History of The Ohioan
The Ohioan was a satirical magazine published by Ohio University (OU) students in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Like The Green Goat magazine, which temporarily ceased publication the same year The Ohioan was founded (1933), The Ohioan contains jokes, comics, and humorous narratives. But unlike The Green Goat, The Ohioan contains much more OU specific content, including photos of students and events. The Ohioan is also much tamer than The Green Goat, with less sexualized content. The Green Goat resumed publication in 1956, picking up where The Ohioan seemingly left off; not enough definitive information is known about The Ohioan to know exactly which issue was its last.
This student publication is not the same as the 1911 newspaper by the same name.
