Thanks. Excellent information.
You know there were dentists before dental schools, but I'm pretty happy they decided to try to formalize best practices. My grandfather graduated from dental school in 1920. I never experienced his "technique" but according to both my parents it was crude and painful.
J schools are apparently still at that level, much of the output of their graduates is crude and painful.
“My grandfather graduated from dental school in 1920. I never experienced his “technique” but according to both my parents it was crude and painful.”
Did he ever practice in the Boston area?
I went to a dentist in that area in the 40s and early 50s and it was pure hell.

Maybe the concept of "journalist" didn't even exist exactly at that time.
You made no comment about "formalizing best practices." You said the "concept of journalist."
"Journalists" existed long before the first "J school" was established in America in 1908. They were called things like, "newspaper man," "town crier", and maybe even "the guy in the wagon that went from town to town selling stuff and spreading news one town to the next."
Expand your thinking, Jack.
And stop dancing so hard. It's okay to be wrong.
