Colleagues Send Congratulations
Letters Praise Flint's Work
. . . Journalism will be indebted to you always for your splendid accomplishments at the University of Kansas. Your work has been on such a high plane that I can sincerely say that all teachers, as well as practicing journalists, take a distinct pride in being able to honor you on this occasion.
J. L. O'Sullivan,
President, A.A.D.J.
Marquette University.
. . . I suppose that you and I and Grant Hyde are about all that are left of the first crop. I will never be able to believe that second growth timber has all the qualities of the sturdy old thick barked stuff . . . To me at least there is no element of sadness in sending you congratulations on this grand occasion . . . it would be fine to reach the point where one could decide freely what he would work on and where and how much.
Eric W. Allen,
University of Oregon.
... It should be a matter of considerable satisfaction to you to realize the value of your textbooks to young journalists and to the profession of journalism, and to realize the affection in which you are held by so many of your graduates and fellow teachers of journalism.
Chilton R. Bush, Stanford University.
. . It does not seem possible that it is 35 years since you began teaching journalism . . . if I am not mistaken, we have been exchanging notes on our evil practices since 1912. Many times during these years have I waited toad out L. N.'s opinion before knowing the most sensible point of view on a journalistic problem.
Grant M. Hyde,
University of Wisconsin.
. . Your work is present in some way or other in every newspaper in the state of Kansas. . . The fine work you have done at Lawrence has been an inspiration to other directors and faculty members in schools and departments of journalism, and those of us now in the field of teaching wish to express our gratefulness to you for your leadership in the past.
Ralph D. Casey,
University of Minnesota,
As long as I have known anything about schools of journalism, your name has been "tops." You were one of the pioneers, one of that small group which included Williams, Bleyer, Cunliffe, Hooper and Allen who had the vision and the courage to develop this new idea of education for journalism which we yanger men are now trying to carry on.
Kenneth E. Olson, Northwestern University.
... When one thinks of education for journalism there are a few names which immediately come to mind ... yours is one of the first of such names. Your services, with
those of Dean Williams, Dr. Bleyer, and Dean Cunliffe have always seemed to me to be the most valuable contributions to the pioneer work in the field which engages the interest of all of us.
Frank Luther Mott, University of Iowa.
... you can feel that you are but turning to a well deserved rest and reward for years of effort. Your counsel still will be sought, so in a sense you will remain with us, but you will be relieved of the daily routine.
John E. Stempel, Indiana University.
. . For years, you have not only pesonified the teaching of journalism at the University of Kansas but you have been among the national leaders in this field.
James E. Pollard, Ohio State University.
You have been a pioneer in what has come to be known as the most recent form of professional education. Through the excellence of your work at the University of Kansas, and through your contributions to other schools in connection with our National Association, you have, in large measure, contributed to the end that education for journalism is accepted generally as not only essential, but necessary.
Frank L. Martin, University of Missouri.
. . . Perhaps when one has taught journalism for 35 years he has had all the satisfaction possible which comes from services to youth and the making of a very real contribution to the cause of worthy journalism both in his own state and his nation, and so a message of congratulation may seem superfluous.
George Starr Lasher, Ohio University.
. Your name has been honored for many years, not only as the head of a first-rate department of journalism, but as the author of some of the best and most useful books about journalism . . . If the schools and departments of journalism can do as well during the next 35 years as you and your cohorts have done in the last three decades or so, we hsall use the millennium brought in on a tide of printers' ink.
Robert W. Desmond,
University of California.
. . I came to you for assistance on the eve of my teaching career . . . It is that basis on which rests my real appreciation for this opportunity to salute you on the eve of your retirement . . . I hope that the years before you will constitute the crowning glory of a life well spent.
Paul J. Thompson, University of Texas.
... May I congrateulate you on your 35 years of successful teaching? What has made it so successful is your devotion to duty, your background of experience and your scholarly poise and detachment.
University of Pennsylvania
Reese James.
... May I extend to you not only my greetings on this occasion, but my congratulations to you on the splendid contributions you have made to the field of journalism teaching and on the
many achievements which have been yours in that field?
E. L. Callihan,
Drake University.
. . . You have for these many years been an outstanding leader
whose graduates are now carrying your splendid philosophy and idealism to various parts of the nation.
William Taylor, Kent State University.
