     Mankind, for the civilizing 
     
     of human—nature, and ren— 
     
     dering life agreeable and 
     
     happy, none appear of grea- 
     
     ter advantage than that of 
     
     printing; for hereby the 
     
     greatest genius of all ages 
     
     and nations, live and speak 
     
     for the benefit of future 
     
     generations.- 
     
    

    
     "Was it not for the press, 
     
     we should be left almost 
     
     entirely ignorant of all 
     
     those noble sentiments 
     
     which the ancients were 
     
     endowed with." 
     
    

    
     "By this art, men are 
     
     brought acquainted with 
     
     each other, thwgh never 
     
     so remote as to age or

     bably little more than 
     
    

    
     this noble journal. During 
     
     the past summer, whilst 
     
    

    
     I busied myself with study, 
     
     I also had the opportunity 
     
     to examine various North 
     
     American university—student 
     
     papers, and found much of 
     
     the sampling I viewed 
     
     worthy of the utmost ad— 
     
     miration. Chief among this 
     
     category was the Yale Daily 
     
     News. Even if one extracte— 
     
     all faculty and professional 
     
     staff writing and labour, 
     
     maintaining only the stu— 
     
     dent contributions, the 
     
    

    
     YDN would remain a first— 
     
     rate university paper. 
     
    

    
     For the student oontri-- 
     
     butions consist of in- . 
     
     sightful, thought-filled ’ 
     
     eSsays and articles 
     
    

    
     touching upon not only 
     
    

    
     what contamporaniously 
     
    

    
     is "in", so to speak, 
     
    

    
     but also upon socially rele- 
     
     vant and historically 
     
     important events. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ther is able to allocate 
     
     a great amount of press- 
     
     space to events almost as 
     
     they occur. The nature 
     
     of a weele Paper I un" 
     
     fortunatly prevents this. 
     
     Being well aware of the 
     
     financial burden upon a 
     
     university in the publi- 
     
     cation of a weekly paper 
     
     (as well as the disparity 
     
     v in financial resources 
     
     between Yale and our— 
     
     selves), I realize it 
     
     would be unrealistic to 
     
     advocate adoption of 
     
     some ofrthe YEN's other
