Depression Affected School and Students
|
The Great Depression took hold of the School of Journalism, resulting in a 10 percent budget reduction and only 14 out of 141 graduates finding journalism-related jobs after commencement. As president of the University, Walter Williams reduced his own salary from $12,500 to $10,000 as a personal Depression sacrifice.

The School's faculty and staff (top, 1930) voluntarily limited expenditures, and one faculty member was not reappointed. Graduates throughout the University (below, 1930) had difficulty finding jobs.
