Collection of The Green and White newspaper

The Green and White, subtitled "the official student publication at Ohio," was the student run campus newspaper of Ohio University from December 2, 1911 to July 28, 1939. It was succeeded by The Post in fall 1939.

The paper published many legitimate news articles and functioned as a serious newspaper would, but retained a light-hearted feel by peppering the publication with short, humorous news bites and illustrations. The Green and White ran at the same time that strictly humorous publications such as The Wasp and The Green Goat were also in publication. The two "Green" publications often took jabs at each other in regards to quality of content, ability of staff and ability to stay afloat, but profited from this mutual free advertising. The masthead for a 1913 broadsheet states that the paper was "published weekly during the college year by the students of the institution." A subscription cost $1.50 a year with single copies priced at 5 cents. The paper covered mostly Ohio University news, including articles about professors, student life, fraternities and sororities, athletics and entertainment. The paper also contains many advertisements from local Athens businesses.
