, iii Qi 1 Q.: View of Harris Hall To The Syllabus: a Graduate work is an essential part of a great university. It has two principal features which distinguish it from undergraduate study-first, the concentration of attention on a single Held, and second, the development of originality in research. Graduate study in America is rather recent in its development. A century ago there 'was no such thingy fifty years ago a start was being made in a few universitiesg now it prevails in all universities and many colleges. At Northwestern ?ts development has come mainly in the last twenty years. While there were less than a hundred graduate students in the Uni- versity twenty years ago, the number now registered in a single year is over a thousand. The number of Master's degrees granted annually exceeds the number of Bachelor's degrees con' ferred two decades ago. Graduate study is becoming a necessity for those who wish to be successful in educational work or in other fields of activity where superior education gives prestige. The extent to which this is recognized is indicated by the fact that a third ofthe fifteen hundred degrees granted by Northwestern last year were awarded on the completion of courses which extended beyond the conventional four year program required for a Bachelor's degree. . .... s Air View of Campus Tau-ard Lake UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION S -I tt el-I ' i.la.4QgeeAg.,QQffff QBf'if'ffff U ' S' -E ,. ..u....--. ,. v. ,ae ....

45. wa s in jf' 45 f 'Q flaw ' The Commerce and Journalism Building To The Syllabus: One hundred years ago when a newspaper publisher wanted to issue his publication to a meagre list of subscribers, he was compelled to spread ink on the type, put a piece of paper on the forms, apply his muscle to the lever, and thus get a sticky copy of his weekly Gazette- all hand-made. If the circulation ran over the 1000 mark, the printer-publisher went home to rest his tired legs and arms. Then came horse-power, when patient Dobbin supplied energy sufficient to turn the cogs of the press, to be followed by the application of the Wizardry ofsteam, so that circulation of newspapers soared sky-high. There followed the linotype, stereotyping, the telegraph, electricity, multiple presses- so that today the newspaper has been transformed from a small localized product, available to a few, into a vast, diversified bundle of knowledge supplied to millions. And all this is crowded into one hundred years, and less. The important place Schools of journalism have taken in this development, how they seek to train young men and women to plan and fashion better newspapers, and to bring to those newspapers trained aptitudes and alert intellects, should constitute one chapter in the story of journalism to be unfolded at the Pageant of Progress in 1933. The university cannot shirk the responsibility of directing and elevating popular tastes and standards as the years pass, and this leadership will require newspaper workers of high intellectual calibre, wide sympathies, and a capacity 'for interpretation, qualities of mind and heart which may best be cultivated within the collegiate environment. - , Journalism Laboratory UNIVERSITY ADMINIQTRATION 4 JOURNALISM DEAN'S MESSAGE s N l PAGE 33 V k 5 i 1 1 5'- 'fo ,Ji i l ii wif H. li 7' H1127 v HARRY F.
