For our inaugural (yay!) Instagram post, we're doing some of that #tbt action, in this case back to 1912. The first dean of the School of Communication (then School of Oratory), Robert M. Cumnock (in bowler hat), stands with students in front of Annie May Swift Hall. Cumnock was the school's only professor until he made two faculty hires: both women. A large swath of his students were women, too. And today, our tireless and brilliant dean is a woman. #whoruntheworldgirls #northwestern #nuarchives #northwesterndirection #SoC
