Students of the Marquette School of Speech have interested themselves this year in the problems of the postwar world. These problems have provided a central theme for debates and other extra-curricular activities as well as for academic work. Speech courses and related activities were organized as a unit in 1910. Debating, dramatic art and other speech education activities have been under the direction of the School since 1926. Today the School offers opportunities for specializing in dramatics, public speaking, interpretation, speech correction and radio. The unwavering progress which Marquette students have made in these various fields of speech has proceeded under the direction of Dr. Hugo E. Heilman. Working with Director Heilman is Rev. Donald J. Keegan, S.J., dean of the College of Liberal Arts, who is moderator of the School of Speech. One of the most prominent activities of the School is the Women’s Program Bureau.
