A 60-page magazine, with contributions from graduates as well as undergraduates, and with a national circulation; was announced as the aim of the Advocate at a meeting for candidates last night at the Union. W. D. Edmonds Jr. '26, President of the Advocate, outlined the magazine's new policy to the candidates and other undergraduates who had come to hear Professor C. T. Copeland '82, read and speak.

The Freshman number of the Advocate, Edmonds said, was a forerunner of the rejuvenation of the magazine. This number, which has already appeared, is 46 pages in length and is clothed in a new blue cover designed by the artist who designed the new cover of Harper's magazine. He has also designed the Advocate's new title page. The paper used in the interior of the magazine is no longer calendar paper, but is of antique finish.

Want Articles from Eminent Men

Hoping to make the Advocate of more interest to graduates and to the public, Edmonds is planning to include articles from graduates and men prominent in life, as well as undergraduate fiction and verse. An article is already promised from Thorvald S. Ross '12, and Edmonds hopes for contributions from such well-known writers as Heywood Broun '10, and Stephon Leacock. The undergraduates will remain alone in the fiction field, as well as in the book review department.

Later in the year the Advocate plans to run a series of articles by well-known men on the place of the university graduate in various professions. Another new feature planned this year is a frontispiece. For most of the numbers artistic contributions from undergraduates will be used, but in a few issues paintings by Turner, said to be practically unknown, will appear.

In the drive for national circulation, which will start with the November number, aid will be given by the American News in New York. Through this organization copies of the Advocate will be sent to newsstands throughout the country.

Edmonds stated that letters on any subject from both undergraduates and graduates are desired, as he plans to start a contributors' column. The latter is intended to be something like a combination of the Atlantic Monthly's contributors' club and a "letter box" department.

Professor Copeland spoke on the history of the Advocate, and urged upon the candidates the preference of writing "gentleman's essays" to producing ordinary fiction. He expressed his pleasure with the first number of the new Advocate and read selections from several authors.
