History of The Sentinel
The Sentinel was the yearbook for The University of
Montana. It was published from 1904 to 1972 and for a few years in the 1980s.
Sentinel yearbooks were originally published by the Junior class
as a record of the preceding school year. For example, the 1906 Sentinel
was actually a record of the 1904/1905 school year. After 1920, the year
of the book reflected the end of the year in which it was produced. For the
first 69 years of the book’s publication, each university student received one
as part of their student fees. After that it was no longer mandatory and sales
declined dramatically.
The 1913 Sentinel was produced by the Junior class of
1913. Although the book was called the 1913 Sentinel, it was a
record of the 1912 school year. The editor-in-chief of the 1913
Sentinel was John B. Taylor and his Business Manager was Roscoe
Wells. The book was begun in 1911 and first printed in May, 1912. The Junior
class struggled to pay their debt for the printing of the book into 1914.
The collection contains correspondence and financial records from the
1913 edition of The Sentinel, the yearbook of The University of
Montana. The correspondence includes incoming and outgoing correspondence from
Roscoe Wells, the Business Manager of The Sentinel. The financial
matters discussed in the correspondence include contracts with Buckbee-Mears
Company, an engraving company in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Missoulian
Publishing Company. The correspondence also deals with The
Sentinel organization’s indebtedness in producing the 1913 yearbook,
orders and solicitations for advertisements, and the logistics of shipping the
engravings back and forth to Minneapolis
