The semester after publication ceased on the ''Free Lance'', its former editor and much of the former periodical's staff founded the ''State Collegian'', a weekly newspaper. The newspaper was established independent of the university's control and produced its first issue in October 1904. In its first edition the ''State Collegiain'' editor William B. Hoke penned an editorial outlining the decline of the ''Free Lance'' and how the new paper would be different. Hoke outlined a mission to have a paper that contained news and events from around the community citing the failure of its predecessor to its shift away from news based content.<ref name="auto4"/><ref name="auto8"/><ref name="CollegianChronicles" />

The paper was published once a week on Thursdays, added photos and began printing in [[broadsheet]] form rather than on [[Tabloid (newspaper format)|tabloid-size paper]]. The paper was printed by Nittany Printing and Publishing Co., publishers of the ''State College Times'', now the ''[[Centre Daily Times]]'', where the ''State Collegian'' shared a downtown office with the State College paper.<ref name="auto4"/><ref name="auto8"/>
