The policies for the Division are formulated by the Extension Council which is composed of eight faculty members from different colleges in the University, the University librarian, and the Extension staff. All of the activities of the Division are self-sustaining. The range of service covers many of the business activities of the state and local government, newspapers, schools, and instruction through both extension classes and correspondence students. With the reorganization of the School of Business under Dean Elmore Petersen, there is a close cooperation between that School and the Extension Division. A. C. Cross, Assistant Director. [28]

p K D J U R N A L S M It (the newspaper) is . . . the high priest of His- tory, the vitalizer of Society, the world ' s great informer, the earth ' s high censor, the medium of thought and opin- ion. ... It is the enemy of tyrants, and the right arm of liberty, . . . — Samuel Bowles, Founder of the Springfield Republican. I HE Department of Journalism prepares its students to assume the responsibilities implied in Mr. Bowles ' estimate of the newspaper. This requires a broad educational background, as well as knowledge of newspaper technique. Both are provided in the Journalism curriculum. Journalism instruction is given by actual practice under condi- tions that prevail in a newspaper office. The laboratory and reading room are well equipped. The Associated Press and United Press cooperate by furnishing their reports for student use.

K S U M M E R Q U A R T E R DAN t t t MiLO G. Derham I HIRTY-ONE years ago a summer session of six weeks was organized, in the conviction that the University, due to its high standards and favorable location, pos- sessed unusual promise of becoming an important center of summer study. The steady growth of the session proved this conviction well founded. Sixteen years ago, a change was made to a summer quarter of two distinctly marked terms of equal length. A rapid increase in enrollment and scope of influence resulted. Each year visiting instructors from worthy institutions have been invited to assist the resident members of the faculty. Courses have been offered in practically every department of the University, to a student body representing every state in the union. The endeavor to adequately provide for the requirements of a student body of diversified interests and to utilize fully the peculiar advantages pertaining to our Uni ' versity, with its cool summer climate conducive to serious study, and its natural setting, inviting to stimulating recreation has resulted in developing activities either peculiar to, or meriting special emphasis in, the summer.
