Description: The Daily Illini, the campus student newspaper, including national, local and campus news and sports; reviews of speeches, concerts and debates; Associated Press news and features; feature articles on campus events and opinions; student editorials and national political columnists. The Illini was first published as monthly, beginning January 1874, as volume III, No. 1, a successor to The Student. In September 1880, it became a semi-monthly; in September 1892, a weekly; in September 1899, a tri-weekly; in September 1902, a daily (Monday-Friday). In September 1904, a Sunday Illini replaced the Monday issue. Beginning in September 1905, it was published 6 days (excepting Mondays). After January 1942, it was issued daily except Monday or Tuesday. Since September 1947, the Daily Illini has been published 5 days a week (excepting Sunday and Monday). Since 1963, a Saturday supplement, "Spectrum," is included. In 1985, the paper began to be published 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. The series also includes unbound single issues of the Illini for 1874-78, 1980-89 and 1892-99.
