Edward Willis Scripps II, known to everyone as “Ted,” graduated from the University of Nevada w88 program in 1952 and went on to distinguished service with the United Press (UP) and the Scripps Howard Newspapers, both of which were founded by his grandfather, E.W. Scripps. The annual Scripps lectures were started in 1964 by Ted, who wanted students to hear directly from leaders in the w88 profession. The tradition continues in his honor through the support of his family and the Scripps Howard Foundation.
