Mission Statement
Founded in 2003 by Harvard Graduate students, The
Harvard Satyrical Press is Harvard University's only official graduate student
humor magazine, sponsored by the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences and the Harvard
Graduate Student Council. We specialize in news format satire and are unabashedly
inspired on a daily basis by The Onion.
The major objective of the Harvard Satyrical Press (HSP) is to publish
a high quality, satirical humor magazine run by Harvard
graduate students, but with contributions also encouraged from students
in the professional schools and from undergraduates. Our belief that
a little more comedy is a crucial ingredient towards improving the
quality of life of students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
(GSAS), and the Harvard student community at large. The magazine, which
began as a website only, has been distributing printed
issues around Harvard campus each semester since 2004. HSP will, in practice,
be largely directed towards GSAS students, although, in the spirit
of inclusiveness, it will accept and encourage submissions from Harvard
students outside GSAS. Although submissions will
be largely limited to the Harvard student community, the HSP audience
can in principle extend to Harvard faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and
staff, and in reality, anyone in the world who happen to find the website,
and for some reason think it's funny. This will be the first and only
current official graduate student run humor magazine, and we hope to
give the existing undergraduate humor publications a little healthy
competition, and maybe even convince some of their best comedians to
venture over to the dark side.
