Changes in "The Dartmouth"

With the beginning of the seventy-first year of The Dartmouth—the forty-fourth year as an uninterrupted publication—the conservative and time-honored form of that paper has been changed. The magazine form of the publication has been abandoned, the paper appearing in the true newspaper form and issued thrice weekly instead of semiweekly. Hereafter the paper will appear before seven on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings.

The Dartmouth is one of the very oldest college publications in America. Established in 1839 as a monthly magazine published by the senior class, it has gradually lost its magazine features and replaced them by those of the modern newspaper. In 1866 it became a fortnightly publication, and since then no year has passed without the publication of The Dartmouth. From 1875 to 1879 it was a weekly, but then resumed its bi-weekly publication to continue until 1895, when it became weekly, published by a board of editors elected on a competitive basis from the whole College. In 1907 it became a semi-weekly.
