SUBSQREBE [WWW
With the subscription campaign begun today the Armour
Tech News asks you to help support the paper. This is ‘
a vital student activity furnishing; information and build- 1
ing school spirit. i
In no other manner can the news of the school be:
given to the students and faculty as effectively as itl
can in a student newspaper. The daily city papers do,
not report the local happenings unless they are of cityl‘

 

wide interest. Thus a local paper appears to be the
only solution. By arousing interest in the athletic teams,
musical clubs, and other student activities, a school news/
paper performs a valuable service. The growth of school
spirit here has been marked since the first appearance
of this paper in April 1928‘ We believe that the ac-
complishments of the past are only an indication of what
may be achieved in the future. This future depends
entirely upon the support of the student body

Yositions on the stafi' of the News are open to anyonc‘]
in school, the only basis of choice being quality of work. i
It is a paper published by the students and for the,
students.

The financial success and therefore the continued exist-
ence of the Nows depends upon the support of the stuv
dent body. Subscribe now!

WHY IS AN EDl’TflllMAl’.

The modern newspaper is an inanimate thing in its-
news columns, reflecting events and other person‘sl
thoughts, without a chance to speak for itself. Only inl
the editorial column may it put in a word of its own.
Such a rule is necessary that the readers may gain a,
more or lose; accurate idea of the material displayed byl
the paper, The presentation of “the Whole truth, and;
nothing but the truth, so help me—~" is the aim, and thcl
dream, of every newspaper, whether a college weekly or}
a big city daily The personal element of the writer must l
he kept out. The commentaries that spring to mind must l
be forgotten; the story must be purified of all contamtI
noting opinion. l

In the editorial columns the paper finds relief for its
intense desire to speak. It may shout to the audience
of readers, or it may whisper; it may deliver a fine ora—
tion in print, or a coldly logical argument—there is no
restriction. The editorial remains always a short speech
in which the paper expresses itself as an animate, think-
ing being to the readers. Because of this, the editorial
columns, more than any other feature of a paper, reflect
the true personality and character of the paper.

“The truth is that science is the supreme instrument
of adjustment of human life to human life conditions,
and that life goes on solely by reason of the adequacy
of such adaptations. . . . It is us imbecilic to depreciate
science as to decry labour or capital.”

—-Albert G. Keller.

“The acquaintances wc form among books often outlast

of literature, I personally prefer a good novel, or a group
of essays to comfort me, ~~Anonymous.

Turned about and spoke:

Benjamin Ball Freud, Professor of
Organic Chemistry, was born in Chi»
cage, February 12, 1884. His entire
education was received in this city.
He attended the Chicago grade schools
and later the Jefferson. now the Carl
Schurz, High School. He received the
Sc, B. in Chemistry from the Uni-
versity of Chicago in 1004, being
graduated with departmental as well
as Junior and Senior College honors.
In 1916 he received the Oh. E. from
Armour Institute of Tecl‘molouy, and
in 192? the University of Chicago con»
feri'ed upon him the degree ol‘ Doctor
of Philosophy.
