Indiana University School of Journalism
Chair’s records,1922-1976, bulk
1938-1968
Collection is open for research. Advance notice required.
The School of Journalism was established in 1911 as the Department of Journalism and
was at that time part of the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1932, IU students
could earn a bachelor’s degree in journalism for the first time. The name of the
department was changed in 1974 to the School of Journalism, but remained as part of
the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1982, it became a system-wide school,
coordinating journalism courses across all eight campuses. It became an independent
school within the IU system in 1986.
John E. Stempel was head of the Department of Journalism from 1938 until he retired
in 1968. He was a classmate of famed World War II reporter Ernie Pyle at Indiana
University. During Stempel’s chairmanship, the School of Journalism moved to Ernie
Pyle Hall, where it remains today. In addition, it was during his leadership that
the highly-respected High School Journalism Institute was established in the summer
of 1946.
The collection is organized into one series, Administrative files, and arranged in
alphabetical order.
The collection has been organized into a single series of Administrative files,
arranged alphabetically by folder heading. The records span 1922-1976, with the bulk
dating from 1938-1968. Materials in the collection include correspondence, staff
records, research, clippings, reports, contests, and information on organizations
and departments. Prominent in the collection are faculty annual reports, records
related to the Associated Press and its state photo contest headed by John E.
Stempel, workshops developed and run by the school, departmental correspondence, and
records related to the Indiana Daily Student and other campus publications.
IU newspaper and magazine publications that were not related to research or
correspondence were pulled.
Additional records such as newsletters, annual reports, bulletins, and publications
may be accessed in the
Archives of Institutional Memory
