llmrzcron L.xwRi:xrrg W. Mrmfr-rx' LAWRENCE W1L1.1AM MURPHY, Director of the School of Journalism, was born in Madison, Wisconsin, October 18, 1895. He was grad- uated from the University of Wisconsin in 1921 and from the University of North Dakota in 1923. Subsequently he did graduate work in the social sciences and literature at the Uni- versity of Illinois and elsewhere. In 1933 Mar- quette University conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Letters. As a student he took up the study of journalism and later engaged in the practice of journalism on newspapers and magazines. Director Murphy came to the University of Illinois as an assistant professor of journalism in 1924. Later he was made an associate professor and, in 1927 when the School of Journalism was given college stand- ing, he was placed at its head. In 1929 he was made Professor of Journalism and Director of the School of Journalism. The School of Journalism WLASSROOM study of journalism at the University of Illinois has been continuous since 1902, the year in which Dr. Frank W. Scott, Profes- sor Harry G. Paul, and the late Dean Thomas Arkle Clark were responsible for introduction of a two-hour course in editorial practices listed under the name of rhetoric and oratory. In the years that followed, alseries of courses and a pre-professional curriculum were developed. The profes- sional program was not developed, however, and the name School of Journalism was not used, until 1927 when college status was conferred upon the division of journalism in accordance with a law directing that a college of journalism be established at the University. In that year the Board of Trustees provided for the transfer of the Courses in Journalism from the department of English in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to an independent position as a self-governing administrative and educa- tional unit. Since that time the School has gone steadily forward, develop- ing its professional program and providing for the needs of a constantly growing body of students. Its graduating classes now number about 60 each year and plans are being made for a five-year program of study. The school now offers programs and courses of study leading toward general newspaper work in reporting, editing, advertising, and manage- ment, and toward critical writing and reviewing, political correspondence, financial journalism, editorial writing, trade and technical journalism, country journalism, magazine work, retail advertising, publicity, newspaper accounting, house organ work, feature writing, science journalism, agricultural journalism, home economics journalism, and teaching of journalism.

l i Page Q6 The Library and the Library School HE University Library, through the General Library and its branches, provides the books needed by students for required reading for class workg it provides books for much of the studentsi general reading. such as those in the Browsing Room, il provides books for graduate students, who in writing theses often must consult 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 bor- rows more than 500 books a year from libraries in other parts of the country. The librarians organize the more than 950,000 volumes into a usable library, and give much assistance to students and faculty. The Library School is a professional school for the training of libra- rians, 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. 1Jllil41l l'0Ii l'H1Nms L.
