Wife of Founding Dean Died
|
Sara Lockwood Williams, widow of founding dean Walter Williams, died of cancer at age 72. After graduating from the School in 1913, she was the first female reporter for the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette. She later worked at the Tulsa (Okla.) Times and Democrat and the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger before returning to the School as an assistant professor. She was one of the first women to hold a journalism professorship.
