History / Biographical NoteBiographical / HistoricalRoscoe Brabazon Ellard, the newspaperman and journalism professor, was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1894. He received his Bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Missouri in 1917. He went on to do graduate work in psychology at Beloit College from 1924-1925, but left his graduate studies to focus on working in journalism. He worked as a newspaperman in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Beloit, Wisconsin before starting his career as a professor of journalism. In 1925 he founded the Lee Memorial School of Journalism at Washington & Lee University, which he directed from 1925-30 before moving on to teach at his alma mater, the University of Missouri. He was recruited by Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in 1940 to serve professor and head of instruction. While at Columbia he initiated a series of programs that gave Columbia students the opportunity to staff suburban newspapers for a day. He briefly served as Associate Dean of the Journalism School in 1946-1947 and retired from the University in 1959. Roscoe Ellard died on Aug. 14, 1962 in Alamogordo, New Mexico. |
