Loomis, President of the Citizen Publishing Company of LaGrange, and President of the Illinois Press Association, has written me that at the annual meeting of the Association on October 11 and 12, "a resolution was prepared expressing satisfaction with the development of the School of Journalism and urging upon the trustees the erection of a permanent home for the school in the immediate future. While I recognize the desirability of such a building, i seemed to me we should not be impatient or inconsiderate of other t departments, and at m y suggestion the resolution was changed to urge a home for the School of Journalism as soon as consistent with the building plans of the trustees.
