Seventy-five years ago, the first issue of the Campus Times was published and distributed around the La Verne campus and community.

And ever since that first issue was published, Tuesday, Oct. 14, 1919, the Campus Times has gone through many changes in order to make the campus newspaper as professional as possible.

Today, the Campus Times is celebrating its 75th Anniversary using the latest technology available.

The Campus Times has undergone many changes, from once being an extracurricular activity to being the product of college journalism majors.

From its first issue as part of the journalism curriculum in 1976, and for 15 consecutive years, the Campus Times received the highest rating from the Associated Collegiate Press a college newspaper can receive—All-American.

The past 75 years the Campus Times has been one of the most consistent time-honored traditions of the University of La Verne. It recorded and reported the history of the University as it has changed and grown through the ages.

The tradition of the Campus Times is carried on in this, the 75th Anni­ver­sary issue.
