The Collegian is the student newspaper of the University of Richmond. Founded in 1914, the publication is staffed by members of the Richmond journalism undergraduate program[1], and is available in print format as well as online. There is also a digital archive of the newspaper's content from 1914 to 2003 published online by the university, using the Greenstone open source content system.[2]

Historical significance

The Collegian offered a sample of historical student perspective on numerous student issues at this private southern university, including racial integration and coeducation. In later years, the newspaper also provided primary coverage of one of the 1992 presidential debates held in Richmond, as well as the disintegration of the Greek system at the university in the face of the emerging political correctness movement in academia.
