The Dickinsonian Overview

The Dickinsonian is the official student-led print and online newspaper of Dickinson College. The paper was founded in 1872. It was first issued by two literary societies and was distributed monthly. The paper was typically eight pages in length and devoted to literary articles, nothing like the contemporary newspapers and The Dickinsonian of today. It was founded “for the purpose of advancing the interests of the institution, and uniting more closely the Alumni to their Alma Matter; and promoting Science, Art, Literature and Religion” (Sellers 271). The literary paper was furnished by the faculty, administration, alumni, and a few others. As time passed, the student body organized, edited, and produced the new Dickinsonian without the strict supervision of the administration. The original literary societies that had given birth to the past Dickinsonian were not content with this transition and added The Dickinsonian Literary Monthly. The Dickinsonian however had become more of a news sheet that eventually was issued weekly. “This more frequent issue furnished the opportunity for both college news and the literary product of the student body” (Morgan 432). The paper was diminished from 1879 to 1883 due to “fraternity politics in the choice of editors” (432). Management also contributed to a similar problem in 1923. In 1925 the paper returned and continued to be issued weekly, consisting of about four to eight pages in length. It was greatly supported by both the administration and entire student body. By 1934 The Dickinsonian was well situated as a credible newspaper, being recognized by major newspapers in near cities. It addressed the college’s political, social and academic issues. It was a way for students to stay informed of the current news and a way for them to express there reactions and feelings. The Dickinsonian between 1931 and 1934 portrays many of the issues and grievances student wanted to address.
