Dear Lee:
I have learned, with sorrow, of the death of your wife. As you
know, Cora was an extraordinary woman. The University of Texas is
honored by and proud of her legacy. The higher education community
was blessed to have such an important civil rights advocate and
inspired teacher and mentor among us over these many decades. She
leaves behind a truly remarkable and distinguished litany ot
achievements, as well as an admired and accomplished family.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. The
thoughts and prayers of her UT family are with you.
Sincerely,
William Powers, Jr.
President
