The Muse (student paper)

The Muse, successor to the Memorial Times, began publishing in 1950 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, as an unnamed paper. That paper held a contest to choose a new name, the winner being a professor who named the paper after all of the following: * a bastardization of the Greek letters Μ and υ, for Memorial University; * a reference to the Greek goddesses of the arts; * a joke, saying this was MU's (Memorial University's) paper; * and the role of a paper as a place where students could muse.
