Wil Stats estates, South Hall-The Home of the journalism School School of Tloumalism if WENTYfFOUR years ago last September, 25 students met in a room in Bascom Hall as the first class in journalism at the University. At the beginning of the present academic year, 612 students enrolled in 11 courses in journalism. Twentyffour years ago the one course in news writing was given in the English Departmentg now there is a School of journalism and a Department of journalism. When the University began its systematic training for journalism, it was a pioneer in this fieldg now there are some 25 well organized schools and departments of journalism in other universities, and instruction in journalism is being offered by over zoo colleges and universities. The growth of the School of journalism has made necessary the taking over cf the fourth floor of South Hall, formerly occupied by the State Hygienic Laboratory, so that now the third and fourth floors of that building are being used for instrucf tion in journalism. The new quarters on the fourth floor include a large lecture room seating loo, two class rooms seating so each, a seminary room, a periodical room, and an ofhce. The remodeled third floor now consists of the Printing Laboratory, the journalism Reading Room, the journalism Laboratory, and six oliices for members of the staff. This year 360 students have registered in the freshman and sophomore pref journalism curriculum, and in the School of journalism. This is the largest number enrolled in any school or department of journalism in the country, WILLARD G. BLEYBR 1 . Director Historic North Hall N Page 35' N

MARL Dean 'i-ui The Home Economics Building Tlfome Tconomics School -1 ODAY the home is the one field that needs to be doubly safeguarded- not necessarily along old lines but developed to meet the changing eco' nomic and social conditions of today. A Home Economics, the general term that covers the study of all the problems connected with the home and family, offers a group of studies in human activities in which the subject matter is not strictly limited. The helds open to home economics graduates are increasingly important. Each year brings additions to the lists of professions in which the home economics graduate is successful. While the teaching field is always an excellent one, the research held, the extension field, and the commercial field are increasing in their demands rapidly. While personality and aptitude are a tremendous asset in all of these lines of endeavor, the field is so wide that each individual can find her ,special niche and do her part imimproving the health of today and building for the betterment of the generations to come. - ' The best part of home economics education is that whenever the graduate is ready to give up her outside professional work to establish a home, she has the general background which will make it easier for her to meet the varying problems of today and keep on in part with her outside professional work, a right demanded by the intelligent woman today. fm Aim X , 1 ..4q Henry ,Quadrangle 'V Page 34 N

RICHARDS Dean The Low School ' aw School ANY students entering professional schools fail to realize that they have come to a critical turning point in their education, and that they are no longer undergraduates. The law student is in process of preparing himself to be a competent adviser of his fellowfcitizens in matters affecting their lives, their happiness and their property, and to take his place as a wise leader in the life of his community. Unless he has schooled himself in the learning of his subject, and trained his mind to discriminate between the essential and non' essentials of factual and legal situations, he will give a poor return for his client's confidence, and'be false to the professions of legal qualifications. ln the Law School the student spends three years in studying the whole field of the law in a systematic way. If he is diligent and attentive, he will grasp in this period the meaning of legal principles, their scope and limitations, but above all, he will acquire a mind sharpened to discriminate, an intellectual power, which will determine his future as a lawyer. He will find when he has finished school with a worthy record, that his services will be sought in important ofhces, but if he has been content just to uget by, he will find that he is turned away from office doors where opportunity waits for his industrious classmate. The Law School offers opportunity for preparation for a great and useful profession, but advises its applicants for admission to recognize that admission means the end of aimless drifting and superficial study, if they would realize their ambition.
