    The Students' Union Gazette was issued by the students of the Syrian Protestant College (SPC). The first issue was published in 1907, but unfortunately is lacking in the library collection. The library holds 9 volumes from 1912-1932. The gazette is published under the Union’s motto “Growth”. The gazette tried to address matters related to the college life, and of concern and interest to the Student Union. Many articles describe student life, and extracurricular activities. Of particular interest are a few students’ recounts of their experiences of the First World War. The two volumes featured here contain few illustrations; instead postcards and photographs that illustrate the various articles, and enrich the published pieces were glued inside the body of the articles.
