The Student was first published on 8 November 1887.
The brainchild of Robert Cochrane Buist (1860-1939), it first appeared as an eight-page quarto costing a penny. It was issued fortnightly and contained portraits of professors with critical sketches of their work, reports of sporting events, articles, reviews, and a fortnightly series of songs with music.
When Buist graduated in 1888, the Student was adopted as the official organ of the Students' Representative Council. It assumed both a more formal and a more critical tone and set as its object 'faithfully to record the passing events of University life' and 'to form a bond of union between present and absent sons of our Alma Mater'.
