I NEWS ESCAPED LOSING NAME TEN YEARS AGO The STATE COLLEGE NEWS at one stage in its earliest days narrowly escaped losing its name. Had the plan of its staff in 1916 been carried out, today the College mii'ht have not the NEWS, but the State College Banner, or Times, or any one of a score of other titles. "Readers of the NEWS are asked to help find a name, possibly more suitable, for the College weekly," said an announcement in the first issue ten years ago today, "The publishing committee and perhaps some of the faculty will take final action October 12. Suggestions are welcome before that date," Later in the year, however, the editors decided that the existing name was best, and it has be-ome permanent. The number of newspapers in the United States with News as their name, exceeds those I with any other one name. $M mmmm»»*S& STATE COLLEGE tfEWS, OCTOBER 4, lw26 State College News ESTABLISHED BY THE Ct.ASS OP 1918 'IM...

PRINTED IIY MILLS ART PRESS, J9',-.196 llroadway Monday October 4, 1926 Vol. XI, No. 8 TEN YEARS OLD Ten years is not a long time in the life of a man or of a newspaper. And so on this, its tenth birthday anniversary, the NEWS can claim neither a large amount of aged tradition nor a great stock of hoary wisdom. But a tenth birthday is nevertheless an occasion for rejoicing, Mortality rates are lower after it, and so the NEWS can anticipate a second decade of happy, healthy growth. The man-child or the fledgling newspaper has reached a stage where it is truly an individual, recognized jjs such by its fellows. The NEWS has made a place for itseff in the life of State College, a place which happily seems to have grown larger as th'e years have passed. That place and that influence, it is to be hoped, the NEWS may in future years expand still more, that the paper may work with increasing devotion and energy for the best interests of the college. THE NEWS' HISTORY To honor its tenth birthday and to fittingly set forth its history, the NEWS has published this special birthday number. In it are printed also some of the messages of greeting which the paper has received in recognition of the occasion. No story of the STATE COLLEGE NEWS can be complete which does not recognize the contributions of the newspaper's founders. The name of Alfred Dedicke, '18, will always be inseparably associated with the establishment of the NEWS. Dedicke it was who while still a sophomore conceived the need and opportunity for a student paper. It was he who convinced the student body of that need. It was he who became its first editor. And it was he who laid down, on October 14, 1916, in the first editorial of Volume one, Number one, that policy of service to State College to which the NEWS has clung through the years. If a second name were to be singled out, it would be that of President Brubacher. In the establishment of the college paper as in the initiation of a surprisingly large number of other worthwhile movements, the name of the president looms large. As have all other good causes in his twelve years here, the infant newspaper received his full approval and support. The NEWS, however, is a student publication and in no sense has ever been an organ dominated by faculty or other agencies As the mirror and spokesman of the undergraduate body it has and will maintain its obligation to free from control of any kind, except such as is dictated by decency and good taste, lint under the broad-minded and fair administration of the College, no such attempt at dictation has ever been made. Differences of opinion between the NEWS and the College To a continuation of this editorial policy the NEWS pledges its best efforts for this year and invites the cooperation of all, In its news policy the paper will continue to relate College affairs without prejudice'or favor, in accordance with the best standards of journalistic method attainable by its staff. Promptness, accuracy and fairness will bo as always the newspaper's ideals. Correct evaluation and proportionnicnt of material will be attempted. The student forum will be open for"publication of all sincere communications, . . . . TODAY AND THE FUTURE A more complete coverage of College news, with adequate illustration, it is hoped, will be made possible by the present size paper, which contains sixty per cent more column-inches than have those of the last nine years. An enlarged staff, more carefully trained through the NEWS' own reporting class, will aid in the realization of the ideal of a readable paper. Not only the NEWS staff, it is felt, but the student body generally will welcome the assurance that adequate quarters for the publication Will be provided in the new building, The NEWS takes this opportunity to explain again the fact that the larger paper will cost the student association about $400 per year, an increase of about eighteen per cent, or less than one per cent per student per issue. In conclusion the NEWS again asks student and faculty support and co-operation. Const, uctive suggestions for improvements will be welcomed. All criticism? will be carefully considered if brought before the editors. ANOTHER BIRTHDAY On this, its tenth birthday, the STATE COLLEGE NEWS ex- tends hearty congratulations to The Coucordiensis, undergraduate newspaper of Union college, Schenectady. The paper Coiicoruietisis is observing its golden jubilee anniversary this year, besides the Concord,ensis' titty years, the NEWS' ten seem small indeed. The NEWS wishes another half century of successful growth to its neighbor. Happy birthday I COLLEGE AND CASH "Dean Everett VV. Lord of the college of business administration, Boston university, is given as authority for the statement that the cash value of a college education is $/U,lKJiJ. Ilis estimate was arrived at following an inquiry into the increased earning capacity of graduates of that university. I he figure given agrees, generally speaking, with others offered by other investigators into the subject. "Dean Lord does not say so, and we should be the last to suggest that such a thing was in his mind, but the popular reaction to such an estimate is likely to be solely from the standing of dollars and cents. The parents who may be hesitating whether to send their son or daughter to college next fall, and who are interested chiefly in the economic side' of education, are likely to be swayed in favor of higher education by the lure of $70,000 additional for Johnny's future, thanks to the eventual possession of a college degree. And if that is the only bait that will attract some young hopefuls to college, we are for it, trusting to luck that in spite of their search for the pot of gold at the end of the college rainbow, they will get something else for their soul's good. "The college graduate who goes out into the world, bent only on seeing how much money he can make, has little claim to being an educated man; rather he is simply a trained money grubber. Material estimates to the contrary notwithstanding, the real value of an education will continue to be measured by how much the college graduate helps to raise the general average of life, by how much of a sense of public service he has, by how much more tolerant and broad-minded he is and by how much more he has to give the world, rather than by how much more he can take from it, than if he had not gone to college. When his race finally is run he is much more likely to be remembered for what he was and what he did than for how much money he made. A college education that can be measured only by the salary yardstick is not worth much to a world that is looking for better things of the college men and women." DYNAMITING IDEAS (Professor Davis, in the New Student) "The past ten years have seen the culmination of movements which have shattered the cement of the existing social order, drenched the world in blood, and burned up more of our life and treasure than ever before in history. Unfortunately, the campus world sails serenely on without realizing that we are living in an era fttiidamently different from that of 1914. 'flic college is a world of dualism: on one side there are books and study; on the other, far more powerful, is the life of every day—fraternities, athletics, and social events. As a result, some have mistakenly answered the question, 'What do we mean by college-bred?' by the reply 'A four years' loaf.' One reason why classes are often so uninteresting' is that we have no way to put our theories to the test in college and consequently the theories seem unreal. They arci not related to life. Hence there is a dualism between the things we actually experience and do, as in athletics and fraternities, and the things we only talk or read about, as in the class-room.

To the many who have been entirely unaware of the coming of this journal and to those who do not clearly understand its mission we direct this message. This great United Stales of ours was mice a small nation. With a steadily increasing population the boundaries of civilization were gradually extended, until at last the Republic reached from ocean to ocean, But the growth of the nation presented a possible danger, a clanger that was threatening the very life of the country—the danger of a crumbling nationalism, the danger of a growing sectionalism, the danger, therefore, of a country divided, of a nation falling apart. Then, almost at the crisis, in the march of progress enme influences that revolutionized the whole political and economic status of the Republic. The rails of the railroads and the wires of the telegraph and telephone were stretched across the fields, the hills, and the rivers of the land, from the East to the V\es', from the North to the South. These bands of metal bound together the extremes of the country, one with the other, making the heterogeneity, into which the nation had grown, a solid unit. These modern agencies of communication brought the millions of our country into direct touch with one another—made the whole nation a single political and industrial family. This groat State College of ours was once a small College. With a steadily increasing number of students, courses and activities were gradually extended, until today the boundaries of the student-life inclose stretches reaching from the Chemistry club to the Promethean Literary society, from the athletic field to the auditorium, from the library to the : ymnasium, from the senior to the freshman and so on, from one extreme to the other, touching upon scores of independent groups, each with a different interest and none visibly connected with another. The close observer must discover now the presence of that same threatening danger in our student-life which history shows to have once existed in the United States—a decided trend toward sectionalism and away from centralization. We have by no means reached a crisis, but there is a great need for some means by which there can be brought to bear upon our student body a similar influence to that which is being exerted upon the nation by the railroads, the telegraph, and the telephone. 'I here has arisen a need for a means of bringing each extreme of our student life into direct touch with the other, of making this heterogeneity into which wc have grown a solid unit, a single collegiate family. What better means than a newspaper, such as the STATE COLLEGE NEWS to achieve the desired results? In it will be pictured with insistent regularity and in installments quickly following one another, the history of each unit of our college life, [n its columns you will feel the pulse beat of the student body. It will be as a mirror standing at an angle into which a body peering will not see his own, but rather the image of another. Thus do wc launch this journal on its course, with every confidence that it fills a long felt want, and that its policy: To make each faction of our student organisation know and appreciate all others, to uphold the maintenance of fraternal regard and friendly rivalry among all, to work for cooperation between all sections and for the solidification of the now separately wasted energies in the promotion of a real, distinct, and enthusiastic spirit nf loyally to Slate College, will in time do much toward placing the record of our achievements outside of the classroom on a plane in keeping with our standing as America's leading teachers college.

DEDIGKE EDITED FIRST NEWS Four W o m e n And Six Men Head Paper Since Founding On October 4 , 19i6 In celebrating the. tenth birthday anniversary of the NEWS, it is fitting that wc should cast a thought or two to the people who have been most responsible for its accomplishments in the past. The NEWS was founded in 191647 with Alfred E. Dedickc, '18, as editorin-chief. He bore the honor of piloting the "baby NEWS" through its first year. He was succeeded by Kathryn Cole, '18. Miss Cole resides at 14 Leonard avenue, Brooklyn. She was the first woman to be editor-in-chief of the NEWS and look over the reins of government when women were called to fill men's positions during the World war. During 1918-19, Donald M. Tower, now principal of Hiughainton Junior High school, became editor-in-chief, and was succeeded the following year by Kenneth P. Holben of Williamstown, Mass, Following Mr. Holben, F. Reginald Bruce, of Mew York city, piloted the NEWS through its fifth year. The sixth head of the growing weekly was its second woman chief, Louise I). Persons, of Sliuccrlands, and in 19222.? the leadership reverted again to a man, Robert MacFarlanc, an Albanian, '2,1. He was succeeded by Dorothy V. Bcnnt't, also of Albany, class of '24, who in turn relinquished the ruling power in favor of another member of her sex, Kathleen E. Furman of East Rochester, class of '25. Harry S. Godfrey, '26, was elected to the office of chief executive for last year. He resides in Cohocton. Edwin Van Kleeck, '27, of Waterford, present editor-in-chief, succeeded him i.'si June. TOWER SENDS GREETINGS You may be assured that I shall be thinking of you Saturday night. Will you please extend my best wishes to all the alumni back and to the present board of teachers? I sincerely hope the party will be a great success, and that this year will be the best in the history of the STATE COLLEGE NEWS. Yours, DONALD M. TOWER. NEWS FORCE FOR GOOD. DR. BRUBACHER WIRES Editor, T H E NEWS; The STATE COLLEGE NEWS has been a force for good in our student life. Its leadership has been intelligent and progressive. I congratulate you and your staff on the achievements of your first decade and confidently look forward to yet greater things from your efforts, A, R. BRUHACIIEF I AIRBED DEDICKE '18 Firat Editor of NEWS EN E. ELLIOT, 1926 A Personal Message For The Business Men of Albany The power of the State College" News is writing Albany trade names into the buying minds of the " Millionarea." Three things should the prospective advertiser—whether in a metropolitan daily or a college weekly —ask a newspaper; "How many people read your newspaper?" . . . " Have they the money to buy my goods?" . . . "Are they responsive to advertising?" Every week eleven hundred college students read the State College News—not glance through it, but read it, from beginning to end, news, advertising, editorials. They carry it with them into hundreds of Albany homes where the whole family reads it. Seventy-five faculty members get it and read it every week. $1,250,000, (Albany Chamber of Commerce figures) is spent by this concentrated buying group (the "Millionarea") in Albany every year. The ideal of complete coverage of this field is realized through the College News, and in no other wav. Tt is not only the strongest, but also almost the only, sin;, le selling force in the colic e " Miillonarea." College students like—and buy— good clothes, good furniture, good food, good entertainment, good books. They like—and buy—package foods, fur coats, musical instruments, and radios, silk stockings and jewelry. Their guide to the market is the College News. Do you want to impress this college audience (the "Millionarea ") here in Albany? Do you want to "sell them" on anything? If you do, come along the " College News-way." Your copy in their paper will attract their attention. Your facts, told in a medium which they read, will " sell them " what yon have, A letter or phone call will bring you a student-salesman who knows the market as well as the medium.
