Mass communications was only one of several possibilities, but more than any of the others, it kindled the interest and enthusiasm of the directors and staff.
In this essay, former Markle president Lloyd N. Morrisett discussed the 1969 creation of the mass communications program, Markle's fourth area of concentration since its founding in 1927. In this discussion, Morrisett wrote about the history of Markle's previous programs, the process of selecting a new concentration, the importance of mass communications as a research subject, and the structure of the new program.
