The Transcript

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Transcript, published at Ohio Wesleyan University, is the oldest independent college student newspaper in the United States. [1]

The newspaper dates back to 1867 when it first appeared under the name Western Collegian. Joseph B. Battelle was the first editor of Western Collegian, at that time a student at Ohio Wesleyan University. Following his graduation from Wesleyan, Battelle would become one of the most prominent journalists at Toledo Blade.
