Dean Allen Talks
To Rotary Club
Journalism Head
Speaks on Papers'
History Since 1609
In recognition of this week,
which has been designated as Na
tional Newspaper week, Dean Eric
W. Allen of the University school
of journalism, spoke at Tuesday’s
luncheon meeting of the Rotary
club at the Osburn hotel, on news
paper advancement during the past
centuries.
Commenting briefly on the his
tory of newspapers since 1609,
Dean Allen traced the progress of
newspapers during the past cen
turies to preserve the spark of
freedom and independence native
to the human race, and emphasized
that the spirit of the publications
has always been that neither the
church nor the state can authori
tatively tell the individual what he
can say or think.
Starting with the persecutions
of the pamphleteers and the strug
gle for individual freedom in the
seventeenth century, he discussed
the period of thriving for newspa
pers in the 1640’s, and works of Jo
seph Addison, and Addison’s
American admirer, Benjamin
Franklin.
Other prominent workers in the
journalistic field were also intro
duced at the meeting, and Dr. Fred
Miller, director of the student
health service was named as a
new member of the Rotary club.

versity graduate of 1937. She re
