Abstract:

Seven volumes of a student humor magazine produced at Haverford College between 1914 and 1916.

Begun in December, 1914, The Scarlet defined itself as being interested in "clean, wholesome humor" and noted that its purpose was to "foster the sarcastic spirit among the undergraduates and to provide an organ for the discussion of questions not relative to college life and policy." They accepted submissions from the student body, which were revised by the editoral board.

Contains issues of The Scarlet, a student humor magazine from 1914 to 1916. The magazine was scheduled to be published monthly on the first of each month. The last volume in the collection notes that the current board of editors will be stepping down as new editors have been elected; it is unclear if the new editorial board produced further issues. Each issue includes anecdotes, stories, photographs, and drawings.
