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.
