INTRODUCTION The Journalism school scrapbooks (circa 1909-1913) contain images believed to have been taken by one of the student photographers for the University yearbook, the Savitar. In addition to showing everyday academic and student life, photos depict a tour of the state prison in Jefferson City, athletic events, fraternity hazing, the Farmers’ Fair, St. Patrick’s Day events and homecoming parades. Other areas covered include Christian College and Stephens College, including images of students at Lake Okoboji, Iowa. DONOR INFORMATION The collection was donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri by the University of Missouri School of Journalism on April 13, 1984 (accession #023647). HISTORICAL SKETCH The University of Missouri’s School of Journalism opened on September 14, 1908, led by it first dean, Walter Williams, who helped to found the program. The course of study, which became known as the “Missouri Method,” combined classroom instruction with hands-on experience through publication of the student- produced community newspaper, the University Missourian (later, the Columbia Missourian). In 1910, the school began celebrating Journalism Week and Kappa Tau Alpha, a journalism honor society, was established. SCOPE AND CONTENT The scrapbook, in two volumes, contains black and white photographs that are arranged chronologically. A small portion of loose photos found within the scrapbooks have been removed and are stored separately. The scrapbooks provide extensive visual documentation of the early days of the School of Journalism through the lens of one of its students, likely Siegel Mayer. A journalism student from King City, Missouri, Mayer attended the university from 1909-1913 and a number of the photographs in the scrapbooks are attributed to him.
