The Royal Purple is the yearbook of Kansas State University. It has received multiple National Pacemaker Awards[1] and was awarded a Silver Crown by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 2006.[2]

The yearbook’s predecessor first appeared at Kansas State Agricultural College in 1891. Over the following years, the publication underwent several name changes, including: The Sledge, Sunrise, The Bell Clapper, and The Banner. The name The Royal Purple was adopted in 1909.[3]

During the 20th century, The Royal Purple introduced several design and production features that were later adopted more widely in yearbook publishing. An embossed design on the division page, a feature that became common decades later, appeared in the 1939 edition.[4]
