THE SCRIPTURE HE end of its second year of existence finds that scarcely reverent child of the lively arts of journalism, The Scripture, promoted to the dignity of an institution. For surely it can claim that dignity when faculty subscribers, neglected on Nlonday, plaintively remark about said neglecft on Wediiesday. The Scripture in the First year of its life was entirely the prod- ucft of the students. It was written, typed, CLIC into the stencils, mimeographed, and punched together by ardent neophytes. This year its printing processes passed into the capable hands of the Saunders Studio Press. The paper sacrificed a close per- sonal relationship to its student crew but gained in legibility and in aesthetic appeal. As the year progressed the weekly became the oflicial organ of campus events. Dances, lecftures, and desert trips, anything that might be reported in a dignified and leisurely fashion, found its way into its pages. The strange disappearance of Kim, the ad- vent of Ann Elizabeth Havens, and the browsing room fire occurred much too suddenly for The S cri pture. Any thing that had the temerity to happen between the Thursday morning deadline and Moiiday morning without proper and authorita- tive prognostication simply did not exist as News. Such omissions were disturbing to the journalist but tended to produce a paper less highly stylized and less restridfted in sub- jecft than the conventional newspaper. This same lack of form- ality made it possible to solicit all manner of literary contribu- tions Hom Haculty and students, and thereby the paper gained innnitely. 27
