Fraternity pledging, football, a Glee Club--the news could easily run in this issue of The Collegian. But the date at across the top gives it away: November 25, 1914. It's been nearly 100 years since nine men put together the first issue of a newspaper called The Collegian. Running only four pages long, it listed its office as a dorm room, and a yearlong subscription could be had for $1, or about $22 today.
1914 was a big year for the University of Richmond. The school moved from its downtown location to the current campus, Westhampton College was founded and in November, students published the first issue of The Collegian, making the university's weekly, student-run newspaper nearly 99 years old.
