Several replies have been received, showing great interest in the reunion. F. T. Vasey, superintendent of schools at Mason City, la., says in his letter: Urge All to Come. "Twenty years! Tempus fugit! "Twenty years ago. Can it be true? How do you look now? What are you doing? How do you feel? How powerful Buckner's speeches must be by this time. How many "Ivy Days" have you had since that time. Where are those 170 people. Let's gather again, 1904. "The class of 1904 will round up twenty years in June. We are to be the honor class. It's our good time. Come one, come all. Let's rally 'round Miss Pyrtle's banner. Will you. be there? Sure. Drive the car. Bring the family." H .E. Bradford, principal of the University School of Agriculture and professor of agricultural education, is one of the representatives of the class on the general roundup com mittee. In the following words he urges his classmates to return: Buckner to Speak. "I am pleased to learn that Emory Buckner will be the alumni day ora tor at the roundup. He is one of the outstanding graduates of the Uni versity, and will undoubtedly have a real message for us. The class of 1904 should make an unusual effort to attend since this is the twentieth anniversary of the graduation." "I am sure we are going to have a great alumni roundup," writes R. A. Bickford. "The committee is planning to have the class very busy during the entire reunion with two or three "get togethers" for the class membership, besides all the usual alumni doings." Miss Mary Hamer, of Lincoln, an active member of the class, writes: Look Forward to Reunion. "Twenty years have not cooled the enthusiasm of the class of 1904. Lin coln members are looking forward eagerly to seeing all their classmates back on the campus. Those who knew Emory Buckner in college days and that means all of his contemporar ies feel pride in welcoming him back as alumni orator.

The Ag campus is beginning to show evidence of the many plans that have been formulated within the past few weeks. The large tent, wheih covers the large 70 by 110 foot dance floor, was swung into place this afternoon, under the direction of Art Greenwood and Gordon Morgan, former chautauqua tent-raisers. The large exhibit tent will go up Thurs day afternoon. Mr. Greenwood hopes to hive the campus appear as a tented colony by Friday noon. The "Galloping Goose," a bucking Ford, will be another novelty which will appear at Farmers fair both in the parade and in the afternoon when it wilF be given a chance for exhibi tion riding. This will undoubtedly prove a large attraction to the excitement-caters, but it is doubtful if visitors will be allowed to attempt to ride the perilous "iron horse."

DESCRIBES FIELD OF MODERN JOURNALISM Prof. M. M. Fogg Tells Fresh man of Relation of News paper to Society. "The newspaper may be called the Bible of democracy. Journalism is a service to society and the gov ernment, and one should not go into it for personal gain' Prof. M. M. Fogg, director of the School of Jour nalism, told freshman lecture stu dents of the College of Arts and Sci ences, Monday evening and Tuesday morning. "Journalism, Its Relation to Society and Democracy," was the subject of his lecture. "We are all gossips," he said. "We are all after the news what has happened. Never as in our day, here in the United States, has soci ety been so insistent in its. search for news. Should Give New. "To tell the news, tell the truth, iand to interpret tne trutn is xne mgn v. j . i .... mot.;.. v Virt profession of journalism in a democ racy today is rendering to society. The journalist is the historian of yes terday. More progress has been made in journalism in the 'last half-century than has been made in the eighteen previous centuries." Development of journalism in America may be divided into three periods, he said. The first, the pe riod of opinion, lasted until about the middle of the last century. News papers printed during that time were filled with personal opinions rather than news. Party politics ran high. The period of news broke about the time of the civil war. People wanted news from the battlefields instead of personal opinions. New Field Is Broadened. A third period, that of a broaden ing of news, came about the time that Joseph Pulitzer bought the New York World, in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Previously, news had been written for the upper strata of society. Pulitzer wrote for all classes, and his lead was followed by such newspaper men as William Ran dolph Hearst and James Gordon Ben nett. "The modern newspaper is nothing less than a miracle when one realizes that the ' 2 cents paid for it would probably not buy the paper neces sary in printing it," Professor Fogg said. The commercialized side of the newspaper, advertising, is rerpon sible for this, he explained. Ha Three Tendencies. There are three tendencies in modern journalism, the speaker said. They are to commercialize a newspa ( Continued on Page 4.) PRICE 5 CENTS COMPLETE FIRST ROUND OF MEET Alpha Tau Omega, Xi Psi Phi, and Beta Theta Pi Win Final Games.
