Biographical History
Willis Sprague Holden was born in 1909, the son of Charles W. and Marie Sprague Holden. Coming from a family of writers, it was natural for W.S. Holden to go into journalism. As head of WSU's Journalism Department for twenty-four years, his acquaintances were many and noteworthy. Among the letters in the collection are those from U.S. Congressman William M. Brodhead, television weatherman Sonny Eliot, Michigan Governor William Milliken, poet Naomi Long Madgett, and travel Correspondent George Pierrot (Box 1:4; 1:7 and 1:8). Holden died in 1973.
Professor of Journalism at Wayne State Univerity in Michigan, W. Sprague Holden visited Australia during 1956-57 as a Fulbright Scholar. As a result of his visit, he published "Australia goes to press" in 1961. While in Australia, he was invited to join a safari to the North-West of Western Australia. This safari, led by Malcolm Uren and including eastern states newspaper editors, was designed to publicise the potential of the then almost unknown North-West of Western Australia.
Journalist and Dept. of Journalism chairman, Wayne State University.
