The Setonian 100th Anniversary Exhibition
The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University celebrates the 100th anniversary of The Setonian, the official undergraduate student newspaper founded in 1924. For more than a centennial, the paper has been the voice of the University community, delivering coverage from all angles of campus.
From reporting on the frontlines of student-led protests to dissecting the latest fashion trends, The Setonian has remained steadfast in its reporting. The paper also serves as a training ground for journalists and reporters while upholding the First Amendment. The exhibition explores the beginning of the newspaper, envisioned by student John Erigena Robinson in a diary entry dated 1873 through the present day with stories of the paper’s hiatus during COVID-19, its subsequent return online, and then, in print. The exhibit pairs news articles with objects from the gallery and archival collections in themed sections that borrow from the format of a traditional print paper.
The exhibition celebrates the dedicated students that worked at the newspaper over the past century while diving into key themes and stories in the history of the paper, student life, and the University. Sections include Greek Life, Sports, ROTC, and Editorials.
Key Themes and Stories

The exhibition was made possible through the work of many people on campus, especially the staff and advisors of The Setonian, but also the student researchers and fellows, interns, archivists, and gallery staff who each had a role in documenting, preserving, transcribing, researching, and displaying the wealth of materials on view.
