    This slideshow offers a glimpse of what was found inside a 54-year-old University of Texas at Austin ROTC time capsule.

    Last fall, a crew of construction workers stumbled upon the time capsule in the cornerstone of Steindam Hall during demolition. About a year later, the ROTC and UT Veteran’s Committee gathered at the UT Club located within the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to crack open the 4-by-12-inch copper box.
