According to "The Fraternity Voice," published by the College Fraternity Editors Association (1998):
"The earliest printed periodical of Psi Upsilon was The College Tablet, published by Delta Chapter, New York University, edited by F.N. Zabriskie and E.C. Darlington and dated Jan. 15, 1850. There were six issues of eight pages, 6"x9". The proposal for an official periodical was made at the 1951 Convention with a budget of $800 for 1,000 copies. However, official consideration did not come until the 1852 convention, which rejected the plan as 'unpractical.' Fourteen years later, the Convention of 1865 considered the issue again, but it was not until 1878 that the first issue of The Diamond was published."
