About
the Skiff
The
TCU Daily Skiff, which is in its 101st year of serving
the university, was first published in 1902 by its first editor,
Ed S. McKinney. McKinney had hoped to use the Skiff to
finance his way through school. He named the paper the “Skiff”
because it was to be “the boat” by which he intended
to sail through the financial waters of college to a degree.
The TCU Daily Skiff is the only paper designed specifically
for the students, faculty and staff of Texas Christian University.
Sponsored and partially funded by the university since 1902,
the Skiff runs every Tuesday through Friday during the
fall and spring semesters. |
