History

The newspaper was first published as The Dialective Reflector from 1884 to 1889 before being shortened to The Reflector.[3] It has subsequently published under its current name except for a brief period in 1944–1945 when it was operated by faculty and called Maroon and White during World War II.[3] Following the war, The Reflector resumed publication and continues to this day as the oldest running college newspaper in the SEC.

In 2003, the office complex housing the student publications was renamed to Henry F. Meyer Student Media Center in the honor of former university newspaper adviser Henry F. Meyer.[4]
