The Xavier Newsletter

After enthusiastic response to a "mimeographed newsletter" sent out in late 1941 or early 1942, Xavier University administrators published The Xavier Newsletter, which was to be distributed to "men in the service, the civilian student body, the Army Air Corps trainees, the alumni, alumnae, dads, mothers and friends of Xavier. We plan to issue the NEWSLETTER ten times a year. Items of interest will be welcomed from all Xavier sources" (Newsletter, Volume I, Number 1, 1943-09-10). The Xavier Newsletter, published during World War II, reported on Xavier University's administration, student activities, sports, academics, and other campus life news. It featured articles about former students, faculty, staff, and alumni serving in the military and included updates from these soldiers or stories about their service. While it was originally scheduled for ten publications a year, Xavier produced six issues in its first volume and one in the second. After World War II, the University created and continued other publications for the Xavier community.

This publication was digitized and is made available by University Archives and Special Collections staff using an EPSON 12000XL scanner and Bluebeam Revu OCR technology.
