| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 21: Near the middle 1850s, Auburn had three weekly newspapers--the Gazette, edited by Drake and Price; the Herald, by Holifield and Reese; and the Young Ladies' Mirror, by students at the Female College. All were printed on the second floor of a wooden building near where the main campus gate now stands. By February 1854, the editor and co-publisher of the Auburn Gazette, J. W. W. Drake, had left the newspaper business, but he continued to use its services. An advertisement bearing his name as director-secretary of the Female College warned that if all due tuition accounts were not paid before the next return day, the college would sue to collect them.
