The New York Philharmonic was
founded on April 22, 1842, by a
group of public-spirited citizens
who proposed the establishment of
“a large and permanent society.”
Its object should be ‘‘the study and
rendering of symphonies, overtur
es, and other clasical music in such
a manner as to cultivate a more
general knowledge and a more cor
rect public tase.”
The first concert was held on
December 7, 1842, in the Apollo
Rooms on lower Broadway. The
Philharmonic’s first conductor and
president was Ureli Coreli Hill,
Connecticut musician.
In 1928 the New York Philhar
monic merged with the New York
Symphony. Since then its guest
conductors have included Igor
Stravinsky, Serge Prokoffieff, Sir
Thomas Beecham, Bruno Walter,
Otto Klemperer, Richard Strauss,
Ossip Gabrilowitsch and Arthur
Honegger.
In the past century the New
York Philharmonic has presented
the world premieres of many fam
ous works notably Dvorak’s “New
World” Symphony in 1893, a per
formance attended by the composer
who was then teaching in the Unit
ed States.
The New York Philharmonic con
certs are heard over CBS Sun
days, 3:00 to 4.30 P. M.. EST.
Place And Purpose
Of The College
Newspaper
(Collegiate Press)
If we should go back to the ori
gin of the college newspaper we
would find that it-was, in general,
the same as that of the commercial
or professional newspaper. The
college newspaper wa born because
there were college students who
wanted to know what the people
on this campus were doing, and
there were other college students
who were willing to work at the
job of telling them about it. There
was a need for a central source of
student information and opinion
which was not being provided in
any other way, and there were
students willing to provide it.
After its beginning, the college
newspaper inevitably assumed
rather quickly and by imitation
many of the practices and policies
which the professional newspaper
acquired over a long period ot
time and in a natural way. In
other words, it came to have a
multiple place and purpose. And
in so far a the additional functions
met real needs among its readers
and were not me~e apings of the
professional press, they have bean
justified. The point is that there
is today no one acknowledged
exclusive purpose of the college
newspaper any more than there is
an acknowledged single purpose
for the commerciol newspaper.
One thing is certain, however,
and that is: the college newpaper
a student activity. Apparently,
also, it remains today, along with
intramurals and forensics, one of
the few most complete student
activities. This may seem surpris
ing, in view of the wide publicity
annually given to some cases of
censorship and other conflicts be
tween college editors and others.
However, a group of student lead
ers at Stanford University, assist
ed by Prof. Harold C. Hand and
THE WEST GEORGIAN
sponsored by the Asociated Stu
dents of Stanford University, re
cently made a national survey of
campus activities including the col
lege newspaper. Most significant
to me among the result of this
survey, which covered 90 campuses
and one-third of the college and
university enrollment of the Unit
ed States, was that more than 80
per cent of the editors reported
that they had no faculty assistance
and no form of faculty control.
Frankly, I think it a sad state of
affairs that our colleges offer so
little assistance to students in their
activities, but such seems to he
the case.
With this in mind, I propose
that if we are going to find any
new way of stating the multiple
place and purpose of the college
newspaper, we try to do so from
this point of departure: that the
college newspaper is a student
activity on hundreds of campuses
in the United States.
There is nothing new—nothing
original from me—in the philoso
phy, principles, or basic interpre
tation from which I proceed in
defining what I believe should be
the “overall” function of the col
lege newspaper. It has been ex
plained and decribed in hundreds
of different ways by educators of
the modern school for a number of
years. It just happens I have
never myself heard anyone use
it before a group of college news
paper men and women.
In order for you to understand
that I am projecting toward a
somewhat ideal state, I’ll have to
say first that colleges and univer
sities on the whole have adopted
no such attitude as their proposal
assumes toward their college news
papers, and that neither have the
advisers nor student editors. Stu
dent activities in general and
throughout the years have been
first opposed, then tolerated, and
finally regulated by our institu
tions of higher learning. They
have not been made a part of a
unified program of learning eith
er by the colleges or by the stu
dents.
Now our psychologists and edu
cators today tell us two things
particularly important to our brief
discussion today: first, that we
learn by doing, and, second, that
we learn life attitudes, as well
as such skills as that of writing
a good news lead, by the way in
which we do things. In other
words, we are learning good or bad
attitudes or skills all the time.
Furthermore, we happen to live
in a democratic country. So far
a we know, graduates of our col
leges and universities are going
to practice life whether they
practice journalism or not—in a
democratic society for a long time
to come.
