Summary/Abstract: Echinox, the students’ journal written in three languages (Romanian, Hungarian and German) in Cluj has been published for 53 years. This study aims to find possible answers to the title question from all the three viewpoints by examining the jubilee edition of 1978. The main focus of the research falls on the writings remembering the starting days of the journal included in this merged issue. Besides these writings I make use of an interview with Franz Hodjak to study the German pages, and the reflective writings of the contemporary newspapers to examine the Hungarian pages. We can conclude that some people consider Echinox a story of success, while others think about it as a failure or a series of failures.
