The Beacon is the student-run newspaper of the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon, United States. The current name of the paper at the private, Catholic school was adopted in 1935. The weekly paper is published each Thursday and is a member of the College Publisher Network. The original name of the school’s newspaper was The Columbiad, but the school held a contest to rename the paper. The university was named Columbia University until February 15, 1935, when it was changed to the current name. On April 12, 1935, the campus paper was renamed as The Beacon, as suggested by student Alan Kennedy, who won a $3 prize. More information...
