Wilson Gossip was a short-lived, lighthearted publication that focused on life at Wilson College, the lives of the students, and updates on graduated alumni. The first issue appeared in August 1922 and contained witty bits of news about new faculty members, changes made to the campus, and a humorous calendar of the upcoming school year. The publication sold of $.25 per copy. Mentioned frequently throughout the paper was the importance of endowment, which was the act of contributing money to a fund that supported the betterment of Wilson College. In fact, proceeds from the Wilson Gossip went directly to the endowment fund. Most amusing was the classified section that included advertisements such as: WANTED - Men for the prom. Juniors and Seniors. LOST - Library books. These must be returned immediately. Miss Erskine. The format of the second edition of the Wilson Gossip, which was published in August 1923, was much like the first edition, but seemed to have a more confident tone. The columns were written in the same witty manner and emphasized the lives of present and past “Wilson girls.” The new format included page headings for the gossip section which were entitled “Mrs. Nosit Aull” and “Mrs. Told U. Sough.” Funny sub-headings below the title were “Did U Hear This -, “ ”Don’t tell anyone, but -, “ and “Oh! I must run, my beans are burning, but -.” One thing is quite evident when reading the gossip section: the writers of the Wilson Gossip were quite proud of the achievement of the Wilson girls, whether it was the announcement of a new occupation, a faraway place visited, a marriage, or the birth of a new baby. The price increase to $.30 per copy in 1923 must have been too significant because the second edition was the last edition of the Wilson Gossip. —Kristin McGee
