Queen's University in Kingston,Ontario . It was established in1873 , making it one of the oldest student newspapers inCanada . It is as old as the "Harvard Crimson ", the oldest continuously published student newspaper in theUnited States . "The Journal" is published twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays.The paper maintains a friendly rivalry with the humour paper on campus, "
Golden Words ". This is best exemplified by the annual publication of a fake edition of "The Journal", containing outlandish stories, by Golden Words.The publication is an editorially autonomous paper, guaranteed by the Alma Mater Society, its Constitution, and its Corporate By-laws.
