ed through all the stages Of newspaper
life from cub reporter to associate ed
itor of a big daily. Mr.. Williams stands
high in the newspaper. ranks by virtue
Of his unusual mental equipment. and
he brings to his task of maxim. young
journalists the experience of nearly
forty years and a wide range of prac-
teal knowledge.
1t is said that Mr.. Williams will per-
sonally direct the courses in the history
and ethics Of journalism. Here his ex-
| perience will count for much. He has
witnessed the mechanical transition Of
newspaper making. the revolution in
methods of newsgathering, the vary
ditions that have had their influence,
good or bad. upon the press of the
country. He has seen. too. the infu-
ence of education on the personnel of
newspaper men and the evolution of a
new type, so to speak.
When he Joined the staff of the New
York World in 1878. just after his grad
uation from Amherst. the old order
was already changing. There was a
greater demand for men who knew
something more than the mere rules
of writing and a few supericialities.
Newspaper proprietors were looking
for reporters and editorial writer's with
a broader outlook and a deeper knowl-
edge than had been demanded thereto
fore in the profession. These facts
were not lost upon Talcott Williams.
and he schooled himself in political his

the problems Of government and the
hundred and one topics that make up
the worlds news and call for comment.
In short. he made himself a trained
newspaper man.
He acquired the habit of collecting
all manner of material that would be
of value to him in his daily work as

a newspaper writer. He went about
it methodically. gathering newspaper
clippings, magazine and scientific ar
ticles, books and pamphlets on every
conceivable subject until in the course
of time he had accumulated a news
paper ''morgue" or dead room that
is accounted one of the best in the
country.
MIR. Williams has done a good deal
Of his work for the Philadelphia Press
In his library at home. surrounded by
boxes filled with the grist of his clip
ping mill. Here it is not an uncom-
mon sight to see him standing between
two piles of newspapers and magazines
industriously marking articles FOR his
librarian to index and file. He has
been doing this a%ssiduously for many
years and as Il consequence has ac-
quired a remarkable store of working
knowledge. And he re-enforces his H.
brary by a peculiarly retentive mem
Org. He is a dangerous man to bait
into argument. for he can always refer
to time, place and details without much
research.
In some respects the demand in news
paper shops is for the specialist. the
man who car Il chosen field par
ticularly we'll. and perhaps the school
OF journalism will attempt to turn out
such graduates. Mr.. Williams can
hardly be called a specialist. Rather
he is an expert in several subjects. He
has done almost everything that a man
can do in the editorial department of
a newspaper. He has been a reporter
and Washington correspondent; he has
Wrestled with the makeup. sat in the
managing editors chair and had a
voice in the editorial council. He can
write dramatic or art criticism almost
as well as an editorial on the far east
or on local or national politics. He
writes without effort, and there are
few subjects with which he has not
some familiarity.
Mr.. Williams has cultivated the art
Of after dinner speaking, and he is in
demand as a college lecturer, covers a
great range Of subjects and has been
in close contact with leaders Of public
opinion throughout the country. In
Philadelphia he has cultivated the ac-
qu%aintance Of the men who rule the
University Of Pennsylvania and exer-
else considerable influence in that city.
Twice he has collected anthropological
material in Morocco for the university
and the Smithsonian institution, be-
sides publishing papers on Morocco
and her language. On his expeditions
he has been accompanied by Mrs. Will
liams. who is a collector of botanical
specimens.
