Historical Context Statement
The Ringenberg Archives & Special Collections of Taylor University makes a variety of historical materials publicly available to the Taylor community, scholarly researchers, and the general public. Some of these materials may include content (e.g., images, negative stereotypes, language) that viewers find objectionable for a variety of reasons. It is important for viewers to consider the time period and historical context in which the materials were created when consulting historical materials.

Resources exist to aid viewers in contextualizing historical materials (e.g., a list of questions to consider when putting sources into historical context from the University of Minnesota).

This volume of the Echo features several labeling mistakes. The volume is listed as 45, but is really volume 46. Midway through the year the volume is printed as 44. For the sake of consistency with later volumes, this collection has been labeled 45B.

Missing issues may include 45B:5, and 45B:9, but more than likely there are no missing issues, just stacking miscounts due to misprints and incorrect corrections to put it back on track. The most likely missing issue is 45B:9, but this is up for debate. Notes about issues numbers and misprints are explained per issue.
