Notice Clipping, Ariel, April 28, 1900
On April 28, 1900, the last issue of Ariel was delivered to the post office boxes of subscribers in the Main Building.
A final editorial provided an epitaph for Ariel and extended a welcome to The Minnesota Daily:
"There should be no regret that the Ariel is no longer to be. Around the name may cling pleasant memories for those who have been closely associated with it as editors; on its pages are written many words that might be reread with profit today; but the principle, the motive, which causes the practical man of this age to throw aside useless and unnecessary things, had brought to an end its existence.
Nevertheless the spirit which gave it birth yet ‘lives and moves and has its being.' The Daily is but the offspring of it. Time has come and gone; a new civilization impelled onward by the daily newspaper touches every portion of the earth, and today has touched our boundaries. And we greet it with no hesitating step, no doubting mind. We have been waiting its advent long. Now it is here. Farewell, Ariel! Welcome, Minnesota Daily."
A notice informed readers that the new publication would be published on and after May 1, 1900.
