  • The Harrovian is a weekly newspaper published by Harrow School during term time "as an organ of record, and a forum for comment, debate and expression of individual opinion within the school". All articles are published anonymously, except for letters which are signed, though until recently with false names. The Harrovian is printed on cream paper and is usually 8 A4 sides long. Articles are written on any topic. There are comment articles on current affairs, reports on school trips, society meetings and concerts amongst other things as well as the results of school matches. The only regular columns are 'Here and There' which reports on achievements of Old Harrovians, staff weddings/babies and other notable events, and 'The Strutt' which is a scientific column set up in 2011. There have been and are other columns that persist for a term or so and then die out. For example satire columns such as the current 'Spyglass' column, recipe columns and university advice. The Harrovian has been published under various guises and titles since 1828. Previous titles include 'The Tyro' or 'The Record'. Almost all have survived in bound versions, though the earliest are simple Latin or Greek translations. At times through its history there have also been supplements, notably the War Supplements informing of the situation of Old Harrovians. Wikipedia
