in 1896, the two papers merged and became the "herald-collegian". eventually, the newspaper dropped the herald and became "the collegian" of hillsdale college. today it is known simply as "the collegian". in 2014, staff at the "kalamazoo college index" claimed that the "index" predated the "collegian". but, after an investigation by the "collegian"s editor-in-chief at the time, it was determined that hillsdale is michigan's oldest college newspaper. the "index" began as a publication in 1877, which predates the "hillsdale herald", but did not become a newspaper until 1916, 20 years after the "herald" had merged with the "collegian" to become the "hillsdale herald-collegian".
