...college newspaper is primarily for the benefit of the college students; its duty, like that of any newspaper, is to report the college news in an unbiassed fashion. However, if it happens to be the policy of the paper to devote considerable space to national or state news, it should be allowed to report it as it sees fit, always provided that it handles only material that it knows about.

...reads the first page of "Listen for a Lonesome Drum" will want to read the whole of it. But it has spoiled for a long time the chances of another author writing a successful book on old York State. Mr. Carmer should have confined himself to a more limited space or done more thorough and more accurate work.

...Typography", says Mr. Morison, "May be defined as the craft of rightly disposing printing material in accordance with specific purpose; of so arranging the letters, distributing the space and controlling the type as to aid to the maximum the readers comprehension of the text. Typography is the efficient means to as essentially utilitarian and only accidentally aesthetic end, for enjoyment of patterns is rarely the reader's chief aim. Therefore, any disposition of printing material which, whatever the intention, has the effect of coming between author and reader is wrong. It follows that is the printing of books meant...
