It is a matter of much satisfaction to print this morning an account of the present organization of newspaper men in the University. An association such as is described has been in effect since October, though not until recently in definite enough shape for announcement. The students who report for Boston and New York newspapers have formed the News Bureau to increase the efficiency of their own service and establish an agency where any newspaper may procure news of the University; and the News Bureau has joined with the CRIMSON in an active attempt to reach newspapers all over the country interested in Harvard. Roughly speaking, as was stated in the article elsewhere, labor will be divided--the CRIMSON gathering the news, and the News Bureau directing dissemination.
All stories of value to outside newspapers which come in to the CRIMSON or the Bureau are not only published in the CRIMSON, but receive general attention outside of the University, whereas if given directly to any outside newspaper they probably appear in that paper alone. The more professors and all men connected with Harvard who have news give it out through the Association, not only the better will it be for them, since they will secure greater publicity, but the better will it be for the University. Already the Office has consented to give out all official news through this channel. Everyone who follows its lead is doing a great service.
