Susquehanna University's school newspaper, The Crusader, was first formed in the fall of 1891, under the name of The Institute Journal. Susquehanna University's 5th president, Jonathan Dimm, edited the school newspaper, while faculty and students wrote the articles. Later the name was changed to The Susquehanna Journal, then just Susquehanna. Showing enthusiasm for the campus growth and change in the 1960s, the school's newspaper name was changed once again to its current name The Crusader. Pictured selling 1970-1971 subscriptions to The Crusader are Scott Truver class of 1972,and Signe Gates class of 1971. Both are current Susquehanna University Board of Trustees members.
