Prior to coming to Illinois in 1924, he was engaged in the practice of journalism, military service, and the teaching of journalism. In 192 1 he came to the University of Illinois as an assistant professor from the headship of the depart- ment of journalism at the University of North Dakota. In 1925 he was made director of the work in journalism at Illinois, and in 1927, when the School of .loiirnalism was established, he was placed at its head. I)ikk»;t( k L wrence W. Murphy The School of JournaHsm THE School of Journalism approaches its sixth commencement exercises with the largest senior class in its brief history. There is reason to believe that it has not )et reached its full stature and that it may continue to grow, developing its program to be of aid not only to those seeking careers in the newspaper and magazine world but to those in the new and inviting realms of radio and television journalism, to those in talking pictures journalism and advertising, to those seeking to build success in creative writing on newspaper studv and experience, and to those interested in carrying the lessons of editorial training into all walks of life. Thirty vears ago the Lniversit offered its first course in journal- ism. Just as the program of todav differs from that of 1902. so the program developed during the coming years will differ from that in effect today. The emphasis on newspaper training as the basic discipline will not change, but the adjustments necessary to utilize inventions and recognize varying interests will bring new elements into the course of studv. ■scj si p SBRfiZiaiir r ' f ' ' :: :p ?msL? i - ' ti :w .

Windsor The Library and the Library School TTIE University Library, through the General Library and its branches, provides the books needed by students for required reading for class work: it provides books for much of the students ' general reading, such as those in the Browsing Room; it provides books for graduate students, who in writing theses often must con- sult many uncommon volumes; and it provides books the faculty need in their investigations. Not having all the books required, especially for the two latter classes of users, it borrows more than 500 books a vear from libraries in other parts of the country. The librarians organize the more than 870.000 volumes into a useable library, and give much assistance to students and faculty. The Librarv School is a professional school for the training of librarians, and admits only college graduates, because a librarian ' s first need is a good, general education. Students come to it from every part of the country, and its graduates are in libraries similarly located. University of Illinois Libr hv Page jO
