The Yale Record is America’s oldest college humor magazine, a fact you may already have noticed since we’ve plastered it all over this website. Since we were founded in 1872 (into what seems now a far-off world, one without automobiles, female undergraduates, or un-sexually-frustrated male undergraduates), we’ve got a long, crazy history, and some pretty cool alumni as well.

The current magazine is published four times a year, along with supplementals, barring catastrophe on a scale of The Core—although production of past issues has been suspended due to a sudden lack of movement of the molten ore at the center of the earth—and is circulated on and off campus in print form, by email, and by astral projection.  If you’d like to subscribe to the Record, you can either do so here or email the Circulation Manager for more information. Please send general questions to the Chairman, and advertisers should contact the Publisher.

If you’d like to join the Record, there are plenty of ways to do so; you don’t even have to be funny to come hang out (although some sense of humor is preferred). Joining the staff—as a writer, artist, designer, or business staffer—is easy and more or less painless. If you’re interested in joining, email record@yale.edu, or come have some free pizza at our weekly meetings, on Tuesdays at 9PM in WLH 112.

That about does it…if you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us; meanwhile, have a look around the site and try to laugh a little…it’s good for you.

Yours in funny,

The Yale Record
