About this collection

Skull and Bones was first published in 1915 as a student newspaper produced by the 1918 class of the Medical College of Virginia (MCV). The publication paused after this class graduated, but was restarted in the Fall 1924. It then published nearly continuously until Spring 1952.

Another MCV newspaper, The Medicovan, began publication in February 1948. After Skull and Bones ceased publishing in 1952, it appeared as a section in The Medicovan from about 1953 to 1955.

The original print issues of Skull and Bones are housed in the Health Sciences Library Special Collections and Archives on the MCV campus.
