132 years, 221 editors.

This list, first compiled in the late 1980s by Tom Emmerson, contains every editor-in-chief of the Iowa State Daily since its beginning in 1890.

How to Read the List:

• Year: The “Year” is the numbered school year for the Daily. Every year starts in the fall, though when editorships begin has varied.
• Term: The “Term” refers to the school term. Iowa State ran on semesters until 1919, when the quarter system was introduced. It reverted back to semesters in 1981. Since the Daily began, there has always been summer courses, but a summer publication didn’t start until 1942.
• Editors: The person or persons who were editor-in-chief. A comma (,) represents a co-editorship. A slash (/) means there was a change during the term. (Ex.: In spring 1893, G. M. Harvey stepped down after a month and was replaced by E. E. Faville; W. G. Rundall served the full term.)
• #: A counter for the number of people who have been the editor-in-chief. A dash (-) signifies the person was counted at a prior time.

Note 1. In its first three terms of operation, the Daily didn’t have an “editor.” Instead, it had “senior staff” in the staff listing.

---

Kate Kealey will be the 67th female editor-in-chief. It is still a long ways off from the number of EICs that have been men, but the last decade has been overwhelmingly female with 12 of 16 editors being women.

Amber Mohmand will be the 81st summer editor-in-chief.
