Student Publications
No matter how ephemeral student publications may initially seem to some, they reflect on the intellectual and social life of students while at school. What moves them, as students, to start publications that document and communicate to others their experiences, hopes, and anxieties? How do they interpret the sense of urgency and purpose of their own generation? Student publications are a significant intellectual undertaking that students bring to their academic institutions, both by reflecting the landscape of inquiry within their schools and in relation to the disciplines they are deeply involving themselves with.
TASK, the first GSD student publication, went to print in the summer of 1941. The first issue’s editors were Eunice Hall (Smith College), Warren H. Radford (GSD), Robert Hays Rosenberg (GSD), Richard W. Snibbe (GSD), Judith Turner (MIT), John B. Bayley (GSD), George Metzger (GSD). Six issues were published between 1941 and 1945; and a single post-war issue (number 7/8) was published in 1948.
