.ODE to a Century. ©«S<m»Cnttrart Headlines through the decades One of the biggest elements on newspaper pages, headlines are designed to do a number of things. Grab readers’ attention. Bring peo ple into the story. Reflect the sense and the tone of the story. The size and style of headlines has changed dur ing the last 100 years, including within the Emerald it self. The early years tended toward New York Times style headlines, with staggered lines and lots of capital letters. The 1930s and 1940s saw headlines for big sto ries running above the nameplate. Recent years have seen the use of a variety of typefaces, especially in fea ture headlines. But one thing has remained the same with the headlines of the Oregon Daily Emerald. They have told the stories of the University, its people, its com munity, its events. The following is a snapshot of cam pus history, told through the big type — the headlines.
