1928
Yenching School of Journalism Founded
|
Following Vernon Nash's, BJ '14, establishment of a department of journalism at China's Yenching University in 1924, Walter Williams chaired an advisory committee to formally sponsor a full school of journalism there. The committee sought an initial fund of $50,000 from American newspapers to create the Chinese school's budget, and Williams helped establish exchange fellowships between Missouri and Yenching's schools of journalism.

The Missouri-China connection was prominent in the 1920s-1930s. Vernon Nash, (top, far left) brought Chinese exchange students to Walter Williams' home in 1932. Williams visited alumni in Shanghai in 1927 (middle). Williams welcomed Nash and a student from Yenching University, Te-Chen Tang, to the School in 1932 (bottom).
