Reflections of the theme can be seen throughout the annual. Although it was desired to depict the year ' s activities in a modern setting, the staff has endeavored not to become futuristic. Agoin the Onondagan selected the Polygraphic Corpora- tion of America in New York City to print the annual. The photography was assigned to the Zamsky Studio, Philadelphia. To Professor Bently Rack, faculty editorial advisor, and Dr. Frank Hutchinson, faculty busmess advisor, the 1939 Onondagan owes a great deal of appreciation.

Chester Honsen Marked by superlatives and a host of innovations, The Doily Orange paused to celebrate its thirty-fifth birthday and, moving into its thirty- sixth year of publication, it now ranks as one of America ' s five ieoding college dailies. A thirty-two page edition published on Dec. I to commemorate its anniversary is believed to have been one of the largest student-edited papers in the United States. The issue contained over 90,000 words of reading text and scores of illustrations marking the progress of Syracuse University since The Daily Orange was founded in 1903. On Nov. 12, within three hours after Syracuse University ' s first football victory over Colgate in 14 years, an extra edition of the Doily Orange appeared on the streets carrying the paper ' s largest banner headlines. More than 28,000 copies of that edition were sent to alumni over the world, establishing what is believed to be a single edition circulation record. Two extra editions were published, the one to mark the Colgate victory and another on November 5 to cover special sessions of the Empire Press Association meeting in Syracuse. installation of on engraving plant in The Castle expanded the use of pictures to an unprecedented degree. A photographer was added to the staff to illustrate news and feature stories with campus shots. Scientific opinion polling developed under the supervision of experts in the Maxwell School of Citizenship gave the Doily Orange a unique inno- vation in college journalism. Students were polled on critical national prob- lems in elaborate polling quotas. The Doily Orange poll picked Lehman to beat Dewey in the New York State gubernatorial election within .092 of one per cent of complete election returns. Other polls were conducted on Roosevelt favor, the CIO-AF of L dispute, American foreign policy, and federal pump priming. Dr. Herman C. Beyle, polling expert of the Maxwell school faculty, aided materially in the survey. •If • V ' f? , I lijCS p l .:- :iWJW»
