“ Pulitzer cultivated an already remarkable knowledge of art and its history, and could talk most ably upon the characteristics and qualities of not only our leading American sculptors and painters, but of the old masters. ”

“ No step in professional education has attracted wider public attention or awakened a more general approval in the American press. When Mr. Pulitzer proposed the school twelve years ago its plans, purposes and need were all challenged. From the announcement of the appointment in February, 1912, of its Director, Talcott Williams, formerly of “The New York World” staff and for thirty-eight years in active journalism, to its successful opening and full operation of the school has commanded the confidence of newspapers and journalists. ”

“ The total attendance grows steadily year by year and establishes the leading position of the school among institutions of its kind in this or any other country. The number attending is greater in proportion to the number of journalists in the country than is the number attending the law and medical courses in Columbia University in proportion to the number of those practicing law and medicine. In September, 1913, the school entered its new building, for which $500,000 was provided by Mr. Pulitzer's bequest. ”
