The Collegian, which published its first issue on March 16, 1931, is the on-campus newspaper for La Salle University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Founded in March 1931, the Collegian was La Salle's third student newspaper, following two short lived publications in the late 19th century, both called The Advance.

The Collegian was initially four pages in length, and generally took a more conservative and isolationist editorial stance, though the latter was dropped after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Unlike many student organizations at La Salle which ceased to function due to the war, such as the football team and The Colophon literary magazine, the Collegian continued publication.

Recipients of the award include Ed Sullivan (1949), Bob Considine (1951), Red Smith (1952), Edward R. Murrow (1953), David Lawrence (1955), Jim Bishop (1956), Chet Huntley (1958), Walter Cronkite (1960), David Brinkley (1961), James Reston (1962), Charles Collingwood (1963), Art Buchwald (1964), Nancy Dickerson (1965), Charles M. Schulz (1966) and Tom Curley (2013).
