Logos, vol. 1, no. 1, April 1959
Logos, a student writing publication from Central College (now Central Methodist University). Vol. 1, no. 1, published April 1959. 23 pages of text with saddle stitch binding.
Front Cover: "Logos... for half-baked but thick-shelled eggheads. THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE... After nearly a year of erratic progress, a nebulous idea has reached that milepost which marks the frontier of the Land of Concrete: 'Vol. 1, No. 1.' The editors of Logos (which they freely translate as 'discussion;) have arrived too recently to predict their future path, or even if they will be able to move on at all. They recognize that a magazine of this type is unusual among small colleges, but relish all the more this chance to conform to the non-conformist vogues. Ultimately, success will rest on the interest of students, faculty, and alumni -- and the contributions they submit. Although the bulk of material will be serious essays of medium length, thoughtful fiction and humor, as well as brief letters and longer articles, will be welcomed. A more complete statement of purpose will be found on page 2. Other offerings include: Rogers Adams: The Drugged Generation, Page 3; Julius Juracsik: Zhivago in Exile, Page 7; Bruce Bridger, PSI, Page 11; Elaine Kidwell, Have Sheepskin -- Will Travel, Page 18; Dave Dodd, Propaganda -- A War, Page 21. Central College. Price 25¢. Fayette, Missouri." -

Logos is a journal of thoughtful opinion published by the Logos Editorial B [sic] Board and sponsored by Scibblers and Scrawlers, a creative writing organization at Central College, Fayette, Mo. Proce [sic] per issue: 25. The positions presented in signed articles are those of the individual authors, and not necessarily those of the editors, of Scribblers and Scrawlers, or of Central College. -- the editors. ...
LOGOS, a prose magazine, was established last year with the explicit purpose of stimulating 'intellectual growth.' Two issues were published last year in this purpose.
As could well be the case with any magazine operating purposely with no deadline, months passed before the first issue of volume 2 could be produced. Whatever the cause, it was some time before sufficient material of the quality demanded was accumulated.
The editors make no rash claims as to the material presented, though we certainly feel that our purpose is upheld. And such a magazine is perhaps unique on the small college campus.
A second issue before the end of this year is likely sufficient productive interest os developed by this one. Prose articles should provide the bulk of the material but letters, fiction, and poetry are certainly welcome." -
