Student Paper Printed At University In1874
By CHARLES HAVERTY
The first student paper of the University press, was the Observer of Nature, the first issue of which appeared on April 1, 1874.
The Kansas Collegiate "devoted to $ \textcircled{8} $
The Observer was essentially a publication of the Natural History society, but its pages also contained a number of items of general University news.
The Kansas Collegiate "devoted to general literature and University news," followed the Observer in 1875. The Collegiate survived for four years and was then consolidated with its rival, the Kansas Review.
The Review was a monthly magazine containing general articles written by faculty and students and also included a great deal of University and personal news.
This publication had the longest life of any other, but finally ended in the spring of 1896.
Fraternity control and conflict, the clash of personalities, and even on one occasion, jealousies between literary societies, were responsible for the rise and fall of these student journals.
Without exception, however, all of the journals were ardent supporters of the University, and many of the
advances and improvements in the University can be traced to policies advocated by the student press.
Like all good Kansas newspapers, the student journals were no respecters of persons; and even administrative or professorial rank was no insurance against the darts of outrageous reporters.
Will Snow, for example, was added to the staff of the University in 1891 as secretary to his father, Chancellor Snow. The Courier in commenting on the neatness and dispatch with which young Snow accomplished his work added the comment: "Fapa's pants will soon fit Willie."
The student journals from 1874 to 1904 served as the proving ground for many students who later became well-known in Kansas journalism.

In addition to delegates from the United States a number of foreign students and staff members are expected to attend the meetings in a non-voting advisory capacity.
