This same business man's attitude is being recognized more and more by college students. Again and again "The New Student" receives letters from students protesting that this or that item will give their college "unfavorable publicity." It is encouraging to reflect that these students are realizing more and more that each bit of news emanating from the college must be judged from the advertising man's point of view, that each editorial must contribute in some way to building...
