Progress says of college journalism: "The college papers experience no little difficulty in obtaining sufficient matter for publication, and some of them even offer prizes for best contributions. It is hard to see why this should be so. There can be no practice of more after use to college men than exercise in composition in the English language, and it is extraordinary that the majority of them do not try their hands at it. One would suppose that the college papers would have vastly more communications sent to them than they could possibly find room for, but the case is exactly the opposite. Other papers are constantly flooded with voluntary contributions, but in college, where it would be presumed all the students would know how to write and would want to write, there is evidenced an astonishing unwillingness to put pen to paper."
