We are glad you are here, and we hope you will let us be of service to you in any and every way possible. That’s what a newspaper is for—to serve people, and we think that perhaps there are many things we can do for you.
This first issue is for you, newcomers, but we don’t want you to feel that the acquaintance ends there. That is only the beginning. We always have room for anything you want printed. If you lose a book, as Freshmen often do—for there are so many of them, we are glad to print a notice for you. If you want ot announce a class meeting, just let us know. And when you like something a great deal, or when you dislike it heartily, we have a special column in which you may express your own opinions. Our Open Forum column is for just such things as that.
Every member of the Salemite staff is eager for you to call upon her, in relation not only to the newspaper, but to any of the little every-day problems that confront you. We know that things are strange at first, and we want to make every day full of pleasure for you. The name of every member of the staff is printed just above this greeting. Come and get acquainted for, as we said before, we are glad to see you at Salem.
From page 2 of The Salemite, Salem College’s newspaper, Sept. 12, 1923
