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.

Srour Old College Entrance To The Syllabus: The School of Education, organized in 1926, has completed its fifth year of work. During this time the enrollment of students in courses in education has increased approximately 7095 and whereas in 1926-27 the primary registration in the School of Education was less than 2572, of the total enrollment, in 1930-31 the proportion of primary registrants was approxi- mately 50'Z,. It is also significant that the number of graduate students during this period has increased 60fZ,. 1n 1927, fourteen degrees were granted by the School of Education and in 1931, one hundred fourteen. The work on the Mcliinlock Campus, begun three years ago with an enrollment of twenty-five students has increased to more than two hundred. The number of courses offered during last year was approximately double that of the first year and with a corresponding increase in faculty. The School now maintains its own graduate library, has a well-equipped Educational Clinic, and researches being published uglider the direction of the School are attracting favorable attention in the field of professional e ucation, The School of Education now provides four years of undergraduate work, and its graduate programs lead to the degree of Master of Arts, Master of Science in Education, and Doctor of Philosophy.
