This is a keyword-searchable collection of student newspapers produced at Tulane University in the 19th-21st centuries. The bulk of the collection consists of The Tulane Hullabaloo, which began publishing on January 16, 1920, and is still in print today. The first newspaper that is archived and available digitally is the College Spirit (1894-1897), followed by the Olive and Blue (1896-1906) and the Tulane Weekly (1905-1919). Note that the Tulane Weekly did not publish for most of Fall 1918 due to the rigorous schedule of the Student Army Training Corps (basically, most of the male student body) which was training in Camp Martin on Tulane's campus that semester, during the first wave of the Spanish influenza epidemic in New Orleans.

The digitization for this project was funded by a $15,000 donation from James E. Bie, an alumnus who attended Tulane University for two semesters during World War II. Jim came to Tulane on an athletic scholarship in July 1945, and he lived in the athletic dormitory - the building now known as Fortier Hall (home of Center for Public Service; for those who know the building, his room was on the first floor, to the right of the entry door closest to Freret). When he turned 18 at the end of the December, Jim left Tulane to enter the army and ended up serving in occupied Germany for 18 months before returning to his native Wisconsin to finish his university education with a degree in journalism and public relations - thus, digitizing student newspapers was the perfect project for his donation. University Archives is deeply grateful to Jim for his generosity, his eagerness to help, and his wicked sense of humor.
