PAPER CELEBRATES
ANNIVERSARY. TODAY
was changed from STATE COLLEGIAN
to THE STATE COLLEGIAN. The Col
lege seal was placed between the
words STATE and COLLEGIAN, at the
top of the front page, as it is now.
Twelve, fourteen, and sixteen page
issues all during the College year
1909-10 forced the change, with the
first issue the next year, under the
editorship of C. MacC. Breitinger, to
a four page, five column make-up, with
the page measuring twenty inches by
twelve and one-half.
I,Nlith the change in format, head
lines immediately became a fact in
the paper, although they were very
small, and only a few were used.
Football stories were practically the
only material receiving headlines sim
ilar to the ones used now as far as
size was concerned.' Only a very few
pictures were used. .
"Penn State" Becomes Official
',On November 12, 1911, when Penn
State beat the University of Pennsyl
vania in football by a 6-to-0 score ,the
COLLEGIAN devoted the entire front
page to the game, with five columns,
four inches deep, occupied by an
action picture borrowed from the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. From
that date, every important football
game appropriated practically the
whole first page.
The present name, PENN . STATE
COLLEGIAN, was first used on the
paper on September 28, 1911. The
change was pointed out and explained
in an editorial stating that "'Penn
State'.is but a little longer than 'State'
and -so much more definite 'and
pressive that we advocate its. use in
all cases ... the familiar title of the
College from now on will be 'Penn
State'."
The. change to the present seven
column width• size of the C91..v.04tr
was made with the last issue' of the
1915 College year. To accommodate
the:larger size page, the 'paper - was
for some time published outiide'Strite
College, and issued on Wednesday
morning. The first SUMMER COL
LEGIAN, published that summer, was
of four column - width,. and - was in
charge of A. 0. Vorse 'l6, who was
later head of the College department
of publicity.
Until the time when the change to
a seven column width was made, the
paper was set entirely by hand. When
the change was made, it was neces
sary to start printing the paper in
Altoona, as there were no • linotype
machines here. The issues were
printed there until .December, 1916,
when the plant of ,the Nittani Print
ing and Publishing company installed
machines capable of setting up a full.
sized newspaper within the,'requirmi
time. Since then the COLLEGIAN has
been printed here.
With the first issue of the regular
College year in September, 1915, Penn
State students first saw what is now
the flag of the COLLEGIAN, Set cen
tered at the' top of the front page,
with the College seal centered within
it. All during the years 1915 t 0.1920,
the paper continued a full-size weekly,
with six and eight page issues most of
1919 and 1920.
.In• September, 1920, under the edit
orship of F. H. Leuschnef '2l, and the
business managership of R. L. Parker
'2l the COLLEGIAN was changed to, its
present semi-weekly status. It was
published at that time on Tuesday and
Friday mornings, and since then has
been unaltered mechanically with the
exception of approximately fifteen is
sues during the College year 1921,
when a temporary shortage of funds
forced the publication of a six, column
paper, of four pages semi-weekly.
Ths change to the Monday and
Thursday night distributiOn date VVil3
made this year in the interest of ef
ficiency of circulation, as well as
timeliness of news. Only once before
in its history, 1928-29, has the
COLLEGIAN distributed a pictorial sup
plement similar to the Collegiate Di
gest now circulated with every Thurs
day night's issue. Subscription rates
for the COLLEGIAN were $1.25 per year
while it was a weekly, while since its
inception as a semi-weekly, the price
has always been $2.50. .
Waring 'lB To Play
In Tyrone on Monday
"Lcical Boy I.liices Good!"
Tyrone newspapers are dragging
out this well-known headline again
this week, as plans are being con
cluded for the appearance of Fred
Waring, one of Penn State's best
known alumni, and his complete
broadcasting orchestra at a dance in
Tyrone Monday night. The dance will
be the climax of the neighboring bor
lough's N. It. A. celebration.
Waring, who started his nationally
known band while a student here in
1918, can match success stories with
luny of today's returning alumni. His
orchestra has been a favorite among
dance-lovers for the past ten. years,
and he is at present engaged to broad
cast weekly over a national network
by a large cigarette company.
