Excerpt: "The desire to write for publication is one which inheres
strongly in every human breast. From the proficient college graduate,
storming the gates of the high-grade literary magazines, to the raw
schoolboy, vainly endeavoring to place his first crude compositions in
the local newspapers, the whole intelligent public are today seeking
expression through the printed page, and yearning to behold their
thoughts and ideals permanently crystallized in the magic medium of
type. But while a few persons of exceptional talent manage eventually
to gain a foothold in the professional world of letters rising to
celebrity through the wide diffusion of their art, ideals, or
opinions; the vast majority, unless aided in their education by
certain especial advantages, are doomed to confine their expression to
the necessarily restricted sphere of ordinary conversation. To supply
these especial educational advantages which may enable the general
public to achieve the distinction of print, and which may prevent the
talented but unknown author from remaining forever in obscurity, has
arisen that largest and foremost of societies for literary education
The United Amateur Press Association."
