William Allen White School
Journalism Looks To Future
The William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, newest school on the campus, is looking forward to new quarters in 1950, and an expanded curriculum. Plans for altering the present Fowler shops have been moving forward rapidly since the department of journalism was made a school this fall.
Burton W. Marvin, dean of the school, today released tentative plans for the building. The plans, now in the hands of the state architect, are the result of research and study by members of the department since 1941. The plans include:

6. Quarters for the Stenographic bureau.
The proposed expansion of curriculum includes courses in the fields of magazine writing and production, television, public relations, motion pictures, and radio as media for the communication of public information. Dean Marvin said.
The news and advertising sequences have already been accredited by the American Council on Education for Journalism.
Dean Marvin said that leading lecturers in the various fields of journalism will be brought to the school as provided by the William Allen White foundation. The board of regents approved establishment of the school and foundations in 1944, a few months after the death of the world-famed Kansas editor.

The foundation envisions publication of these lectures in pamphlet form, and publication of case textbooks in the belief that such textual material will make the study of journalism more realistic, the dean added.
The research and planning for the expanded facilities of the new school were begun in 1941 by L. N. Flint, professor emeritus of the department of journalism; Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, and T. C. Rythe, assistant professor of journalism, as early as 1941. Dean Marvin came to the University when the new school officially opened in August. He will have the task of completing the plans and administering both the William Allen White foundation and the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
