he did On this day June 17, 1968 The Atlanta Constitution enters its next 100 years of publication. On this page are four accounts of the Pulitzer Prize this newspaper has received since the awards were first given in 1917. Grayson Kirk, president of Columbia University, has this to say concerning the administration of the prizes: "The first Joseph Pulitzer, in the fullness of a useful life, devoted his great energy and ability to the task of making people think. Today in this half century of the Pulitzer Prizes after his death, his influence continues to kindle creative efforts of men and women through the medium of the prizes which bear his name." The stature of a newspaper is often, the measure of its influence. And the leadership offered by a newspaper in sound reasoning and power to influence public opinion in what the newspaper believes to be the right direction also measures its success.

We would hope this newspaper and its spokesmen will be worthy of recognition in the years to come. We hope more we will continue to stimulate people to think. 0 U'jv Tr(viiirinn "a nn nils i. a meeting of the U.S. tomrnis Balance, and to author Bernard ramp 's sion on Civil Rights in San Francisco Monday when in- Malamud for his best nam.
