About

The Northern Normal News/Northern College News/Northern News was a student newspaper at Northern Michigan University from 1919 to 1972. This collection covers the whole run of the paper, though there are a few missing issues: Volume 5, Numbers 5 and 6 (April to June 1923) and Volume 74, Number 1 (approximately 1971-09-10). From 1920 to 1922, the June issue of the Northern Normal News was the school yearbook. These are in the yearbook collection.
