in March, July, 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> Classical<br />
Academy, the Classic was the<br />
school’s first student newspaper,<br />
begun in 1891. It has been an alumni<br />
publication since 1930.<br />
