I am pleased to have this opportunity to express my gratitude to the mem­ bers of the University of Missouri, to newspaper editors in all parts of the coun­ try, and to the many private individuals who have been responsible for the suc­ cess of the group project for foreign journalists described in this bulletin. Your cooperation is a concrete demonstration of the sincere desire of the American people to promote better understanding between ourselves and the people of other countries. Since this is the objective of our government's Inter­ national Educational Exchange Program, you have also shown our foreign guests a fine example of public-private partnership, a characteristically American way of working together on matters of common concern. To the newsmen from other lands who have taken part in this project we must now say a reluctant good-bye. We welcome the opportunity to have trained observers such as you visit with us and see our country at first hand. We feel sure that you have done much to help the Americans you have met to understand your countries. We hope that you will be able to bring similar understanding of our country to your many readers and friends at home. For we truly believe that in this interchange of views and personal acquaintance between people of different nations lies the best hope of finding peaceful solu­ tions to the many problems that beset the world today.

Russell Riley, Director INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE SERVICE B.S., B.A. '34 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI

John Foster Dulles SECRETARY OF STATE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Over the years the Missouri School of Journalism has had an active part in promoting understanding between nations, particularly in the field of mass communications. We were particularly happy to cooperate with the Department of State and the International Educational Exchange Service in this newest project, the train­ ing of ten foreign newspapermen. The organization in 1921 of the Press Congress of the World in Hawaii under Missouri's Dean Walter Williams, with later meetings in Switzerland in 1926 and Mexico in 1931, helped reveal the need and sincerity of many coun­ tries toward greater journalistic freedom, both inside and between nations. Since that time many students, particularly from the oriental nations and from South America, have come to the University of Missouri to study. Many now hold positions of responsibility in journalism and government in their re­ spective countries. This fine group of foreign newsmen has been here specifically to study newspaper principles and methods. But we know the benefits are far more im­ portant and far reaching. Earl F. English They have in five months' time studied in our classrooms, traveled in all DEAN, SCHOOLOFJOURNALISM areas of our country, worked as interns on newspapers, and visited our farms, UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI industries, and governmental agencies. They have seen our democracy at work on many different levels. They have made close friends in all parts of the country. In return they have taught us much about their respective homelands, their histories, their current problems, their hopes and plans for the future. We acknowledge, with appreciation, the help and cooperation and thought· A Tradition fulness of a host of individuals, in Columbia and at newspapers and in com­ munities where the trainees interned or stopped in their tours. Many industry officials, our alumni and other friendly people helped to make the project suc· of c;essful. We hope that our guests may profitably utilize what they have learned about their professions in this country, but principally we hope they will not International forget the friends they have made here. We extend to them, now and always, our best wishes. May their personal achievement and the continued advancement of their countries go hand in hand. Service

I believe in the profession of journalism. I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust. I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness, are fundamental to good journalism. - I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true. I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible. I believe that no· one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentlemen; that bribery by one's own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of an­ other; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another's instructions or an­ other's dividends. I believe that advertising, news, and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service. I believe that the journalism which succeeds best-and best deserves success-fears God and honors man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always un­ afraid; is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance, and, as far as law and honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely pro­ moting international good will and cementing world-comradeship; is a journalism of humanity, of and for today's world.
