The first edition of "The University Register" ran in 1960. While only a few surviving issues from the first six years of publication remain, it is clear that the title "The Vanguard" was adopted immediately following the publication of the first issue. Printed on 8.5"x11" glossy stock and printed in a newsletter format, "The Vanguard" adopted a newspaper format by the 1970s, and finally switched to the compact format soon thereafter. By 1975, however, the "Vanguard" changed its name to "The Campus Community Writer", and then again changed its name to "The Morris Weekly" in 1977. As "The Morris Weekly", the newspaper became more recognisable as the publication it is today, with five distinct sections, consistent news coverage, and the adaptation of AP style. In 1987, the newspaper made its longest lasting name change as "The University Register", and has been printed under that title ever since.
