Old School Publications

The Valparaiso Male and Female College (1859-1871) and the various names of the institution owned by Henry Baker Brown until its purchase by the Lutherans in the fall of 1925 (1873-1925) constitute an entity referred to here as “Old School”. There were numerous attempts by students, faculty and even people outside of the institution to establish publications for the institution. Few survived for more than a year or two, and there were many years when no publications were produced. Many are known only through the writings of those tracing the history of Valparaiso University. The archives compiled and digitized what still exists in our collection.

Of particular note are the publications of the medical and dental schools in Chicago, owned for a short period by Valparaiso University (The American and The Bur). Also, the Bayonet, published for the Valparaiso Training Detachment located on campus during the period of W.W.I is among this group.

This collection includes selected volumes from: The Monitor (1868-1869), Normal Collegian (1874 – 1875), Normal Mirror (1876), published by Mr. Perrine, Normal National Nominating Convention (1883, 1889, 1892, 1895), Northern Indiana School Journal (1881 -), The Student (1891 - 1893), The Normal Student (1894), The Bur (Alumni Assn. Chic Coll Dental Surgery) (1896 – 1993), College Current (1898 – 1903), The American (1904) (published monthly by the American College of Medicine and Surgery faculty and students), Valparaiso University Herald (1907 – 1911), The Students’ Gazette (1910), Pharmacy News Bulletin (1916), The Bayonet (publication of the Valparaiso Training Detachment) (1918 -), Valumni (1919 – 1920), Valoon (1920-1921, 1931), The Reveille (1922), Valparaiso Result (1924) (publication of a fund-raising attempt before the sale of the institution), Valparaiso Result (Chicago Edition) (1924)
