The laborious processes which in 1452 culminated in the invention of printing, prefaced the gradual progress of what today is the profession of journalism. The work of pioneers through the centuries since then has made possible the enormous influence which the newspaper industry exerts on the modern age. But in order to maintain its position, any profession must be constantly supplied with new talent. The The olfice and (li«r«oim of the College of Joumjliun arc looted in Johnston Mill. The Rev. Raphael N. Hamilton, Ph.D.. Regent, and J. L. O'Sullivan. Dean of the College of Journalism. purpose of American journalism colleges is to form this supplement. The well organized unit at Marquette answers this purpose. Students who study journalism soon realize the need of studying for a dual purpose. If they are ever to participate in writing a daily history of the world, technical and professional facility must be augmented by a cultural background. This second constituent cannot be acquired in its usual superficial connotation; it must be thorough in order to interpret the news correctly in the light of what has happened in the past. The combination of courses and training at Marquette equips the student to do just this. The progressively consistent development of journalism on the Hilltop had its inception in 1910 through the efforts of the Rev. John E. Copus, S.J. Six years later a separate institution, the College of Journalism, was founded, succeeding the scattered courses which had previously been offered under the supervision of the College of Economics. Since then the department has made rapid strides toward becoming an efficient organization which is rated high among journalism schools today. Extensive equipment and facilities have been added to afford the student of journalism at Marquette every opportunity to gain both practical and theoretical knowledge. A journalism library, now consisting of 2,000 supplementary texts and an additional 2,000 bound volumes of periodicals, has been developed. A newsroom, replete with typewriters and copy desks, forms a replica of the workshop which future reporters will encounter on any metropolitan news organ. Two intertype machines and all the necessary equipment for setting type by hand forms the background for a well-stocked composing room. Two presses and pertinent machinery in the basement of Johnston Hall print the three University publications—the weekly Marquette Tribune, the quarterly Marquette Journal which is a literary magazine and the annual Hilltop. Every student in the College of Journalism is given a chance to gain valuable experience through editing, managing or publishing these three, as well as to observe the mechanical and technical processes concerned. The school has undergone its major improvements under the present faculty organizations headed by J. L V

Marquette University Law School, housed in .1 building of Tudor Collegiate Gothic architecture, combines long-established principles of education with modern practical methods in moulding the embryo lawyer. Under excellent faculty supervision and valuable contact with prominent Milwaukee jurists, the law student combines actual experience with individual initiative in learning his chosen profession. In less than three decades, from its beginning in 1908 to the present day, the Law School has risen to rank with the best in America. It is on the approved list of the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools, thus conforming to the highest standards required of institutions engaged in the practice of teaching law. The case system, in use since 1929, is the basis of instruction. Rules and various decisions are studied and then applied by reference to specific cases—the effort Francis X. Swictlik. LL.D..

In order to acquaint the student with the complexities of cases and give him actual court room experience. moot court sessions arc held. At the beginning of the school year, the senior class is divided into groups, each being considered a law firm. Cases arc assigned to each firm and must be prosecuted or defended during the year. An instructor acts as judge and the freshman class forms a jury panel. One year's work in the court is necessary for graduation. The Rev. Hugh B. MacMahon, S.J., a member of the Marquette faculty since the inception of the Law School, is regent. Father MacMahon is the oldest priest in point of service to the University and in 19.V1 celebrated his Golden Jubilee as a member of the Society of Jesus. Francis X. Swietlik, a Marquette University Law graduate of 191b has been dean of the school during the past four years. He is a prominent Milwaukee attorney and is eminently qualified for this high position at Marquette University. Willis E.
