Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications houses a Bachelor of Arts degree with seven majors and a graduate\u00a0program accredited by the Association for Education in Journalism\u00a0and Mass Communications.

He never considered himself handicapped.<\/p>\n<p>It never would have occurred to him to offer excuses for his blindness, and he didn\u2019t expect excuses from his students.

By unloading cars in his fathers\u2019 coalmines in Shinnston, W. Va., area and free-lancing writing for wire services for the newspapers in Columbus, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh during the school year, he had worked his way through college.<\/p>\n<p>By age 25, Pitt was eager, capable and confident. Then Marshall College President Morris P. Shawkey offered him a job as a college instructor and to supervise the student newspaper, The Parthenon.<\/p>\n<p>From 1926 to 1971, Pitt, founder of the journalism program at Marshall, had a profound effect on the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands of student and professional journalists.<\/p>\n<p>His former students include a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper editor, a television comedy star, editor of a national news magazine, directors of public relations departments and other journalists in key positions throughout the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The W.
