Origins of 'The Tufts Daily'

It's inspiring that the Daily has flourished during these 20 years since its inception. It was founded when the Student Activities office and the Tufts Community Union Senate agreed that the Tufts campus deserved timely communication of news and information. (A weekly didn't cut it back then either.) The precursor to the Daily was a paid-subscription news sheet promoted by a student entrepreneur who founded Tufts Student Resources. Needless-to-say, students paying for news briefs, a calendar, and personals wasn't going to make it, so a TCU-subsidized newspaper was organized.
