Kaimin Appears in June 1898
The first issue of the Kaimin, Montana State University student newspaper, appeared in June of 1898.
It more closely resembled a literary magazine. Student opinion, as reflected in the publication, seemed to center on purely literary and mental attainments, for the issue contained short stories, critical essays, poems and an article by Professor M. J. Elrod of the biological department on “How to Spend Your Vacation” with cuts illustrating scenes in Yellowstone Park.
The title “Kaimin” was derived from an Indian word meaning “written word.”
