University of Nebraska
Variant namesBiographical notes:
The first edition of the Arrowhead was published in December 1899 and came out monthly until 1902. The editorial in this first volume stated that its purpose was "to cheer you in your weary way." The Arrowhead included poetry, columns, editorials and opinions, and a wealth of drawings, cartoons, and caricatures. Contributions were solicited from readers and students but all remained unsigned. Editors explained the publication included local, state, and national items rather than being confined to university news. All notices for any types of meetings on campus were forbidden from publication. The publication supported itself through advertisements, many of which also had a comedic slant. The publication was printed by The Students' Co-operative Book Co.
In the first volumes, J.F. Boomer, R.C. Roper, and A.H. Knutson were listed as editors and proprietors, and H.R. Johnson was listed as managing editor and art editor. Later volumes include the names of students who served in positions such as business manager, managing editor, and designing editor. Student work on The Arrowhead assisted in future careers, as was the case for H.R. Johnson, who became a syndicated cartoonist and published his work in the Philadelphia North American and The Saturday Evening Post .
