COLLEGE
MEN
ABOVE ALL OTHER PEOPLE, CANNOT
POSSIBLY
FIND IT WORTH WHILE
to read any other newspaper, than one which
is sound, sane, and accurate. The readers of
sensational newspapers have minds full of a
jumble of untrue, useless and degrading
ideas, which prevent them from ever seeing
' things as they really are, from taking advan-
tage of the best opportunities in life, and
from making the most of their careers. The
proof of this is abundant and conclusive.
The superb merits of THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE as a daily newspaper for intelligent
and aspiring men grow out of the strength,
accuracy and decency of the whole newspa-
per. When it is said, that there is no other
daily in the United States, which is better for
a library and a family, little more need be
said on this point.
Men .connected with the Associated
Press, who are the best judges of news, and
managers of clipping bureaus whose profits
depend on the number of original matters
they can find in the newspapers from which
they clip, unite in commending the TRIBUNE
as one of the few great newspapers of the
United States.
The TRIBUNE has a college page, once a
week. It is especially strong in business and
social news, discussions of public affairs,
literary and critical features, and foreign
correspondence, and is especially free from
hysterics, sensation, and detailed reports of
immoral occurrences, although it invariably
prints the actual news.
The Illustrated Supplement on Sunday is
the cream of the week. Beautiful Half-tone
pictures, which The Tribune, at great ex-
pense, was the first American newspaper to
print successfully, adorn nearly every page.
