The original student body consisted of 17 young men and women from local high schools. The college was renamed \"George Mason College\" in late 1959 and moved to its first permanent campus at Fairfax during the fall of 1964. During this early period (1957-1964) enrollment never exceeded 250 students. Once at Fairfax, George Mason College's student body, while  still small at 356, began to grow in terms of school spirit and student involvement.  Students formed increasingly more and varied clubs,vigorously promoted and participated in Student Government elections, created leagues of intramural sports, and participated in many of the rites of college life, including publishing of newsletters, newspapers, yearbooks, and later,  journals.","While no expamples of student publications prior to 1960 can be found in this collection, there were, most-likely, some mimeographed newsletters or other handouts created by students to inform, entertain, or educate their peers in the tiny college community. \nStudent publications at George Mason during the 1960s included numerous small, short-run serial newsletters, the student newspaper The Gunston Ledger (renamed Broadside in 1969) [link to https://aspace.gmu.edu/resources/r0128], and the yearbook, Advocate [link to https://aspace.gmu.edu/resources/r0132].  By the 1970s and later a number of student published literary and culture-based journals appeared at Mason, including Phoebe and So to Speak. Today nearly all of the student publications are published and distributed by the umbrella group Student Media, which is part of Mason's Division of University Life.","Materials which make up this collection were initially processed by SCRC Archivist and Records Manager, Barbara Haase and SCRC staff beginning in the mid-1980s as individual record units. In 2023 undergraduate student assistant, Colin McDonald compiled a preliminary inventory and arrangement for the collection. In 2024 graduate research assistant, Maegan Jankowski completed final inventory, arrangement, and description.

During this early period (1957-1964) enrollment never exceeded 250 students. Once at Fairfax, George Mason College's student body, while  still small at 356, began to grow in terms of school spirit and student involvement.  Students formed increasingly more and varied clubs,vigorously promoted and participated in Student Government elections, created leagues of intramural sports, and participated in many of the rites of college life, including publishing of newsletters, newspapers, yearbooks, and later,  journals.","While no expamples of student publications prior to 1960 can be found in this collection, there were, most-likely, some mimeographed newsletters or other handouts created by students to inform, entertain, or educate their peers in the tiny college community. \nStudent publications at George Mason during the 1960s included numerous small, short-run serial newsletters, the student newspaper The Gunston Ledger (renamed Broadside in 1969) [link to https://aspace.gmu.edu/resources/r0128], and the yearbook, Advocate [link to https://aspace.gmu.edu/resources/r0132].  By the 1970s and later a number of student published literary and culture-based journals appeared at Mason, including Phoebe and So to Speak. Today nearly all of the student publications are published and distributed by the umbrella group Student Media, which is part of Mason's Division of University Life."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eGeorge Mason University student publications, R0154, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["George Mason University student publications, R0154, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMaterials which make up this collection were initially processed by SCRC Archivist and Records Manager, Barbara Haase and SCRC staff beginning in the mid-1980s as individual record units.

Censer received his BA from Duke University and his MA and PhD from Johns Hopkins University. He taught at the College of Charleston in South Carolina before coming to George Mason University in 1977, where he taught a wide range of classes, from undergraduate courses in Western Civilization to graduate seminars on the French Revolution. His wife, Jane Turner Censer, is also a professor in the George Mason University History and Art History department.","Jack Censer has done significant work studying the French 18th century press, including a great deal of archival research both in France and the United States, and he has written numerous books and articles. His interest in the press and the media also led him to write a study of the media response to the 2002 D.C. Sniper shootings, 'On the Trail of the DC Sniper: Fear and the Media.' Censer retired from Mason in 2015 (History and Art History Department, George Mason University, 'Jack R. Censer').","Processing completed by Elizabeth Beckman in October 2017.

Most of the articles are from scholarly publications and deal with French history, particularly French 18th century history, although other places and times are represented. Some of the articles have notes to Censer and are signed by the author. The series also contains a number of reviews published in journals by Censer. There is a mixture of photocopies and original printings.","Series 2: D.C. Sniper research contains notes, printouts of television transcripts and print coverage, and other research material dating from 2002-2010, collected in the course of Censer's work on his book 'On the Trail of the D.C. Sniper: Fear and the Media' between 2002-2010.","Series 3: Teaching consists largely of syllabi, exam questions, and paper prompts for Jack Censer's graduate and undergraduate classes dating from the 1960s-2003, though mostly from his time as a professor in the history department at George Mason University.","Series 4: Research (1968-2006) contains material used in Censer's research on the press in 18th century France, as well as various aspects of the French Revolutionary era (mostly photocopies). It also contains multiple versions of some of Censer's scholarly output and related material, including articles, book chapters, essays from his time as a student, publishing logistical materials, reviews, and correspondence. Also included are materials from Censer's participation in professional organizations such as the American Historical Association.","Series 5: Administrative papers contains material from 1972-2011 that documents Censer's work as Chair of the Art and Art History department at George Mason University. Also included are materials for work he did beyond the university for the Educational Testing Service and Bryant Adult Center, as well as correspondence and graduation programs from other institutions.","Series 6: Audiovisual materials dates from 2001 to circa 2010s and largely contains CDs of D.C.
