About Us
“Blushing as coyly as any schoolgirl, and with the excited fears and hopes of a debutante ... we lay this first edition of The Hoya at the feet of the student body, and retreat to a safe distance to observe the effects.”
— Joseph R. Mickler Jr. (CAS ’20), The Hoya’s first editor-in-chief, in the paper’s debut issue on Jan. 14, 1920.
