Otterbein Aegis
In 1890 the Otterbein Aegis, of the same general character [a monthly publication], and under the same auspices [the Philophronean Literary Society], was established and has ever since been issued by the Philophronean Publishing Company. It is a monthly, issued ten months in the year, at the very reasonable subscription rate of fifty cents per annum [approximately $14.00 in 2019].
It has well maintained the high standard of its predecessor, the Record, and has not simply chronicled the events of importance in the local work of the university and the notable achievements of its sons and daughters abroad, but has put to record much of the best literary output of the university during the period of its publication. It has been very loyal and faithful to the university, and has rendered very effective service in promoting its interests and welfare.
The Otterbein Aegis successfully concluded its publication in the spring of 1917, when all student journalistic efforts were turned toward the new weekly newspaper, The Tan and Cardinal which is also archived in the Digital Commons@Otterbein.
