Friday, September 17, 1965 University Daily Kansan Page 3
Warren K. Agee, 48, has been named Dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information. Dean Agee will assume the position on Oct. 1 as successor to Burton W. Marvin, who resigned the post to develop a Mass Communications Center for the University of Tel Aviv, Israel.
Joining Dean Agee on the faculty is Marvin E. Arth, 35, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Arth will teach reporting and editing courses and serve as news adviser to the University Daily Kansan. He will teach in place of Prof. John DeMott, who is on leave to study toward a doctoral degree at Northwestern University.
Dean Agee has been professor of journalism and dean of the Evening College at Texas Christian University since 1962. He was a member of the Fort Worth Tex., Star-Telegram editorial staff from 1937 to 1948 and headed the TCU department of journalism for eight years. He left TCU to serve as dean of the West Virginia University School of Journalism and as national executive officer of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism society, before returning to TCU three years ago.
DEAN AGEE WILL also act as director of the William Allen White Foundation and serve as a member of the American Council on Education for Journalism (ACEJ), a group which supervises a program concerned with accreditation of collegiate journalism curriculums.
His appointment as White Foundation director is subject to formal action by the Foundation's board of trustees at the 1966 annual meeting in February. He was elected to the ACEJ at the August meeting of 1,000 members of the Association for Education in Journalism.
Aside from an extensive career
in journalism, Dean Agee is coauthor of a textbook, "Introduction to Mass Communications." The book is used in 175 colleges and has been translated into Japanese and Korean.
