School editors connect after 120 years

The Northern Iowan, student newspaper at the University of Northern Iowa, just published a guest column I wrote about Carl Magee, who was editor of the school’s paper, then called the Normal Eyte, in 1894. Facilitating publication of the column was editor Caroline Christensen, Magee’s successor 120 years later.

I suspect Carl would be as proud of the work Caroline is doing now as she is proud to carry on his legacy.
