Abstract

From 1939 to the fall of 1954, during a time of ceasation of the publication of the student-run The Pinnacle, students continued to publish a newspaper under the title The Wallpaper. The Wallpaper, began circulation in 1939 and ran through the spring of 1954. It is noted as being published during the war years in the form of one or two typewritten copies (on long sheets of colored paper) and posted on campus bulletin boards (or the wall) for all to read . Publication of this type was due to a shortage of pressmen and materials. Starting in early 1946, The Wallpaper was again published on newsprint.
