Take a trip down memory lane and browse through old editions of С��Ƭ��Ƶ’s yearbook, the Chestnut Burr. The Chestnut Burr was the С��Ƭ��Ƶ student-produced yearbook, published from 1914 through 1985.

The Daily С��Ƭ��Ƶr Digital Archive includes every print edition issue of the С��Ƭ��Ƶr/Daily С��Ƭ��Ƶr campus newspaper. The project, funded by the С��Ƭ��Ƶ Libraries, includes issues dating from February 1926 as well as issues of Kent Summer News/Summer С��Ƭ��Ƶr issues from the 1950s through the 2000s. 

Special Collections and Archives, housed by University Libraries, has a variety of digital collections that can be browsed online.

Originally an alumni-only communication started in 1933, С��Ƭ��Ƶ Magazine has evolved over С��Ƭ��Ƶ’s history to become a university-wide publication from 2001 to the present.

The magazine is now a fully digital publication available to read online-only, with the last print issue published in the spring of 2023. The online С��Ƭ��Ƶ Magazine archive contains PDFs of issues from 2005-2015, with the exception of the summer issues from 2012-2014, and the digital only issues from 2023 to the present.

Issues of С��Ƭ��Ƶ Magazine and its predecessors can be viewed, in hard copy, by special request through the Special Collections and Archives of С��Ƭ��Ƶ Libraries.

Words and Music by Ed Siennicki
Dedicated to the K.S.U. Band and Roy D. Metcalf, Director

Fight on for KSU,
Fight for the Blue and Gold!
We're out to beat the foe;
Fight on brave and bold!

Fight on for victory,
Don't stop until we're through.
We're all together,
Let's go forward, K-S-U!

“Hail to Thee, Our Alma Mater”

Words by E. Turner Stump
Music by Dwight Steeere

From the beauty land Ohio comes a universal praise,
'Tis the song of Alma Mater that her sons and daughters raise.
'Tis a Hail to Kent forever, on the Cuyahoga shore,
Now we join the loving thousands as they sing it o'er and o'er.
Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater.
O, how beautiful Thou art,
High enthroned upon the hilltop,
Reigning over every heart.

Words by Eric Griebling
Original music composition by Johannes Brahms
Arr. Hugh Glauser

The blue of the morning, the gold of the noon day sky.
Declare С��Ƭ��Ƶ’s glory her colors that proudly wave on high.
Her faith in our future, in our powers, in our daily strife.

Oh! Kent we promise to love thee forever,
Kent Alma Mater the joy of our college days.
Oh, Kent Alma Mater we love and will praise thee always.

From Moulton to Merrill from Kent to McGilvrey Hall,
We pledge our devotion whatever may us befall.
Her strength will uphold us, and will guide us, as we struggle on.

Oh! Kent we promise to love thee forever,
Kent Alma Mater the joy of our college days.
Oh, Kent Alma Mater we love and will praise thee always.

Words by Ralph E. Hartzell
Music by Douglas Chapman

Dedicated to the K.S.U. Band and Roy D. Metcalf, Director

Fight for K.S.U.
Bring vict’ry home,
For gold and blue.
We’ll show to all our foes we’re out to win;
With might and main we’ll raise a triumph din, 
Thru thick and thin.
Honor team and school
We’ll meet our foes with courage cool,
Then join the welkin, let your voices ring,
And to our Alma Mater sing.

Kent we’ll sing to you
Where e’er we go,
What e’er we do.
You will be ever in our hearts to praise;
For you our fondest hopes we’ll ever raise,
All our days.
Here we learned the rules of living true and honestly,
For you then we will do our very best
To prove you better than the rest.
