In 1919 a University committee recommended the creation of a Department or Bureau of Publicity. The Department's purpose was to "advertise" the University by sending speakers to press gatherings, women's clubs, high schools, county fairs, and chautauquas, and especially to let the taxpayers of Illinois "know just what character of educational service they are paying for." The following year, University Trustees appointed a Directory of Publicity.
