The Classic is published quarterly––<br />
in March, June, October and<br />
December–– for alumni and friends<br />
of <strong>Northwestern</strong> <strong>College</strong>. So named<br />
because it served what was then<br />
known as the <strong>Northwestern</strong><br />
Classical Academy, the Classic was<br />
the school’s first student newspaper,<br />
begun in 1891. It has been an<br />
alumni publication since 1930.<br />
