The Daily's Big Day

First there was the Shack. Then the Storke Publications Building. But now Stanford's independent student newspaper has a new home: the Lorry Lokey Stanford Daily Building, right in the heart of campus behind Old Union. The dedication ceremonies on April 2 kicked off with a keynote from New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller, who likened the event to a ribbon-cutting at a Pontiac dealership, but went on to predict that newspapers will survive in some form because the internet will create a new appetite for real journalism. The ceremony brought together the past and present, from the 1930s to today.

There was a great turnout of 1970s staffers. Kudos to Christy Wise, Charlie Hoffman and Harry Press for devoting their time and energy to the Friends of the Daily and making this wonderful event possible. The Daily launched many distinguished careers in print journalism and it's an honor to be part of this amazing group. Check out the complete photo album on Facebook!
