In commenting on President Seelye's recently expressed hostility to college papers, the Collegian, a paper published by college graduates in New York, says editorially: "We believe that no branch of the college curriculum is of greater or more permanent benefit to the student than the 'elective' of college journalism. No required literary exercise so tends to develop originality of conception, facility of expression, and finish of style. 'The best school of journalism in the world,' said Prof. Thwing, 'is the editorial board of a college journal.' From the college paper graduate the trained writers, the authors, the editors, who mould the great mass of public opinion, and direct the literary tendency of the age."
