The Harvard Crimson
The Harvard Crimson, the nation's oldest continuously published daily college newspaper, was founded in 1873 and incorporated in 1967. The newspaper traces its history to the first issue of "The Magenta," published January 24, 1873, and changed its name to "The Crimson" to reflect the new color of the college on May 21, 1875.
The Crimson has a rich tradition of journalistic integrity and counts among its ranks of editorship some of America's greatest journalists. The faces of Pulitzer Prize-winning Crimson editors line the walls of The Crimson. Past editors include John F. Kennedy '40. The name of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Class of 1904, is proudly engraved upon The Crimson's president's chair.
One hundred and fifty years after its founding, The Harvard Crimson continues to flourish with a strong body of undergraduate staff volunteers.
