/ref> The first publication at Richmond College was initiated by the Philologian Society and Mu Sigma Rho (the two literary organizations) in January 1876 as ''Monthly Musings,'' which was a monthly newspaper with a focus on literary articles, among other lesser topics. In January 1878, ''Monthly Musings'' was renamed to ''The Messenger.'' In 1914, when ''The Collegian'' was started, ''The Messenger'' fully moved to literary topics and continues today as a literary magazine at the University of Richmond.
