Department of Journalism Like Topsy—"It Just Grewd"
HOW DID IT GET HERE? WHAT THE SHOPS OFFER
Long, long ago someone conceived the idea of having a department of journalism at K. U. That it was a worthy project is acknowledged by all concerned, but one and all refuse the honor of sponsoring it. The librarian says that Prof. E. M. Hopkinson fathers the thought. Professors who set the idea affront on the Hill and that Chancellor Strong helped it sprout. But Dean Blackmar smiles and says, "There was once a man named Canfield on the campus, and he did it."
When the question was put to him, the Dean leaned back in his chair and said, "I came here in 1889. That was my first job." He started a newspaper clipping bureau.
"I intended to use the clippings to supplement my work in history and sociology. Professor Canfield at once saw the possibilities of a school of journalism; and it was he who dreamed dreams and saw visions in that early day of a training school for newspaper men. The students read books, took trips and puns at it, but little did stop being faced, jolly Canfield cared—There's a picture of him in the Chancellor's office, have you seen it?"
School Was Started in 1890 "the introduction of course journalism and an emphasis on history and sociology department. I suppose our attempt was rather vague, its merit lay not in what was known in the fact that it was a beginning."
School Was Started in 1890
Professor Hopkins of the department on English when questioned on the matter, differed a little in his statement. "The suggestion for such courses was Blackmar years ago," he said. "Dean Blackmar wanted to use to offer courses correlative with journalistic work. I gave English 10 at his sug-ience." After a year or so the matter was dropped, but the idea persisted.
"About the time of the founding of the Pulitzer school of journalism, Chancellor Strong asked if we were going to give it a kind here. I accepted the Chancellor's invitation because I believed in the feasibility of the plan, and because—well, you know the University is disgrace to the English department.
Had No Equipment or Money
“Of course little could be done, we had no money, no teaching force, no equipment, but we went to work and offered a course. It consisted of theoretical aspects of materials, news and editors; journalism of course camp under the rhetoric classification.
Mr. C. M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Daily Reflector, was made director, and Prof. L. N. Flint became resident instructor of the department in 1905. The department was organized as it now is in 1908 when Prof. Merle Thorpe became the head."
When asked his reasons for wanting to journalism Chancellor Strong said, *I am a good journalist*.
"Journalism was established here because it demanded a place for itself. When an occupation becomes a profession it is my opinion that it should appear in the curriculum of a college or university, changing from an exploited occupation to a social service profession and as such, demanded recognition.
Expects a Great Future
"Of course fun was poked at the department that was to be expected. People had to any innovation; in fact the work of a department like journalism is to educate the people to a better appreciation of good newspapers. The desire for young height and has a useful future before it."
A decided slant in departmental views might be seen in the early classification of journalism. Dean Blackmar the sociologist, cataloged it in 1899 under history and sociology. In 1903 Professor Hopkins classed with the rhetoric and Engagement class as an independent department, the first two years are composed of a little of everything offered in the University, as a background for the specialized work of the upperclassman.
The department of journalism is installing two new linotype machines valued at $7000. They are being loaned to the department by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company for demonstration purposes.
A small boy was a visitor at the Kansas-Nebraska game at Lawrence. The next morning when he attended his Sunday-school class he found they were choosing sides for teams to see which side would have their best chance of winning. Of the boys enthusiastically shouted: "Will we win?" To which the young aspirant for cheer leader responded: "___ yes."
Students Find Special Attraction in the Lawrence Stores
Stores
The University Daily Kansan proposes to publish the news of the university, and that of the campus. Space in this column is not for sale at any price because it contains students and no attention is paid to them or their needs, nor not. Students who find special bargains at Lawrence stores are asked to send in such items. Editor.
King Fashion has become liberal this fall and permits the suit to be either single or double breasted. You can choose color for that, that you can follow you inclination. Soft, rich brown, smart greens, the stapler blues, or the undecided stripes and cheeks; or be toad and shirtless. The purpleies are not to be scaffold at.
The coats are tight fitting with a high cut waist line in the back and full chest in front. The lapels of the coat are not as wide and have a soft roll and are a trifle rounded or peaked. Some of the new models have a top. Some of the new models have a wide lapel, but it is made shorter and its edges are rounded.
The trousers are made straight and narrow and are still tight, fitting closely with the vest. The T-shirt of both sides of the sleeves is patented reversible waveland on the trousers. These by simply turning can be used as a belt.
REVOLUTION IN OVERCOATS
REVOLUTION IN OVERCOATS
A decided revolution has taken place in overcoat styles. The new coat fits tight and is not loose like the balmacnan of last year. These coats may be either double or single jacket, coloring inmates colors blue, brown and the white of green. Soft materials are used in the making of these new style coats and another addition over last year is the velvet collar which has broken into prominence again this season.
Either patch or flap pockets are permissible. A new idea carried out in some of these coats is the cutting slashes in the pockets so that the wearer can get into his trousers's pocket without opening his coat.
Who sheil say, what the shirt material shall be? 'Silk if you like; but madras and percale are equally popular. Light grounds, with as much snap in the stripes as you will stand four feet tall' starched or daring collar. The scarf ought to be a four-in-hand, with generous flowing ends, or a self tied bow. Fashion wants you to be gray in your neckwear; but so little shows you that you're wearing clothes you won't object, no matter how conservative your taste.
Go as you please in gloves — chamois, with black stitching or tan cape outseams. The shoes, gunmetal, on the daisy-shaped of tan leather, straight lace up, button, with a preference for the low comfortable English laces.
There is nothing in which a man feels he is exercising his personal preference more than in the selection of clothes. What do you think Johnson and Carl's, Ober's Peckham's and the rest of the fashion regime of Lawrence think about it. So they have all stocked up with new fall and winter goods that are not only fashionable but the latest styles and cuts but a wide range from which to select.
A servicable item that can be bought at the University - Book Store for 10 cents is the Blaisdale eraser. It is shaped like a pencil. Instead of the lead it has fibers of spun glass that protrude. When the lead falls down to the surface it can be sharpened in the same manner as the paper pencils. The erasure is especially good as a type-writer eraser.
The public doesn't like to have morals crammed down its throat but they are willing to swallow it when cleverly coated. The "Knights and Ladies Of Security" attract the attention of those in a window display in which the death of the uninsured man is contrasted with that of the insured.
J. R. Wilson, believing in the psychology of advertising, has brightened up the north window of the drug store with two large pepper plants. The leaves are deep green in color and the bright red berries stand out against the purple flowers to them. The plant attracts the notice of the average passer by, and those who stop to look at them incidentally see the window display.
The "add a pearl" necklace sold by Gustafson is rather a novel and new jewelry bad. As the name suggests, the idea of the "add a pearl" feature is similar to the sentiment expressed in the friendship bracelet.
Students who have occasion to use padlocks to keep their belongings safe from unscrupulous neighbors are showing interest in a new line of devices that allow them the display at Ecke's. The advantage of these locks is that they do not
compel the owner to carry around a key for each lock, with the attending danger of loss and inconvenience of not having the key to the lock when it is wanted. The combination is also a protection against anyone's getting into things not intended for him, by the use of a skeleton key.
A varied display of hammered beads are shown in the window of Soli.
Students who are looking for something novel to decorate their room may find it in the window of the Indian Book Store on Massachusetts street. Examples of quintet Indian pottery are on display at cost prices and there is a large and varied assortment.
The newest thing in inexpensive leather note books is on display at Allie Carroll's news stand. The note books are made of good quality leather, and are lined with heavy paper.
Attractive silk stockings in a new polka dot design are to be had at the linen's store at $1.50 a pair. At another counter dainty linen handkerchiefs with pretty colored borders are offered at 25 cents the half dozen,
A new notebook called the "Auto-copy" has made its appearance in
Carter's Book Store. It is made up in either limp or heavy card board covers and holds paper of any size without the necessity of punching holes in it. The paper is held in place by a steel spring which is released by pulling the ends of the book.
There is an assortment of doll things at Weaver's on Massachusetts street that would 'make glad the girl of the little sister of a K. U. man or woman.
The snugest fitting sweaters are there for 10 cents each, with caps to match at the same price. Doll comforters, soft and fluffy and pink, can be had for 15 cents, and we bootes at 10 cents a pair are shown.
