FLINT HISTORY Well Known and Well Loved 'A Leading Light'
Prof. Leon Nelson Flint, who yesterday announced his resignation as chairman of the department of journalism, has for many years been one of the leading lights in the field of journalism and teaching, Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, said today.
In the Graduate Magazine of June, 1937, the following paragraph appeared: "Professor Leon Nelson Flint is to Kansas Journalism what Walter Williams was to Missouri, and what Willard Grosvenor Bleyer meant to Wisconsin. He is known and beloved by every Kansas editor and he holds the respect and admiration of teachers of journalism throughout the United States." Of the aforementioned pioneer educators in journalism, professor Flint is the only one still living.
Students "conspired" against him when in 1937 he was the speaker at the annual Alumni meeting at Commencement. Two of his former students in New York City set out to get contributions for a gift for him, and to carry greetings to him from a number of his former students.
By stealing his files they acquired data for the presentation speech, and the project was carried out successfully, but all unknown to the recipient. He was presented with a watch, a radio, and a bound volume of greetings.
Professor Flint was born in Thayer, Kansas, on Oct. 8, 1875, and educated at Lawrence High School and the University, where he was graduated in 1897. At that time Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the English department was conducting courses in newspaper writing. These courses proved so popular and valuable that by 1906 the University drafted Flint from his position as alumni secretary, to become a lecturer in journalism. In
1916 his continued interest and enthusiasm were rewarded when he was made chairman of the department of journalism.
In that position he has had a hand in shaping the careers of more than a thousand young men and women who have passed through his classes, and many of these students have risen to places of prominence in the field of journalism.
He has written several text books that have proven valuable to students and teachers of journalism in high schools and colleges. Although published in the twenties, his texts are still widely used in schools.
He has had a hand in the organization of several roundtables and discussion groups for editors of Kansas. In 1927 he served as president of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism, and was later elected president of the Alumni Association.
R.O.T.C. Building Work Progresses
Workmen have begun digging the pier holes for the Military Science building, George W. Algire, superintendent of construction, reported today.
A total of 56 of these foundation holes will be sunk to the bedrock and then filled with concrete and steel. The depth of the holes will vary from 6 to 32 feet and average about 16 feet. Algrei said the work would take about six weeks.
Stone cutting is continuing and about one-third of the old Snow hall stone has been shaped and trimmed. Excavation at the quarry southwest of Lawrence has been proceeding satisfactorily, and only a skeleton crew is employed now.
CBS To Carry Palmer Concerto
National honors have come to Robert Palmer, instructor of piano, whose "Concerto for Small Orchestra" will be given over the Columbia Broadcasting system from New York City at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Palmer came to the School of Fine Arts in 1940 as teacher of theory and piano. He is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music. His study in composition has been done under Dr. Howard Hanson and Bernard Rogers, and he has studied privately under Roy Harris and Aaron Copeland.
The concerto will be presented as a commission award to Palmer from the Columbia Broadcasting system.
Elect McCarty Sour Owl Manager
Bob McCarty, college sophomore, was chosen yesterday at a meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, men's honorary journalism fraternity, as the new business manager of the Sour Owl. Applicants were heard for both business manager and editor of the magazine. No editor was chosen.
Graduation--Then Garters
Plan Business Day
The first thing a young man has to do when he gets out of school is to buy a hat and a pair of garters, says F. T. Stockton, lean of the School of Business. $ \textcircled{*} $
In accordance with its policy of doing everything to prepare the student for his career in business, the School makes it possible, in fact necessary, for each business senior to wear a gaily decorated straw hat. The garters are his own responsibility.
It's all part of the annual Business School Dav.
On May 7 the students in the School of Business will be addressed by prominent graduates, some of whom are Charles Newell, director of the Kansas Unemployment Compensation division; Ed Dennis, of radio station WHB; and Arthur Cromb, of Standard Steel company. They will speak primarily to marketing and finance classes.
In the afternoon the traditional softball game between junior and senior teams will be played. A faculty team captained by Jerome Kesselman, instructor of economics, is scheduled to play the winner.
The annual School of Business dinner will climax the day's activities. Toastmaster for the occasion will be R. S. Howey, assistant professor of economics, and the list of speakers will be headed by Homer B. Fink, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Fe offices in Topeka.
H. B. Chubb, associate professor of political science, returned Monday night from Washington, where he had been invited by the Carnegie Endowment association to attend the seventh conference of teachers of international law and related subjects.
Chubb Returns From International Law Conference
International law seems to have been suspended for the time being, so discussions this year were on international relations, and politics, Chubb said. He also attended the thirty-fifth annual meeting of the American Society of International Law.
Commerce Party Announces Slate For Election
Candidates for offices in the School of Business on the Commerce ticket have been announced. They are: for president, Eldon Beebe; for vice president, Chain Healy; for secretary, Mary Ewers; and for treasurer, Roy Edwards.
