oi the Journalism
Builc'u:-.;t'Klay has been made possible because of the foresight and efforts of Prof. Enoch Grehan, first
head of the Department of Journal-

Dr. Niel Plummer, director of the
School of Journalism, led the way
for construction of the new Jour-

ism.

Prof. Grehan perhaps could not
have foreseen the erection of a Journalism Building, but it was through
his organization and financial aid
that the Kernel Press was begun in
192. profits from the Kernel Press
vhich he started with one linotype
machine made this new building a
realization without directly costing
the taxpayers of Kentucky a cent.
'Uncle Enoch" came to the University in 1914 to become the first
head of the department, and he remained until his death in 1937. Students and fellow instructors alike
will always remember the famed
proiessor for his guidance and
which left lifelong impres-bion- s
on those who knew him.
A graduate of Transylvania
in
1894. Prof. Grehan, often called the
"dean of Kentucky newspapermen,"
served as news editor of the Lexington Leader and managing editor of
the Lexington Herald for a combined
period of 20 years before he was
made head of the Journalism Department.
Was Herald

Paragraphrr

Throuch his 23 years with the
University, Prof. Grehan was closely
associated with activities in the profession of journalism. His "Paragraphs" on the editorial page of the
Lexington Herald, which he contributed for many years, were typical of
the spirit that possessed "Uncle
Enoch." Always full of human interest and wit, they were popular
with both young and old.
He was the author of over 50.000
editorials and editorial paragraphs
which were written for Lexington
papers, many of which were reprinted by metropolitan newspapers.
In addition, Prof. Grehan was the

drama critic of the Herald for 25
years, and wrote more than 2,000
theater, music, and opera reviews
during that time.
Careful financing and management of the Kernel Press by "Uncle
Enoch" during its early years was a
major factor in the development of
the present plant.
Until 1924, the Kernel was printed
at a local commercial printing plant.
In that year. Prof. Grehan advocated the purchase of a printing plant
for the Kernel.
Stood Good For Loan
The first piece of machinery for
the new plant was a linotype, which
was purchased on a loan guaranteed
by Grehan himself. Twenty-fiv- e
journalism students pledged their
efforts to helo him make the printing plant a reality.

A two-pathe next year, again with the financial aid of Prof. Grehan, and the
first Kernel was printed on the
University campus in the fall of
19''5. In the following years, the
plant grew and became
and eventually became a
g
proposition.

nalism Building upon foundations
laid by his predecessor. Prof. Enoch
Grehan.
The present director came to the directorship of the University's School
of Journalism by way of Kentucky's
own classrooms in journalism, the
University of Wisconsin and the
newsroom of the Lexington Herald.
Under his leadership the journalism curriculum has been revised, the
department has grown into a school
and a new Journalism Building
constructed.
Student I'nder Grehan
One of "Uncle" Enoch Grehan's
own boys and a former managing
editor of The Kernel, he was no
stranger to Kentucky's Journalistic
dream when suddenly the task of
carrying on the direction of training for journalism at the University
was handed to him as Prof. Grehan
lay down his burdens in late 1937.
Today's dedication of the new
$425,000 Journalism
building, the
throbbing activities of the $200,000
Kernel Press and the throng of active, thriving and loyal sons and
daughters of Kentucky journalism
working on publications and in radio over the nation are testimony
that the dream was entrusted to
competent hands.
Sharing Prof. Grehan's conviction
that journalism had a great future
at the University, Dr. Plummer has
guided the School of Journalism
since 1937 to a national ranking
among the largest and most respected schools in the nation. '

sound grounding of all journalism

President Donovan
Congratulates School
I am indeed happy to have the opportunity of congratulating the
faculty members, students and graduates of the School of Journalism
upon this realization of one of their fondest dreams
the
Building.
completion of their new Journalism-Publication- s
It is a magnificent structure, one of which all Kentui kians can be
proud. What should make it all the more a source of pride is the fact
that the building was made possible through the efforts of hundreds of
students, their teachers and advisors, and without any state aid. It can
truly be said that this building, the home of the nation's newest School
of Journalism, is a monument to hard work.
Through the years the Department of Journalism, under the
of Prof.' Enoch Grehan and Dr. Niel Hummer, has become
widely known for the quality of its instruction, a fact that long since
lias been clearly proved by the success and high professional reputation of its graduates. I am confident that our future generations of students, as well as those of you presently enrolled, will rarry on in that
same tradition.
Once again, my sincere congratulations to students, alumni, faculty
and all others who have had a hand in making this building a reality.
The I'niversily and the entire St;ilc of Kentucky are grateful.

PreRS Infinetiees t nclerstanding

There is an element of truth in the
statement that life does not make
newspapers but new s inners make
life. The element cf truth is in the
fact thai man perceives much of
what is going on around him because
of the r.ews accounts that he has
read and perceives them according
to the newspaper stories.
This point may be illustrated. Ask
most any individual on the campus
how the numerals on the Memorial
Hall dock appear. Nearly all know
the hours are indicated by Roman numerals; but practically everyone insists that '"four" is indicated by "IV"
rather than Jin." Thev perceive

Roman numerals are used and Roman four is 'TV" not Till." Man
sees the vorld in part as he is, not
as it is. One of the desirable values
cf our culture is the belief in the
dignity of man, the belief in man as
an end not as a means to an end.

man is a vital one in our way of life.
The School of Journalism will make
:t possible for the Btudent to understand the significance of such values.
The student will learn, if he hasn't
learned before admission, to respect
the human personality. Too often
in the present day emphasis on material 'alues. we have overlooked
ideational values. The artist, the
writer, the lecturer or the playwright who emphasizes material
values strives to entertain, to amuse,
or to give pleasure, or to promote
the author's or reader's "success."
The School of Journalism will be
able to hold and to promote the humane values.
Must Distinguish Truth
The Lynds in their book "Middle-tow- n
in Transition," quote a minister as saying, Tn the old days people
went to preachers for consolation,
information and inspiration. They
still come to us for consolation, but
go to newspapers for information
and inspiration." This means not
only that the student of journalism
must acquire such humane values
as, respect for the human personality, social responsibility, rigorous
and a belief in the
greatest good for the greatest number, but he must also learn to distinguish between information and
misinformation, between the significant and the insignificant. This is
the second reason that the College

mane value. If the School of Journalism is successful in maintaining
a proper balance between these two
value svstenis. the material and the
ideal, its graduates in their profes- sional lhes will be of inestimable
value to the people of Kentucky and
the United States. Future students
when they enter the University will
be able to po further in their education than present day students because they will enter as freshmen on
a higher level.
There is still a third reason for
our cordial welcome to the new
school. Through its work the student will be able to earn a living:
but the work is not "vocationalized."
The liberal arts tradition distinguishes sharply between training an
individual to follow a set of formu- laes, a series of movements on' one
hand, and permitting an individual
to learn the principles upon which
the formulaes and movements are
based. Let the methods of printing
newspapers, gathering news, and
communicating news be changed.
graduates from this School of Jour- nalism will still be journalists able
to practice their profession. This is
education in the best liberal arts
tradition.
libera! Arts Heritage Of Journalism
Germany began emphasizing before the First World War technical
training separated from all the humanities. Hitler's Germany became
possible. Vocationalism leads inevitably to the inability to communicate with laymen. It leads to vocational isolation and a breakdown of
community life. Schools of Journalism will be frequently urged by
specialized groups to become vocationalized. A pressure group will
want a specialized course in feature
writing for their particular group;
another group will want reporters
trained with their "slant." Each
course will decrease by one course
the number of fundamental courses
in the various fields of knowledge.
A school of journalism such as this
one, only once removed from the
liberal arts tradition, needs have no
fear for the welfare of its graduates
or this nation if it holds to the principle of teaching students and not
training technicians. May the School
of Journalism reflect its heritage.

The Kernel Press, in addition to
printing student publications and
also
doing University
prints books published by the University of Kentucky Press.
The UK Press began operations
on the campus in 1943 in the midst
of war-tim- e
restrictions on paper
and other essential materials, which
made progress difficult; Since that
time, however, the. press has published 21 books, seven of which were
published in the last year under the
directorship of Bruce P. Denbo. At
least five more books are scheduled
for the coming year.
Mr. Denbo came to UK in 1950
from the Louisiana State University
Press, where he got his start in
publishing. He also acquired much
valuable experience while he was in
charge of recruiting publicity in the
Command HeadSeventh Sen-icquarters during World War II. With

In addition to his administrative
duties, Mr. Denbo also selects the
type and plans the format of all the
books published by the Press. Three
of the books he designed while at
L.S.U. have been cited for typographical excellence by the Institute
of Graphic Arts.

also by a University Press committee headed by Dr. Prank L. McVey.
The manuscripts are judged on the

When the book is completed from
cover to cover, Mr. Denbo begins
what he considers the most important step in producing a book the
promotion and sale of the book to
the public. He is particularly interested in publicizing the books to
sychan extent that they 'will ,be

tJTteir subject matter, or all those who
might become interested after reading the book.
Mr. Denbo desires that the press
be considered an advisory organization as well as a publishing concern.
Even when a manuscript is not designed for publication by a university press, he and Mr. Elliott are
ready to help the author with information and advice about other publishers.

presses especially designed lor book

A trust fund set up by Margaret
Voorhies Haggin gave the Press its
start. She intended that the Press
serve the Commonwealth of Kentucky by publishing works of significant contribution to knowledge and
culture, with particular emphasis on
works about Kentucky and this region, and works undertaken by Kentucky faculty members and scholars.
Mr. Denbo points out, however, that
the press is not exclusively for
but must keep Kentucky in
mind as its primary subject.
Although commercial presses will
print works about Kentucky by Kentucky authors, there is a clear distinction between their aims. The
commercial presses will print a book
on Kentucky only when they are
able to foresee a sizable sales' profit
from the publication. On the other
hand, the University Press looks
first for significant scholarship and
worthy contributions, with no primary interest in large profits.

Journalism instruction at the
University of Kentucky has evolved
from a rudimentary beginning In
the English Department 46 years
ago to a
school in the
College of Arts and Sciences.
The first smatterings of journalism taught at the University were
in English composition classes,
where instructors began including
the principles of newswriting around
1905. A few rudimentary ideas of
newswriting and infrequent lectures
by local newspapermen were the extent of journalism teaching.
