History
editAt its inception in 1874, the paper was known as the Carroll Echo.[1] Throughout its tenure, the paper added photographs and cartoons, as it developed into a modern newspaper.
In 1968, the name of the paper was changed from the Carroll Echo to The Perspective.
In 1976, Gary Stevens, the faculty advisor for the newspaper, suggested the editor-in-chief position be replaced with an editorial staff. The Student Senate approved the idea. With this change came another name change, to The New Perspective.
