Founded in
1890 , the magazine disbanded for unknown reasons in1893 . It was not until1998 that a handful of undergraduates revived the journal based on the original format. The staff has since grown to several dozen writers and contributors. In switching to a monthly in2005 , the magazine affirmed its place as a campus fixture. Recently, the magazine has begun to focus more on pieces of "hard" journalism, in contradistinction to its former, less serious, and more literary character. "The Blue and White" staff meets in the crypt of St. Paul's Chapel. The magazine's current editor-in-chief is Anna Phillips.The Bwog
