For example, the first article we have reprinted demonstrates how the more things at Union change, the more they stay the same. The apathy of the student body seems to be one of those qualities of the college that has remained the same. However, it is even more interesting to see how the range and constitution of the various activities offered have changed drastically. One can make many similar observations about the development of the college by looking through past issues of Concordiensis. The school newspaper is one of the most useful and valuable resources of Union's culture.
Student journalism is an important activity at any academic institution.
It provides a perspective for the students, by the students, on a broad range of issues. It is one of the only checks on both the student government and the administration. To learn about the most crucial and contraversial issues affecting the college at any particular time one needs only to look through Concordiensis archives. In addition to these international events, many national events also deeply affected the character of the college. These events tend to be more social in nature.
