History

In 1889, when some believed the university would be better without a student newspaper of any kind[citation needed], the board of trustees of Johns Hopkins University prohibited the creation of any student publication without the board's written permission. Seven years later, James Thomson '1897 and Edgeworth Smith '98, petitioned Academic Council to allow publication of four trial issues of a fortnightly periodical to be called The Johns Hopkins News-Letter. Its aim, at a pricey 15 cents an issue, would be to report on local events and provide a forum for students who wished to publish opinion pieces. Eventually, and reluctantly, the board acquiesced, "provided that the plan be carried out in a manner satisfactory to the President."[citation needed]
