College Newspapers
Historical Archives
Some college newspaper archives have hit the internet. What were those schoolkids doing back in 1905...?
The Argus

All content is retrievable but is only partly searchable

Assorted College Newspapers

Harvard Crimson, Harvard University, 1873-current
Full text searching, but text-only retrieval, rather than original images.
The Silent Worker
A college newspaper of sorts, this national publication, now housed at Galludet University, is an archive of a newspaper for the deaf (originally called The Deaf MuteTimes) , written by deaf authors. Covers 1888-1929.
Lancaster County Newspaper Archives
Lancaster County, PA has put several newspapers online, including the Franklin and Marshall College Reporter, from 1915-2001.
Purdue Exponent, Purdue University (Indiana)
A small but useful archive, covering 2000-2006

Includes Mass Media, and UMB News.
Coe College Cosmos, 1890-1977 (Iowa).
The Barnard Bulletin, 1901-2002, Barnard College in New York City.
NewspaperArchive.com
Even with all the free resources available, I still find newspaperarchive.com to be the most valuable resource available for researching history. I've been a subscriber for years. Take a look: NewspaperArchive.com
Minnesota Daily
University of Minnestoa college newspaper. Full images available, but no text searching. 1900-1999
Wisconsin literary magazine
A student publication from the University of Wisconsin. Oddly, individual issues can be searched, but not the collection as a whole. Covers 1906-1928.
University of Georgia Red and Black student Newspaper archives, 1893-1979. (special viewer needed to see page images). Also from U. Georgia, a few issues of the satirical student newspaper, The Bumble Bee, from 1889-1902
University of British Columbia (Canada) Ubyssey Student newspaper, 1916-current
The Collegiate Chronicle at the University of Illinois is an interesting resource that contains archives for a number of college newspapers including: American University Eagle (1925-1996), Franklin and Marshall College Reporter (1964-1987), Georgetown Hoya (1959-1980), Lincoln University Lincolnian and Lincoln News (1925-2003), Gettysburg College Gettysburgian (1897-2004), University of Illinois Daily Illini (1916-1945), and others.
Yale Daily News 1878-? Searchable, but poorly described, and an unfriendly interface. Only a few years seems to have been digitized thus far. C'mon Yale...you can do better!
Montclairion -- Montclair State College, NJ student newspaper 1962-2001
The Griffin, Canisius College (Jesuit College in Buffalo, NY). Archives appear to run from 1933 to the 1950's.
East Los Angeles College Campus News (1945-1999)
New Student Newspapers of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University (Minnesota), 1888-current. The papers went by several names, including The Record, The Torch, Vitae, and The Saints. Note, the site includes a link to Spoof/Parody issues...would be nice to see more archives do this.
One of the best archives available is the aptly-named NewspaperArchive.com. This is a subscription service, but well worth it. I use them constantly in my research, and recommend them highly. You'll find plenty of old college antics in their deep databases.
But wait...there's still more!
