MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State University alum and comedian David Letterman has donated more than 1,000 memorabilia items — including 15 Emmy Awards he won as talk show host — to the eastern Indiana school.

The (Muncie) Star Press reports that Ball State is appraising, researching and doing inventory on the items.

The gift was announced during a 2015 appearance by Letterman on the Muncie campus.
