JOURNAL The Journal, Wofford ' s literary magazine, this year celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, following this theme throughout its five issues. First published in 1889 under the editorship of such men as Senator E. D. Smith, Dr. W. P. Few and the late Bishop E. D. Mouzon, the November issue of the fiftieth an- niversary year contained contributions from Senator Smith and Dr. Few; and throughout the succeeding issues articles by prominent alumni writers were featured. J At the State Colle- giate Press Association convention held at Cle mson College in November, articles having appeared in The Journal won three first places, outdistancing all other publications in the state in this respect. J Besides the usual run of short stories, poems and essays, the contents of this year ' s issues included a greater variety of interviews, sketches, features and pictures than ever before. 5 Thus the editor attempted to mod- ernize the appearance and content of the maga- zine, retaining at the same time the true literary merit of the publication.

BURT MITCHELL Business Manager Cannon (Features), Garrett and Purdy (Sports) and Garlington (Research) in front of Carlisle Hall. The Old Gold and Black is Wofford ' s weekly newspaper, published by and for the students of the college. The paper, until 1935 was published spasmodically, usually from ten to fifteen issues yearly. In 1935 the Publications Board took over the control of publications and issues appeared regularly at two-week intervals. For the school year 1938-39 the paper was published weekly as an experiment and this year it has continued on that schedule as a permanent policy. J The Old Gold and Black is a valuable news agency for the campus and the community, containing news stories, feature articles, sports write- ups, editorials, and gossip. It is eagerly read each Saturday by the students. The paper frequently carries illustrations. It is printed on substantial paper, and is usually well written and edited. 5 The paper is financed by local and national adver- tising, by student activities funds, and by subscription funds.
