he Rensselaer Pup has some wonderful examples of graphic design and student art from the first half of the 20th century. As a student-generated humor magazine it possesses some questionable content as well as beautiful covers. Often the images from the covers play toward other popular magazines or comics of the time. A few covers sport photographs, but the majority showcase student drawing and design.

on the 5th attempt, the online achive opened - great memories, I recognized most of the covers from 49 to the bitter end
I was fortunate to obtain a copy of the last PUP issue in 1951 on ebay,. The listing on eBay stated that it was almost complete except for the last chapter which was somehow missing. When I received the issue it was in good shape. In a typical PUP trick the contents listed the title of the last chapter as Everything you wanted to Know about SEX. Naturally it never existed.
I promised to bring that issue to our class of 1952 mini reunion this Fall. Yes there are still some of us pre-transistor engineers still kicking
