First published in 1920, The Technician is North Carolina State University's oldest student newspaper. This issue from 1923 shows the topics that the paper covered in its early years, from athletics to club meetings. Although African Americans did not attend the college at the time, the paper still referenced them in humorous sections like, "Splinters from the North Carolina Pine" on page four. This issue also announced an upcoming student debate related to the Ku Klux Klan and whether or not it should be disbanded (on page three).
