Administrative history

Nuance was a student produced publication that was published in 1953 and 1954. In the notes from the editor in the first issue, it stated that "we hope to to establish a place for the publication of student writing that is free from censorship of convention."

According to an article from the Minneapolis Tribune, July 24, 1954, further publication of Nuance was suspended due to a story that was published in the May 1954 issue. Entitled "Said Driver to Rider," the story caused a furor around the state of Minnesota, due to its depiction of "racial prejudice" and use of "obscene language." Minnesota governor Elmer Anderson denounced the story, calling it "repulsive."
