  The 1920s were years of prosperity
for the School, a vivid sign of the "Roaring Twenties" culture that swept the nation. The new Jay H. Neff Hall provided the growing student body with new press and classroom technology. Additionally, an extensive curriculum, a solid core of successful alumni and a world-renowned reputation highlighted the School's exit from an experimental stage into one of abundant growth and prominence.

  1920
The new Jay H. Neff Hall included its own printing press that enlarged the six-column, four-page Missourian to an eight-column, eight-page newspaper.



  1926
A stone lantern from Japan was one of many gifts presented to the School as it gained international prominence.
