The Colgate Maroon-News is the student newspaper of Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. It is the oldest college weekly in America, having been founded in 1868 as Madisonesis.
The newspaper traces its origins back to 1846, when Hamilton Student was founded by student and abolitionist George Gavin Ritchie as "a semi-monthly mirror of Religion, Literature, Science and Art." [1] The newspaper was shut down and Ritchie expelled by the college, then called Madison University, after he published an editorial criticizing New York residents for opposing African-American male suffrage, though he continued to publish the Hamilton Student as "The Hamilton Student and Christian Reformer." [2]
For over two decades, there was no official student newspaper for the university. In 1868, Colgate restarted the campus newspaper under the name Madisonensis, and the modern staff considers this as its official foundation. [3] The newspaper's name was officially changed to the Colgate Maroon in 1916. An independent paper, the Colgate News, emerged in 1969, as a less liberal alternative to the official student newspaper.
The newspaper takes its current name from the merger of the two campus weeklies in 1991.
The Colgate Maroon-News has a circulation of 2,250 print copies, which are distributed around campus, the Village of Hamilton, and to subscribing alumni. [4]
In a typical year, The Colgate Maroon-News has approximately 75 student members. [4]

Morehouse College is a private historically Black men's liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia. Anchored by its main campus of 61 acres (25 ha) near downtown Atlanta, the college has a variety of residential dorms and academic buildings east of Ashview Heights. Along with Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University, and the Morehouse School of Medicine, the college is a member of the Atlanta University Center consortium. Founded by William Jefferson White in 1867 in response to the liberation of enslaved African-Americans following the American Civil War, Morehouse adopted a seminary university model and stressed religious instruction in the Baptist tradition. Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, the college experienced rapid, albeit financially unstable, institutional growth by establishing a liberal arts curriculum. The three-decade tenure of Benjamin Mays during the mid-20th century led to strengthened finances, an enrollment boom, and increased academic competitiveness. The college has played a key role in the development of the civil rights movement and racial equality in the United States.
