EDITORIALS 'NCE more June is here with its roses, bringing glad- ness to some, regrets to others 3 soon another class will be graduated 1 and will begin a new life to succeed or fail. No doubt all would make more of their oppor- tunities and accomplish more if they were to go thru the same work again. Each one has had four years of hard work, and besides the lessons learned from books, he has learned many lessons in pluck and perseverance. Doubt- less many have been discouraged at times and thought they never would be able to get their lessons, but by hard work and perseverance and the teacher's aid they have won the battle. Commencement from the underclass- i rf. i l I '5-. ff' men 's views amounts to but little. They are always glad when it is over for if they are successful in their work it brings them nearer the desired goal. As they advance they realize more and more what it means. And finally when they have completed the required work and have received their di- ploma, joyfully and yet regretfully they bid farewell to the scenes of so many happy hours, each going out with a new purpose and aim in his life. May each one of the class of nineteen hundred and eleven meet with success in whatever he tries to do. Soon the last number of the seventh vol- ume of The Forum will be laid away on the shelf. Gladly and yet regretfully we lay aside the responsibility of editing the paper. May the next year's Forum staff have unlimited success with the editor-

'KA Newspaper-A sheet of paper printed and distributed at short in- tervals, conveying intelligence of passing events. This definition might be employed for a newspaper at the time of the Boston-News- Letter of 1704, one of the earliest of estab- lished Newspapers in America, but in this modern age, such a combination of words can hardly cover a description of an insti- tution which has reached a place of such importance, as has the newspaper. It is interesting to note the evolutionary process, which has led up to present day journalism. The modern newspaper is not the product of a day. To the ancients, in- deed, must we look for the original, and to Rome belongs the honor, tho her paper serv-ed the purpose merely of bea.ring to lf, he MA Daily Newspaper the imperial capital messages of peace and war. Germany was the founder of modern European journalism, while France, Eng- land and Russia followed closely in the new enterprise with indifferent results. But we of today are more concerned with the modern paper. What is found in the newspaper that makes it an important factor in the life of the world today? It procures us the news while it is hot, keeps up the interest at all costs: even, if it is necessary to send the reporter to a foi eign country to interview a beleagured general whom his own country is power- less to reach, or to hire a special detective to pursue the runaway thief, or if nothing new is to be had, to hunt up something too old to be remembered, and present it to us in a new garb. From an educational standpoint, modern journalism must handle items of interest, in the realms of science, art, morals, theol- ogy and politics, to say nothing of minor subjects too numerous to mention, until it has become the mirror of the times, re- flecting the activities of the whole world.
