i f ki SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM OFFICERS Fielding Norton President Joseph Marston .... Vice-President Thelma Martin .... Secretary-Treasurer THE School of Journalism, oldest and largest in the world, is the embodiment of the Twentieth Century spirit of intellectual and professional advancement. Built, not as a shortcut to success in Journalism, but rather as an instrument for humanizing and widening the knowledge and viewpoint of its students, the School of Journalism has realized its aim in the thousands of graduates who now hold responsible positions on newspapers throughout the United States and the world. Both its enrollment and its prestige have grown steadily since its founding in 1908 by Walter Williams, now President of the University. Its sound and fundamental teachings cannot be better illustrated than by means of its laboratory work, which includes the publication of the Columbia Missourian, a modern daily newspaper of standard size; its weekly supplement, the Missourian Magazine; and three country weeklies. Thus students are offered a wide range of study in preparation for entering Journalism. A variety of professional background courses offers the student instruction in the three major newspaper fields — news, advertising, and business administration. The School of Journalism firmly supports any and all efforts to elevate and strengthen the profession and also acknowledges important contributions to Journalism through its annual awards for distinguished service in Journalism. By means of its annual Journalism Week, which has become famous throughout the newspaper world, and which is the signal for the gathering of hundreds of graduates and members of the profession, the School serves to unify and publish to the world of newspaper men and women the thoughts and aspirations of the profession ' s leaders.

' I f .jg rjTj gi h p £2«e =ss: Dean Tisdel Jesse Hall at night COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE THE College of Arts and Science has three clearly defined purposes: (i) It teaches the basic subjects required for admission to the professional schools of Law, Medicine, Education, Journalism, and Business and Public Administration. (2) It prepares for graduate work in the various fields of research and for advanced pro- fessional work, such students as wish ultimately to become trained investigators, or to teach their specialties in colleges and universities, or to pursue the highest type of professional study. The undergraduate is not required in the College to choose any graduate, technical, or profes- sional courses, or to undertake detailed graduate problems of research, but he is expected to pur- sue a sequence of closely correlated studies leading to such an exact and comprehensive knowledge of a limited field, scientific, humanistic, or social, as will test and develop his power of protracted thinking and prepare him for professional study or original research. (3) It ofi ' ers to students who have the requisite ability and energy such a liberal education in the arts and sciences as will give them an intelligent familiarity with modern civilization, fit them for high service in the world, jKflflfl nd give them resources of the natural sciences, literary and F ' ' k philosophical studies, and the social sciences; it aims at liberty H of thought, breadth of view, and the training of the civic spirit. 15 I Bi P Dean Frederick M.

I h jp « 2£:s:s= Dean Parks Lee H. Tate Hall SCHOOL OF LAW THE primary purpose of the Law School is to equip men and women for the practice of the law. The demand for finely trained, competent, and ethical lawyers is great. The School does not seek merely a large number of students, and its entrance requirements and scholastic standards are such as to attract to the student body only those whose maturity, education, ability, and character fit them for serious study. However, graduates of the School are to be found in all parts of the state, and there are included in their ranks leaders In the profession and in public life. The School is a charter member of the Association of American Law Schools, an organiza- tion composed of the leading law schools of the United States and Canada, whose purpose is to further the cause of legal education and promote better legal scholarship. The School has always been given the highest classification by the Council on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. It is the only school in the state outside of the city of St. Louis that is endorsed by the Association. In addition to the everyday work of preparing students for the legal profession, the Faculty of Law is engaged in various research projects. The results of these investigations are made available in published form in the Law Series of the University of Missouri Bulletin, a quarterly. Some members of the faculty also engage in conducting investigation of various legal topics for the Missouri Bulletin, a quarterly. J. L. Parks.
