The Stylus of Boston College

The Stylus is the literary magazine of Boston College. Founded in 1882, it is the oldest club at Boston College and one of the oldest literary magazines in the country.

History
At the time of its founding, the Stylus acted as both literary magazine and newspaper for Boston College. The Heights (newspaper), Boston College's current student newspaper, split off in 1919 and eventually became independent of the university itself.

Stylus has been published continuously since its founding in 1882, except for a hiatus during World War II, when Boston College temporarily closed. However, this is not generally considered to be a break in continual publishing for American collegiate publications. Several other organizations claim continuous publishing despite World War II hiatuses - including, among others, the Harvard Advocate (est. 1866).

Current Club
Though originally published monthly, Stylus now comes out once per semester. It is run by an Editor-In-Chief and a Managing Editor with a team of other editors.
