- Description:
- Blatt often spoke for the interests of the University of South Carolina in the state legislature. In this series of letters, he urges University of South Carolina alumni secretary Ralph Lewis to gather support for a bill that would provide $875,000 for a student union and cafeteria. The bill was ultimately defeated. Blatt would repeatedly urge officials at the University to increase their lobbying efforts. He felt that groups representing Clemson and other state colleges were more adept at winning funding from state legislators.
