1922 marked the return of a |
college annual at Wheaton College with the first issue of the Tower. After a22-year hiatus the class of '22 started raising funds to produce a |
yearbook because of a stipulation from the college faculty being that the yearbook |
would have to be fully funded before the "closing of contracts" so as to avoid |
the financial troubles of the Echoes. Similar in style the Echoe, |
the Tower presented an overview of the school year, covering the academics, sports, and social life of Wheaton College. The Tower has changed |
much over the years according to the styles of each issue's time, yet the |
content has remained consistent throughout its run. A special Armed Forces |
Tower was produced in 1946 alongside the regular Tower to be sent overseas |
to Wheaton student serving in World War II. Over the years the Tower has won |
many All American awards. |
