THE BURNIAN The first publication attempted by Blackburn Col- lege was in 1868 under the title of The Gleener. The first number of The Gleener appeared February 3, 1868. The subscription price was $1.50 per year. It was con- ducted under the auspices of the Philomathean Society. It was therefore a society paper rather than a college paper. The Gieener had a good advertising patronage, quite a large circulation, considering its era and sur- roundings, one issue reaching nearly three hundred but it seems to have been run extravagantly, and notwith- standing its liberal support became financially short, leaving its editors in the lurch, and expiring with the year which witnessed its birth. By 1871 the college had improved facilities, increased faculty and enrollment, and had opened its doors to women. A college newspaper was now demanded, and hence the origin of the Blackburn Gazette which made its debut in September 1871. Everything was favorable from the start. It received generous cooperation and support and proceeded through its first volume of nine numbers triumphantly. The second volume of the Ga- zette began with the September number of 1872. But notwithstanding its success, the Gazette went to the wall with its second volume, never to be revived. The Blackburn Courier was started in November of 1881. The name Courier had already been adopted by Monmouth College which caused the paper to be rech- ristened as the Blackburnian. Today, the paper contin- ues to be published under a shortened title, The Bur- nian.
