 RECOGNIZING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SAMUEL IRVING NEWHOUSE SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 2015

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of the Samuel Irving Newhouse School of Public 
Communications at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. The 
creation of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications began in 
1964 with the support of Samuel Irving Newhouse, who had a vision to 
build a communications school where ``the best and the brightest'' 
would come to study.
   The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is widely regarded 
as one of the nation's leading school of communications. The Newhouse 
School has gained this reputation over the past fifty years due to its 
wide embrace of virtually every known form of information 
dissemination--including print and broadcast journalism, social media 
and online communication, advertising and public relations, as well as 
photography and film.
   The roots of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications are 
founded in Syracuse University's former School of Journalism. In 1934 
the School of Journalism was founded at Syracuse University and has 
developed into a nationally renowned educational institution. In 1964 
the first of three buildings, ``Newhouse 1,'' was opened and dedicated 
by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1971 the School of Journalism merged 
with the Department of Television and Radio and was re-named the S.I. 
Newhouse School of Public Communications.
   I am proud to recognize the S.I. Newhouse School of Public 
Communications at Syracuse University and congratulate the School on 
the achievement of its 50th anniversary. I am confident that the S.I. 
Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University will 
continue to grow and educate talented, rising professionals in public 
communications and it is my honor to congratulate the Newhouse School 
on behalf of the entire Central New York Community.
