i THE r A T Ti Y NEBR ASKAN SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM ORGANIZED BY REGENTS Prof. M. M. Fogg Is Director of New Department Four teen Courses Offered. Although organized formally by the Board of Regents on the 22nd of last May, the new School of Jour nalism at the University of Ne braska will, in fact, begin its career with the first class of this semester. Director M. M. Fogg, professor of English and chairman of the Uni versity Publication Board, has been charged with the direction of the ac tivities of the school. The inauguration of the School of Journalism brings to the University of Nebraska a co-ordination of activ ities in the field of journalism here tofore lacking; under the new re gime fourteen courses in journalism for a total of thirty hours' credit ap plies toward the Certificate of Jour nalism with the degree of Bachelor of Apts. Eighty-two elective courses in related departments are suggested as particularly pertinent to journalistic study, by the first bulletin of the School which ap peared Friday. The larger recognition of the jour nalistic field at the University of Nebraska comes in response to the activities of the Nebraska Press As sociation, tending toward a higher rating for the profession of journal ism. Now, with the revision of the four-year course so as to permit spe cialization, practical training for work in the Nebraska journalistic field will be given a great impetus. The enlarged facilities of the Uni versity printing plant, together with opportunities for the students of journalism to enter actual newspa per work on the campus publications, combine to furnish .tbe School of Journalism with excellent laboratory advantages. It is planned to make The Daily Nebraskan an experimen tal and training publication for the benefit of journalistic students. Professor Fogg, the first director of the School of Journalism, began his work at the University of Ne braska in 1901, after receiving de grees from Brown and Harvard uni versities. He has taught courses in journalism at the university since 1915. As a staff member of the Asbury Park, N. J., Daily Press, spe cial correspondent of the Associated Press and the United Press, and for various metropolitan newspapers, and manager of the University News Bureau, Professor Fogg learned Ahe practical side of journalistic work. The highest recognition nationally of Professor Fogg's success in the news paper profession came with his ap pointment by the army educational commission, Professor John Erskine of Columbia university, chairman, as director of the College of Journal ism of the American Expeditionary Forces' in France, in 1919. In ap preciation of his services in that ca pacity, the French government con ferred upon Professor Fogg the Palmes Academique, carrying offi cership in the French Academy. The faculty is composed addition ally of Chancellor Avery, Dean P. M. Buck, Prof. Roy E. Cochran (American History), Prof. R. F. Crawford (Agricultural Journalism), Prof. S. B. Gass (English), Prof. E. L. Hinman (Philosophy), Prof. J. E. Lawrence (Journalism), Dean War ren A. Seavey (Law), Prof. J. P. Senning (Political Science), and Prof. G. 0. Virtue (Economics and Public Finance). The correlation of the activities of the 185 students from two colleges in the several phases of journalistic work at the university and fifty-eie-ht students registered in the four-year curriculum for the certifi cate in journalism has necessitated an enlargement of the space ar rangements. Accordingly U-lll has been converted into a reading room for the convenience of the students f inurnnlism: contemporary exam pies of the leading? metropolitan journals will be placed at the dis posal of the students there. In ad dition, this room will be used for conferences between the members of Director Fogg's critical staff and the students enrolled in the various jour nalistic courses. Collected stories, representing the several fields of Journalistic thought, will be filed in this room subject to special class reference work. The classification of this material has been proceeding all through the past summer at the hands of Director FoFgg's assistants, and under his close supervision. The former lone classroom of journalism, U-106, will be continued as an accomodation for the members of the advanced courses. Magazine and newspaper racks are to be placed here for the use of students. With the assembling, of new study tables and other equipment, the en largement of facilities, and the re organization of the various journal istic interests into a promising School of Journalism, the newspaper profession at the University of Ne braska enters upon a new era.
