lirxxi- iii Orsox l?t.1u of ff,ff1'zJ.:f'x.if1f AS A GUIDING force of the School of Speech, Dean Ralph Dennis has constantly tried to attain high goals in education and has striven to huild up the school ever since he became Dean in 1913. An energetic personality himself, Dean Dennis considers the development of a direct and forceful manner an essential aim of all education. There is, he feels, an ever-present necessity for human contacts, and education should be that preparation for living which helps to develop the clear thinking that is necessary to meet workaday problems. By learning the use of evidence and by studying the emotions and imagination of others, the student may gradually cultivate the ability to solve personal and general problems. The plans for the expansion of the School are typical of the progressive spirit that Dean Dennis terms education. Blue-print plans have already been developed for a new and adequate building to house the theatre, for a speech clinic, ancl for new class- rooms. Dean Dennis now con- siders it his job to translate these plans into stone and mortar. To conform with his ideas of a moving and growing education, he would require a student body of what he terms wild pigeons, or students with brains and burning ambition to achieve high goals in Life. INS -V EIISI 3 'l'l-lll MIEDILL SCHOOL of journalism, after existing for seventeen years as a division of the Commerce School, was reorganized in 1938 as an independent school on a basis similar to that underlying law and medical schools. Its live-year program gives students three years in 'Liberal Arts in which they receive a broad background necessary for success in news- paper work today. In the fourth year they continue their background courses and at the same time begin their professional studies. At the end of this year -they are eligible for a degree granted either by the Commerce School or of the College of Liberal Arts. In their fifth year, students con- centrate entirely on professional training, which gives them the preliminary training necessary to enable them to advance to positions of greater useful- ness without starting at the bottom of the ladder. 'l'he School of journalism not only provides the thorough edu- cational background necessary for success in newspaper work, but X. also offers instruction in stand- ard newspaper practice both on the news and business sides and gives students some perspective of their profession, some under- standing of its history and cur- rent problems, and some appre- ciation of the social functions and responsibilities of the press. Dean Olson believes that North- western now has a sound pro- gram for journalistic education which is approved by newspaper- men, and that the school will soon be recognized as the strong- est in the country.
