 The following is a production of New Mexico State University. Of the many publications produced at New Mexico State University, probably the best known is the student-operated newspaper, The Roundup. In the early years of what was then called New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, the newspaper reflected the flowery, journalistic style of the times. Major events were reported, including commencement of the first class, the transformation of New Mexico from territory to state, and the presidential visit of William Howard Taft to Las Cruces. Sports was always a popular topic, lauding the valiant efforts of Aggie teams in triumph and defeat. Today, The Roundup boasts a computerized operation with a circulation of 14,000.
