Tulane's beloved news source has changed names over the years. The first Tulane newspaper available in our collections is The College Spirit (1894-1897). In 1896, The Olive and Blue began publications and continued through 1906. From 1905 to 1919, the university newspaper was called Tulane Weekly. The Tulane Hullabaloo that we still know today first published January 21, 1920.
