n i i i FOREWORD Within recent years every liviiiy, vital art has gone through an inner bath of fire, and each has come out bettered. A few years back and we were chuckling at the eccentric joiirnalism advocated by William Randolph Hearst. X no longer marks the spot where the body was found, but indi- cates the birthplace of a newer and finer journal ism. William Randolph Hearst has shown himself the apostle of progress with a text taken from human life. To William Randolph Hearst The Yam- acraw of 1932 is dedicated by a staff im- bued with his tenets of patriotism and progress. As joumalism has advanced through his efforts from cloying dullness to virility, so we believe that the cause of education ivill be bettered by the university of the air. Through the radio diision of Oglethorpe University ' knowledge is given to the many, just as through the Hearst newspapers wisdom has been given the masses. The university of the air and William Randolph Hearst are actuated by the same progressive motives, striving to do that which has not been done before. In this analogy the staff of The Yani- acraw of 1932 have striven to present that which has hitherto been unseen. With William Randolph Hearst as a central fig- ure and WJTL, the university of the air, as a central theme, we offer new recollec- tions of old memories in a strange and finer guise.
