History
edit
The Aquinas, the university's first student publication, was originally established in 1916 as the monthly literary magazine of St. Thomas College, now called the University of Scranton.[2] The inaugural issue of The Aquinas was published in January 1916.[2] The publication remained a literary magazine from 1916 until 1931, with the final issue of each academic year serving as a yearbook for St. Thomas College's graduating class.[2]
In 1931, The Aquinas became the student newspaper of St. Thomas College.[2] (The school was renamed The University of Scranton in 1938). The newspaper has been published weekly or biweekly throughout its history.[2] The Aquinas is presently a weekly newspaper, published on Thursdays.[2]
In February 2014, the newspaper's staff released an editorial calling for improved access to information, including university crime statistics.[3]
As of 2020, the Editor in Chief of The Aquinas is Kelsey Wynn and its Co-Managing Editors are Kelly Nee and Phil Rauch.
