In Dea'i5cltz'0n . . . Dean, Olson Continues Fight for Truth The story of the 1959 Syllabus is partially the story of people and their search for truth. Dean Kenneth E. Olson even in his semi-retirement is still carrying on his fight for truth by passing his ideals on to the students he teaches. VVe feel that a man such as this symbolizes the highest of the goals which we are striving to attain. So we humbly dedicate our book, the 1959 Syllabus, to our K'Dean,' Olson of the Medill School of Journalism. Reporter, advertiser, editor, and educator during his life, Dean Olson first took over the journalism here at Northwestern in 1937 when it was still a department under the commerce school. By 1938 he had established the Medill School of Journalism which has since become nationally recognized as a leader in the field. Northwestern learned with sorrow in 1956 that ill health was causing him to resign as dean of Medill and go into semi-retirement teaching a few classes. In March of 1960 he left for the Far East where he will spend ten weeks working with journalists of other countries. E E Dean', Olson sits behind his desk confronted by a mound of paper work, symbols of his life-'s work. The most basic element of any Writer's Journalists of today depend on the type- Pen in inkwell, the three symbols of the trade is the paper upon which he Writes. writerg yesterday, it was the pen. writer's trade are now complete.
