In connection with this weakly sheet
it is the intention of the staff to pub
lish, at intervals throughout the yea,
four special magazine numbers, the
first OF which--thc football number
has already appeared, and has created
some very favorable comments. The
other three are to be a purely literary
number, a music and theatrical num-
Der, and II regular commencement
alumni number. A year book is also
under way. and all this goes to show
that journalism at the L.. a. 9, is in Il
progressive stage.
Professor Upham of the English de-
partment in 1902. feeling the need OF
a paper at this institution, started the
movement, which later resulted in the
publication OF Student Life. With prac-
tically no subscribers to insure a good
financial support it was an uphill fight
from the start. However, through the
perseverance OF Professor Upham and
Mr.. James Jardine, the first editor. Stu
dent Life grew and was later recog-
nized as one OF the best college pa
pers in the land, MI Jardine was
editor for two wears, and he later sue
coedcd Prof. Upham in the English de-
partment, and assumed full charge OF
the paper.
Following him, c. w. Porter was
chosen as editor, and he also did
much for the upbuildng of Student
Life. In 1905, 2. G. Peterson took the
editors chair and he was followed
by F.. d. Farrell in 1906. Since then
i. " Carbon, the present editor, ably
4 rected by Prof. Christian Larsen,
has been in charge, and he, as all tho
other editors, have have done, is max
ing Student Life rank high in the world
OF college Journalism.
