1890: Upper School students began posting daily school events and news about the upcoming presidential election on the walls of their classroom. They called it Daily Doings. The Doings began as the Trinity War Cry because as a contributer noted, "we will put up a holler about some things."
November, 1891: Students decided to publish a newspaper of these Daily Doings. They handcopied the first issue. At that point, only four issues were published- all handwritten- and placed into each of the four upper school classrooms.
By January, 1892 the students were using a hand-cranked mimeograph machine to create issues. The paper changed names with each issue. It was called: Trinity Illustrated Weekly, Trinity Weekly, and Ephimerida, depending on the issue.
Spring 1892: One of the editors convinced his Uncle to fund professional printing of the paper, now titled Acta Diurna, a Latin translation of Daily Doings.
1895:Acta Diurna ceased publication, and wasn't revived until 1904.
