The Wheaton College Echoes was the first annual produced at |
Wheaton College, running from 1893 until 1900. Presented to offer a review |
of as well as commemorate the school year, the first issues offered |
full page photographs, lists of professors as well as detailed |
descriptions of enrolled students, alumni, and the years graduates. The name |
was shorted in 1896 to simply the Echo. Despite the fact that the Echo |
was well made, it seems that demand was waning by the end of the |
century and that fact coupled with mismanagement left the yearbook |
effort without money and Wheaton College decided to suspend the |
publication after the 1900 edition. |
