Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Normal Outlook was first published in January of 1899 by the Washington State Normal School Student Body as a quarterly magazine. In 1902, the magazine was published as a monthly journal by the Senior Class and the Y.W.C.A until April of 1905. The publication ran into debt in late 1905 and ceased publishing the magazine. The following year, the student body decided to publish an annual to replace the monthly magazine. The student body reestablished the the Normal Outlook for a brief time in 1914 but ceased publication after three issues, ending in October of 1914.
