The first was the Carroll College Student, which appeared in 1854. This publication included news topics of the day as well as a wide array of stories and advice. The Student was a short-lived publication, only lasting from October 1854 to July 1856.

The next newspaper at Carroll appeared in 1874, nearly two decades after the first issue of the Student came out. This new publication was named the Carroll Echo. The newspaper became much more sophisticated over its tenure. Over time photographs and cartoons were added, making it much more like a modern newspaper. |

In 1968, the name of the paper was changed from the Echo to the Perspective.

In 1976, Gary Stevens, the faculty advisor for the newspaper, suggested the editor-in-chief position be replaced with an editorial staff. Student Senate approved the idea, and with this change came another name change. It was changed to the New Perspective which has been its name to the present. This collection of student newspapers appears online, thanks to the 2008-2009 New Perspective Editoral Staff and numerous library student workers. More issues of paper will be added in time until the complete 100+ years are avaliable.

Each issue has been collated into a printable PDF. They are indexed by author and photographer with a searchable subject index. The PDFs are full-text searchable; however, the accuracy of older issues is not 100% correct. The digitization of this collection is ongoing.
Additional Carroll student publications (handwritten "newspapers," magazines, alternative papers, and student writings) are available in the Carroll Archives, please consult the Student Publications and Writing Collection finding aid for more information.
