COLLEGE JOURNALISM.

ne rnivsrsfty OF Mtehisas Taking
Rapid strides IN That Line.
ANN ARsoR, April s.-College journal
ism 1t the University of Michigan,
which has, in former years, been Of
comparatively low grade. has received
. great impetus this year. For num-
Der OF years the only publications of
Importance were two weekly papers
and the various class ANIMALS. The
two weeklies were published by board
OF editors composed Of both Fraternity
Inen and Independents aud each &C.
cupied almost exactly. the same field.
At the end of last year the Independ-
ents, conceiving that their Interests
were not properly represented in either
publication, decided TO Put new paper
IN the field. But il was not until the
opening OF this year that the idea OF
making II daily paper was conceived.
The board OF editors returned few
days before the opening and when the
students returned TO their studies. Oct. / i,
they were not little surprised to find
tho "U. OF NJ. Daily" the first college
daily published in the west, being sold
on the streets by the newsboys. 1t met
with great success and has already at
tanned q prominent place among the
college publications OF the world. II is
the representative paper OF the whole
University; every department having u
right 10 representation on the board of
editors. The annual election of editors
was held Saturday and the following
were elected editors for the ensuing
year: From the Literary department,
). w. Curtiss. +. d. Gleen, s. l.. Chap
man, w. H. DeIlenback. j. G. Travis,
w. Z. Parker, F. K. Janette, G. b. Dy-
CERT, c. W. Ricketts,, Chas. Weller and
d. b. Cheever; from the Law depart
ment, H. ID. Jewell, l.. /. Abbott and
r. Stone; from the Medical department,
j. Arneill and Ruggles.
Saturday evening the board OF editors
of the Daily celebrated its first success
full year by giving banquet ut the
Occidental Hotel, Ypsilantl, at which
several members of the faculty and
representatives of the other U. of NJ.
papers and the three other college
dailies of the United States were IN
vited. The toast, university of Mich
gan" was responded to by Prof. +. n.
Scott, prominent member of the fac
ulty. Letters of regret were read from
several others. President Angel sent
an encouraging letter, in which he
stated that the daily had already been
OF great service to the University.
The two former weeklles have CON-
bined under the name OF the Chronicle
Argonaut, and 10 very spicy publica-
ton.
The last publication to enter the field
10 the Inlander, the first issue of which
appeared last month. 1t is . monthly
magazine, and contains original literary
articles by both faculty and students.
The second number, To be issued this
month, is much larger than its prede-
cessor. The Inlander, like the Daily,
is meeting with great success Tor a new
venture.
Tho University Record, published by
tho faculty, will soon appear. The
Oracle, the Junior annual, has already
been published. The Palladium. the
Senior fraternity publication, wall ap-
pear later. The Castalian. the annual
Of the Senior Independents, is on sale
this week. 1t has over three hundred
pages OF interesting literary matter,
and Is the most complete publication of
the kind ever issued at the u. of NJ,
aud will rival anything published BY
any college.
II as much advancement is made
next year as has been made this year
in college journalism, the u. OF NJ. will
equal, If not excel, any Of its compel.
itors.
