SDSU-Archives UA 050.05 · Records · 1933-1970

This collection documents the activities and administrative functions of the Publications Council and its oversight of student publications at South Dakota State College. The records consist primarily of meeting minutes dated 1933 to 1970, which reflect policy decisions, publication approvals, personnel recommendations, and management of The Collegian and the Jackrabbit yearbook. Additional materials include a 1965 advertising questionnaire, 1946 clippings, engraver contracts for the Jackrabbit from 1951 to 1956, financial records for The Collegian from 1957 to 1962 and for the Jackrabbit from 1951 to 1967, and an inventory of Jackrabbit materials dated 1942 to 1952.

The records provide documentation of student publication governance over nearly four decades. They offer evidence of editorial and managerial selection processes, financial and contractual arrangements, and operational oversight of major student publications. The materials support research on the history of student media, administrative structures, and publication practices at South Dakota State College.
