...early days of college journalism the daily newspaper had no part. College news, such as there is now, did not exist. When the number of students was small and their interests and activities were necessarily restricted, a weekly or even a bi-weekly paper was easily able to perform the functions of recorder and commentator, the only ones then needed. What real news there was spread quickly through the narrow limits of the college.

When we think that there are annually about three thousand suicides in the United States, we may well ask ourselves, what can we do to make life worth living for those mortals who are brooding on their...
