Student Newspapers

Full-text searchable issues of the Towson University student newspaper, The Towerlight (also known as the Oriole and the Tower Light) from September 1922 through 2021.

Note: Issues of The Towerlight from January 2000 through June 2000 are currently missing.

In these historic archives, you may encounter words, images or other language used that were reflective of the tenor of our nation, and thus university, at that time in history. Those images may be disturbing and offensive, as they reflect the prejudice of the time. However, they do not reflect Towson University’s values and our commitment toward building a welcoming, diverse and inclusive campus that supports all the members of our community to thrive, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation or levels of ableness.
