COLLEGE-BRF **** ******************** Columbia Recoard. "Co1legie-bred Editors" is the subject of a column of interesting comment and information from the graceful pen of Dr. George Mellen, Pblished in the Knoxville Sentinel and the. Chattanooga News. From a discussion of the depart ments of "journalism"' now main taineid in several of the institutions of higher learning, including Co lumbia uo-iversity and the State un versities of Virginia, Missouri and Kansas-the value of which he seems to think at best dubious, -editors be ing born rather than made--Dr. Mellen passes on to the increasing number of college-bred men to be foua-lda in newspaper work nowadays. Casaally surveying the field, he finds most of the editors now engaged in moulding ' public opinion in the South to be holders of college di plomas or at least to have been for a time in college. At the heaid of the Mobile Regis ter is Erwin Craighead, who was! graduated from the 1University of Nashville and thereafter from Leip-: sic. Major J. C. Hemphill, who has recently left the Charleston News and Courier, after thirty years, to become the editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, is a graiduate of I Erskine college, Due West. Frank P. Glass, long of the Montgomery Advertiser, who a few weeks ago broadened his field by taking over an interest in the Birmingham News ,and assuming its editorship, names Princeton as his alma mater. James R. Gray of the Atlanta Journal Clarq Howell of the Constitution:! and Pleasant A. Stoviall of the Sa vannah Press are all graiduates of Georgia institutions. Gideon H. Baskette of the Nashville Banner and -Josephus Daniels of the Raleigh News and Observer were among those whose college courses were cut I short by the War Between the See- 1: tims. The list, as Dr. Mellen says, is capable of extension. Dr. Mellen mentions some of the editors and other newspaper workers of his own State who have enjoyed ! college advantages, add& a moment'sj. thought, suggested by his words, brings up the idea that probably in * no Southern State would one find a larger proportion of the newspa- I per workers to be college-bred men! than in South Carolina. T'his leads idiirectly to some attempt at confirm ing the hypothesis so raised. As one -tells the men~ off at random, even in, the deplorable absence of any writ ten data on the subject, the idea;: strengthens into conviction. A few minutes of memory-searching 'suffices for the compilation of a list which, with all the minor inaccuracies itI may exhibit, is at the least eatirely adequate to show that the day has passed in this State when an educa tion "at the ease'' was considered a1together sufEcient for a newspa per career, in either the weekly field or that of the dailies. Starting at :Charleston-anld it is] to be remembered no effort 'has been made to do more tham list men of< whom the writer happened to knowI something-one finds Robert Lathian, newly promoted to the editorship o rhe News and Courier, a former st-u dont ,but not a graduate of Erskine, 11 1:'i1' several of his assistants are ] also college men, State News Editor S.

It is presented merely 'or what ieterest it may have as in licating the number of college-bred nen doing newspaper work in the tate. Of course nothing said here n is to be construed as an argument hat such training is absolutely nee ssary to success. Some of the nost worth-y and influential men the tate press 'has ever had neither had ior needed diplomas to attest their ,questioned learning as well as heir native ability. Newspaper ork is in itself a liberal education. It is not to be idisputed that a pass ge through the -gradations of an ffie is the finest of schooling, as ar as it goes-and it goes a long vay. The setting of type has been :nown to make finished and profi :ient stylists. It is .not, therefore, matter of accident t-bat sonme men vho became renowned in the edito -ial chair acquired practically their chole education at the case or the Mairial desk. .
