GOOD WORK OF FLORIDA
COLLEGE JOURNALS

College journalism has developed
wonderfully in recent years and
this is nowhere more marked than
here in Florida where our leading
institutions of learning including a
number of the high schools, are pub
fishing some excellent papers edited
by the students, that are not un-
worthy of professionals. They have
field to fill and they fill it well
and in the last issue of the Florida
Alligator, published by the students
OF the University of Florida, at
GAINESVILLE, there is a fine leading
article entitled ''Let's Come Into
Our own" that is sound doctrine
for every paper in Florida to preach.
This article says that other States
are bidding for our young men to
attend their colleges, noting parti-
cularly the efforts of the University
OF Pennsylvania in that direction,
and in spirited style it calls upon the
people of Florida to support their
own university, which in equipment
and faculty is now standard in
stitution. Formerly there was little
or no effort to obtain these Florida
students for schools in other States:
they went without being sought: for
our own colleges were without the
equipment or repute of high class
seats of learning. But that is no
longer the case, and the Alligator
shrewdly argues that the very fact
that institutions in PENNSYLVANIA.
Tennessee and other States are now
reaching out for Florida boys by lit
erature and other forms of appeal
proves that the standard quality OF
our State schools of higher learning
and the need for competing with
them is now recognized abroad.
Our college Journals can be and
are being made valuable agencies 10
advertise our Florida institutions
and help to end the quite needless
custom of sending our boys to othor
States to get an education. No Young
man will have any use for better
education than he can get at the
University of Florida and other
schools of like class in this State.
