The Classic is published three times a<br />
year—in April, July and November—<br />
for alumni and friends of <strong>Northwestern</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. So named because it<br />
served what was then known as the<br />
<strong>Northwestern</strong> Classical Academy,<br />
the Classic was the school’s first<br />
student newspaper, begun in 1891.<br />
It has been an alumni publication<br />
since 1930.<br />
