Missouri Journalism Centennial Timeline Presents the 1930s
The Great Depression raged throughout the country, and as a result, the School suffered budget reductions, faculty losses and poor graduate job placement. Walter Williams, named University president in 1930, served both the School and the campus until his death in 1935. However, he lived long enough to celebrate the School's 25th anniversary, and he left behind the legacy of the Missouri Honor Medal. [View Timeline]

Centennial Biography:
Dean Frank L. Martin
Founding Dean Walter Williams may have been the outward face of the Missouri School of Journalism, but many consider Frank Lee Martin to be the man who kept it running. When Williams was chosen to the University of Missouri presidency in 1930, Martin was named associate dean and handled the day-to-day duties of the dean's office. He was officially named dean upon Williams' death in the summer of 1935. [More]
