The Pine, the official publication of the Associated Students of Northern Arizona Normal School, was first published a few weeks after the beginning of fall semester 1914 with the support and encouragement of the college president, Dr. Rudolph H.H. Blome. Initially published bi-weekly, the newspaper alternated between a monthly, weekly, and semi-weekly publication over the years, as the Normal School grew into the Arizona State Teachers' College and then into Northern Arizona University. In 1946, by a vote of the student body, the name of the student newspaper was formally changed to The Lumberjack.
