\n\"UC<\/a>By:\u00a0 Kevin Grace<\/em><\/p>\n

An additional four years of the University of Cincinnati News Record has now been digitized, thanks to the generosity of a Bearcat alumnus.\u00a0 Jordan L. Bleznick, a 1976 A&S graduate, funded the project to digitize the student newspaper from 1973 through 1976, adding to the previous digitized issues from 1960 through 1970.\u00a0 Researchers can access these years by visiting the University of Cincinnati Digital Collections site at: http:\/\/digitalprojects.libraries.uc.edu\/newsrecord\/index.php<\/a>.\u00a0 The newspapers are available as full-text and are keyword searchable.<\/p>\n

\"Bleznick\"<\/a>Mr. Bleznick made his gift in honor of his father, Dr. Donald W. Bleznick, who died in 2011.\u00a0 Dr. Bleznick had a long career as a professor of Romance Languages at the University of Cincinnati and was a prolific scholar of Spanish literature. Professor Bleznick came to UC in 1967 as the head of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures and retired in 1995.\u00a0 He was the author of over 200 articles and 20 books, including a seminal study of the 17th<\/sup> century Spanish satirist, Francisco de Quevedo.<\/p>\n

Jordan Bleznick served on the staff of the News Record during his undergraduate days, including a stint as the sports editor in 1974.\u00a0 His kind \"Quevedo\"<\/a>donation continues the University of Cincinnati Libraries\u2019 effort to digitize as many years as possible of the newspaper.\u00a0 Beginning in 1880, UC\u2019s student newspaper has had a variety of names \u2013 Burnet Woods Echo, Belatrasco, University News, and Bearcat News, as well as the News Record \u2013 and has always been a mainstay of campus life.\u00a0 An initial grant from the University of Cincinnati Alumni Association in 2007 began the digitization project, with the years 1960 through 1970 selected because of the importance of that decade both in UC\u2019s and in American history.\u00a0 It is hoped that additional years can be made available in this way because digitization means the fragile original copies of the News Record in the University Archives can be preserved while making the newspaper easily accessible at any time in any place.<\/p>\n
