On May 19, 1967 The "Vanguard" published a nude photograph of beat poet Allen Ginsberg on its front page. The photo prompted college President Branford P. Millar to order that publication of the newspaper be suspended on May 24, 1967, calling the Ginsberg photo "vulgar." The "Vanguard" published the following Wednesday, May 31, and Friday, June 2, as the "Independent Vanguard". The cost of publication was covered by donations from faculty members, whose support was led by Donald R. Moor of the Philosophy Department.
