Biographical / Historical

During the early years, the Blue and Grays were published as the Univiersity's Commencements. This shifted in the late 1920s into early 1930s, where students began to print articles, events, and other important news in and around LMU. Some examples include: New faculty/staff, Student Senate reviews, Greek life events, Sports, Alumni updates, Buildings, Concerts, and more.

This changed in the early 2000s to be published under LMU's marketing comittee. These later editions may be found in Blue and Gray Publications (collection).
