Originally printed to fill the need, for a campus news-dis penser upon the death of the `Free Lance,' a semi-literary publication that in its last years appeared' at odd intervals, the STATE COLLEGIAN, as it was called, quickly grew to eight, ten, and twelve pages. 3 Special Issues Published Five men were instrumental' in or ganizing and publishing the first issue of the naper when they realized, as is pointed out in the first editorial, that a successor to the Free Loner must be found "to lo:ep us in the rank of colleges." Editors of the publication were W. B. Hoke 'O5, Alex Hart jr. 'O5, T. F. Foltz 'O6, and F. H. Brew ster 'O7, listed in that order upon the masthead, while W. C. • Hackathorne, 'O6 Was business manager. . During the-first year of 'ifs pliblica . - tion. the paper carried nothing that could be distinguished by the:name of headlines. Most issues were eight pages, measuring eight and one-half by eleven . and one-half inches, and divided into three columns to the page. During the first year, the format was not changed at all, exo2pt that three issues, Pennsylvania Day,- December 1, Lincoln Day, February 16, and the Commencement number, June 13, were bound in heavy paper covers. Paper Enlarged In 1909 The first two cover's carried the seal of the College in the center of the front cover and it has remained on the paper ever since, with the ex ception of the last issue of 1904-05, and the first five numbers 'the next year.

Written hurriedly, hastily, first in he room of Prof. John IL Frizzell, of he public speaking • division, and later in the students' room in the 'old' Old Main, and printed on a small press in the Nittuny Printing company building, the first papers were little more than 'glorified' pamphlets. But it was Penn State's first authentic collegiate newspaper. After the construction of the new printing building on the site of the former one, the editorial and business staffs of the Paper had their offices in two ten-by-ten rooms in the build ing, inadequately lighted and poorly equipped. In these quarters they con tinued publication of the COLLEGIAN until Old Main was reconstructed. Through interested friends on the faculty, provision was made in the plans of ..the new administration building to house, and thereby to give final official recognition.to the• COLLEGIAN. This inaugurates the fourth year in which COLLEGIAN staffs have labored to give the College com plete local news coverage from its location in'Old Main.
