HANGING TOGETHER

Almost a century and a half ago Benjamin Franklin made his famous remark on the importance of "hanging together", and the remark, together with the "Saturday Evening Post", has come down from that day to this. This afternoon, with the same end in view, the Intercollegiate Newspaper Association will discuss the problems before it, and the means to be adopted in solving them.

The purposes of the meeting, as stated, mention first of all the formation of uniform editorial policy among College Newspapers. This, as the need of unity most obvious to the average reader, heads the list; but beyond this, and beyond all the particular needs of cooperation, there should be a general spirit of fellowship between men and organizations working at the same problems, with the same end in view. It is this spirit which helped bring success to the men grouped with Franklin about the historic table. And it is this same spirit which is the ultimate aim of the present conference. To the representatives of all the newspapers which meet this afternoon in its Sanctum, the Crimson extends its heartiest welcome.
