Can't Kill the College Paper
Confidently Says 1912 'Rag'
"In colleges and universities today, the college paper
is the one institution which cannot be killed."
The October 4, 1912 issue of The Daily Nebraskan
was positive on this point and earnest in its explanation of
the newspaper's place at the University.
"When the last freshman has been hazed, when the last
sophomore has been flunked, when

Haymes will be shown at 3 p. m,

the last junior has made his prom
enade, and when the last lone
some senior is finally married,
historians will commence to
search for something to say in
favor of those who at one time
held a place in the destinies of the
race. They wil lexamine archives
to find any possible gems of liter
ature. They will dig about the
ruins of universities and colleges
in any attempt to discover any
good traits and characteristics of
the former inhabitants. They will
work for long years to fnd cause
for giving the once respected stu
dent a place in history.
"BUT THEY will search in
vain, their efforts will be wasted,
until some day the last discour
aged historian will find a disin-tegrated-looking
volume, clumsy
in form and poorly printed, hardly
distinguishable from the clinging
debris and he will hold in his
hand a file of the college paper. At
one glance the heart of the old fel
low will commence to jolt a little
faster, the second look will call
forth an exultant cough, and at
the third turn of a page the place
of the student in history will be
secure.
"In colleges and universities to
day the college paper is the one
institution which cannot be killed.
It may be on the verge of bank
ruptcy, its promoters may be ex
pelled from school and the editor
may have to run to preserve his
life, and yet the old paper still
comes out on time. The students
may not subscribe for it, the ad
vertisers may refuse to give
longer to charity ,and the paper
may be the object of universal
ridicule, but there is always some
fellow who will work all night,
flunk in classes, and give his last
cent to keep the paper alive.
"OF COURSE college papers
have their fat years like other in
stitutions. Their editors do not al
ways need a shave, the business
manager is occasionally seen in a
new suit ,and frequently a body of
students will be induced to sub
scribe quite generally. Sometimes
the college paper is even in good
repute. Its poetry is endured for a
season with no show of violence,
its swollen ideas concerning its
own importance are charitably accepted.
