Today is the 101st birthday of The Lode! The Lode came to be when students Paul Van Orden and Charles Tate decided to create an independent, student run newspaper funded out of their own pockets. It was first called the Michigan College of Mines Lode and has since gone through many changes. Despite the many changes, The Lode will always be an independent, student run-newspaper devoted to providing news to the community. While the support may have waned, our loyalty and belief in journalism hasn’t.
To show your support for The Lode please read our paper, join us, tell your friends about us, send us your thoughts, or even buy an ad.
Sincerely,
Cat Madish, Editor in Chief
