Journalism Class Visits William Allen White Sites
William Allen White became more than a character in a book to 16 students from the History of American Journalism class and their instructor, Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism, who visited Emporia Tuesday.
The man for whom the University's School of Journalism was named in 1944 attended the University from 1886 to 1889. In 1895, after working for The El Dorado Republican, The Kansas City Journal and The Kansas City Star, Mr. White bought the Emporia Gazette.
The visiting group toured the Gazette facilities and, in the editor's office, talked with Mr. White's son, W. L. White, the present owner and editor of the Gazette.
Calls Office "Grubby"
Mr. W. L. White called the small office with its high ceiling, unpainted walls, and one window "grubby." He said plans were being made to change the office without taking away its museum-like qualities.
William Allen White's roll-top desk with drawers which stuck was in one corner of the office. Only a
dictaphone and a telephone for the present editor indicated the year was 1956.
On all walls of the office were photographs and cartoons with personal notes to the former editor. Mr. W. L. White pointed to photographs of most of the presidents since Grover Cleveland.
A cartoon depicted the former editor's fight against the Ku Klux Klan. His son said the cartoon was drawn by Rollin Kirby for The New York Herald when his father, as a candidate for governor, was "supposed to be chasing the Klan out of Kansas."
Visit White Home
The group also toured the William Allen White Library at the Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, and visited the White family home.
The living room, with a large fireplace, was furnished with dark heavy pieces. In one corner was a buffet with glassware from a Russian imperial collection, which Mrs. W. L. White said was "just for shine" in the
Another group from the History of American Journalism class will go to Emporia on Wednesday, Nov. 28.
