Changes in the Masthead
For the first time in eighteen years our University opened this year without the daily advent of the campus newspaper that had grown out of the infancy of the days of the “Ariel” to a place among the first college newspapers of the country. In those years the Daily had so identified itself with campus interests that it had become part of the essence of college life at Minnesota. Alumni look back with affection and not a little pride upon the time when they “heeled for the Daily.” In their under-graduate days, and up to the present time, the editorial staff consisted of men, elected from the student body. Until the fall of 1918, the Daily progressed under the management of men students singularly fit to direct its output. With war, however, come changes in the masthead. At the beginning of the fall semester, the publication was without its elected administration, since those chosen last year for editorial positions had gone into the service. Yet, knowing the value of the bond that such an organ exercises among the student body, and seeing the good of it for a student body that is this year more than ever in need of a common bond, those who remained of last year’s staff could not stand back, resigned to an abnormal situation, created by obstacles that could be overcome. In three weeks of planning and organization, those obstacles have been overcome. Outlines have become solid, and we become articulate. It is our pleasure to welcome those who are new upon the campus, and to greet again those with whom we have worked and played in the past. To the students of the Army Training Camp and to the members of the Naval Reserve Unit, Minnesota extends her hand. We want you to become a part of us, to share our ideals and our interests, our work and our play, to help us to carry on the spirit that is Minnesota, as you embody the spirit that is America. For the loyal support given us by the entire student body, we cannot say enough, but in our service to the University we hope to convey better than in words, the gratitude we feel, and the confidence which that support has given us."
