bility concerning the proper inter pretation of the college to its clien tele than does any other individual on the campus he pointed out that the college editor is the reporter of college policies

careful study should be made as to the number of publications which can be supported he indi cated that there is room for a good newspaper for a catalog such as the annual yearbook and for a literary journal he suggested that the latter might well merge with the humorous publication and be the organ of the undergraduate creative writing both serious and light summarizing the purposes of college
