Overview and metadata sections

Orthodox Oracle is a student satirical newspaper. The tagline for Orthodox Oracle was "The Good - The True - The Beautiful." A disclaimer regarding the Editorial Board reminds readers that "Editorials in the Oracle do not necessarily represent the opinion of any one particular group in the vicinity, in fact, often times, they represent nothing at all." It is unclear if there were additional issues of the publication.

The collection contains one issue of a Haverford student satirical newspaper from 1945. The issue included fake news articles, photographs, and fake advertisements. Many of the pieces satirized life at Haverford.
