- Abstract
This article informs that while Arizona was still a Territory, the University of Arizona opened to students, and for the next twenty years growth was slow, the curriculum was narrow, and the number of yearly graduates was few. In traditional fashion the original courses in speech were listed under English Composition and Rhetoric, Public speaking as a course was first offered in 1912-13, and by 1915 a course in argumentation had been added, which course was taught for several years by Allegra Frazier, who is now Professor Emeritus of English. From 1924 all of the work in speech was taught by W. Arthur Cable, until a second instructor joined the staff in 1927 and together these two offered seven courses: principles of speaking, voice and action, argumentation and debate, advanced public speaking, phonetics and pronunciation, voice science, and the teaching of speech.
