Walter Smith Spearman (1908-1987) taught journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1937-1978, wrote plays and short stories, wrote for numerous newspapers, and was an amatuer actor for over forty years. The collection is material chiefly documenting the work of Walter S. Spearman as journalist, educator, and writer. Correspondence is largely letters from former journalism students of Spearman's, from writers of works he had reviewed, and from fellow journalists. Correspondents include playwright Paul Green, writer Gail Godwin, and journalists Jonathan Daniels and Charles Kuralt. Writings consist chiefly of stories, plays, speeches, and fragments of stories. Subject files consist chiefly of material collected by Spearman for use in journalism classes and writing workshops.
