Ursinus Weekly Newspaper, 1902-1978

Ursinus College news was first published in the Ursinus College Bulletin until 1902. In that year, the Ursinus Weekly took over as the primary means of disseminating news about the College. Eventually becoming an entirely student-run newspaper, the Weekly continued publication until 1978 when the name was officially changed to The Grizzly. The Ursinus College Grizzly continues to be published today as the student-run newspaper.
