915 to 1975, include Smith's personal correspondence, diaries, campaign materials, congressional correspondence and office files, speeches and personal memorabilia. In 1916 Smith served in a cavalry unit Gen. John (Blackjack) Pershing and during World War I he served as an infantry officer.
After the war, Smith returned to Kansas and played on the fourth and baseball team.
HE GRADUATED in 1820 with a bachelor's degree in English and then attended Harvard, where he received a law degree in 1922.
Smith practiced law in Kansas City, Kan., until World War II began. He commanded a tank destroyer battalion in Europe and after the war retired as a baird general.
The collection includes Smith's diaries during this period, along with his military duties.
It also contains papers covering the time Smith served as state assistant attorney general and as the first superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Correspondence from constituents,
selection files and subject files on the United
Nations and on civil rights, which were
published in the American journal of
served in Congress, are in the collection.
"ONE OF THE reasons his collection is so extensive is that Smith was a bistory book and kept everything he had," George Lewis of Kansas Collection curated, said yesterday.
Although other schools wanted the papers, Griffin felt the Smith widow, Katherine, of Smith would be happier.
He said Smith knew about the Kansas Collection and wanted his papers to be given to him.
Smith's collection, which must be sorted and filed, will be ready in three months, Griffin said. It will be housed with the college shell on the ground floor of Spencer Research Library.
Anyone may use the collection, Griffin said.
