|
|
On Sept. 14, the world's first school of journalism began lectures in Academic Hall at 8 a.m., followed by practical work on the University Missourian by 10 a.m. The Missourian, a novel community newspaper serving as a working lab for students, was published by the end of the day. More than 60 students enrolled in the School, including six women and two Chinese students.

Practical experience in news and advertising was taught by early professors Frank L. Martin (top); J.E. Chasnoff (center); and Charles Ross (bottom). Students and faculty editors produced the first issue of the University Missourian on Sept. 14, 1908 (bottom right).
