This site contains the back issues of the women's student newspapers published at the University of Pennsylvania, 1924-1964. In 1924, the Women’s Student Government Association at Penn began publication of a women’s student newspaper, The Bennett News. Grace Marie Haspel (B.S. in Ed., 1925) was the first Editor-in-Chief.

The Pennsylvania News continued to be published until the fall of 1964 when it produced its final issue.
