the winter term. Then, with a staff of seven editors, 1t started on a new policy of recording news rather than attacking existing conditions.
 The 80 board published their first number on September H. 1879, and af- ter that the paper was issued every day during the college year.
 Up to this time the graduating class had turned the paper over to board from the class below, which the edi- tors themselves selected. On April g., 1880. it was decided to hold a com petition to last three weeks, the con- tributors doing the best work to be taken on the board to assist in editing the paper. The plan proved so satis- factory that the same method was adopted again only for longer term. This system, with some slight modifi- cations such as dividing the work into assignments, has developed into the present method of competition for po- sitions on the board
 In connection with the early strur- gles of the News 1t is interesting to notice that the Alumni Weekly was originally the offspring of that paper. MT. Pierre Jay, of the '92 News board. established the Weekly because he felt that the Alumni wanted to hear about Yale and about each other In some regular reliable way. Thus the News was the means of instituting a thing without precedent in college Journal ism.
 The list of men who have held the office of chairman of the Yale News since its creation in 1888 is as follows: 1888, M. R. Waite; 1889, H. F. Mason; 1890, J. D. Jackson 1891, S. w Childs; 1892, S.

The first issue of the Yale News ap- peared on January 2s, 1878, thirty years ago to-day. It is by a year the oldest college daily in the United States. and therefore in the world, as college journalism is found only in this country. Its next oldest rival, founded in 1879, has only come down to the present time after several changes in name and class, to the present Harvard Crimson.
 The original form in which the Yale News was first published con- sisted of small sheet, about nine inches by six. The price of the issue at that time was five cents copy
 The original intentions of the pub fishers were not so lofty as to sup pose the paper could be made per- manent; on the contrary, it was fear ed at first that the paper could not be continued to the end of the year.
 The following rather curious edi- torial appeared after the paper had been published for a week:
 "One week gone, and still kicking. Yes, not only kicking. but almost on our feet and growing each day stronger"
 As an illustration of the small wars which were waged against and by the News the ensuing quotation is interesting: The slurs cast upon the Yale News by the New York Tribune scarcely deserve our notice, for they proceed from a prejudiced and arro- gant pen, yielded by no greater man than Whitelaw Reid. Our magnificent sheet is characterized by him as composed of four strau-colored pages of the size of a second-class handbill, 5 and as filled with college news of a sensational character"
 Humorous allusions to events in the outside world also appeared:
 'fThe Pope has rolled off the log To Heaven with the Pope"
 A column of personals was quite free from any of the modern ideas of dignity and was refreshingly frank in its remarks, as:
 "The pot-belly's cravats are too loud This a. m. he wore in chapel a large black and white tie, variegated with yellow silk bumble-bees.
 This reference was to a prominent member of the faculty.
 On February II the News appeared in a larger form and on March 12 8 series of cartoons were published. Or April the founders turned their in- terests in the paper over to a new board, consisting of W. H. Law, J. A Heller. S. NJ Moores, and Harold Roorback
 The new board did not issue theil first number until the beginning oi
