That newspapers are in danger of a
censorship which will make freedom
of the press a thing of the past was
among the more important points
touched on in the conference. The adj
visibility of working out the exact
financial condition of the country
newspaper plant and putting it on a
sound paying basis by means of adj
vertising rates sufficiently high to meet
the expenses with a profit, and the
doing away with time-worn, non-pay-
ing national advertising were also
among the subjects discussed.
Rutgers College and the State
University
Rutgers College, where the Institute
was held, is one of the nine colonial
colleges in the United States, having
been founded November 10, 1866. 1t
was at that time called Queens Col
lege, in honor of Queen Charlotte of
England; but in 1925, in recognition
of the widespread benevolences of Col
onel Henry Rutgers, of New York City,
the name was changed to Rutgers Col
lege. In 1864 Rutgers was made the
State College for the Benefit of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts, and on
March Is, 1917, was designated also as
the State University OF New Jersey.
During the past year there were 765
undergraduate students at Rutgers;
but, including the College for Women,
the Summer Session, Short Courses in
Agriculture, and Extesion Courses, the
total enrolment was 2,414. The 18th
year of the college will be opened on
September 10Th, when it is expected
that more than 800 freshmen will be
enrolled. The college offers courses
leading to the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor
of Science. The latter degree is given
in Agriculture, Civil, Electrical and
Mechanical Engineering, Ceramics,
Biology and Chemistry. The property
of the college is valued at almost two
million dollars, and contains twenty
one academic buildings, in addition to
a number of dormitories and fraternity
houses. Although students were pres
sent last year from as far West as
California and as far South as Florida,
the large majority of the u~ndergradu-
ates are residents of New Jersey.
