GALLERY OVERVIEW UT history database should mention Simkins’ affiliation with Klan The Texas Exes website recently launched “UT History Central: A Comprehensive Guide to University of Texas His- tory.” It’s a collection of UT facts and trivia, ranging from expla- nations of major traditions — such as the “Hook ‘em” hand sign — to random minutiae. The collection is also notable for what it’s missing: complete information about William Simkins. Simkins is described in laudatory terms as a UT law faculty member who was pro- moted to professor emeritus “after 24 years of service” and “responsible for the organization of the Texas State Bar As- sociation.” From that description, one would never guess that a 21-member panel was formed to discuss re-christening the dorm that bears his namesake. The Texas Exes UT Heritage Society, which compiled Histo- ry Central, culled information from The Alcade, a 1983 publication that celebrated the University’s 100th anniversary. Al- though the society considers the archive a work in progress and urges readers to send in any items they would like added to the collection, it is strange that it did not preemptively edit the entry on Simkins to reflect his involvement with the Ku Klux Klan. It’s a widely-publicized fact, even nationally, that Simkins co-founded a chapter of the Klan in Florida. The question of how UT should preserve its history, even its most unsavory and reprehensible aspects, is a recurring theme in the Simkins renaming debate. But one thing should not be controversial: In a database purporting to represent the history of UT, Simkins’ entry should reflect his character in full, even if his character reflects poorly on the University.
