THE LAVENDER
Wesleyan University's Bi-semester Poetry and Prose Magazine.
Submissions open now for Vol.5: Obsessions!
Why "The Lavender?":
The Lavender is an homage to the fact that Wesleyan University’s official color used to be lavender. The color was changed because according to an October 1884 issue of the Argus, lavender was not suitable for intercollegiate sports. “Lavender is not a striking color,” the editorial proclaimed. Well, 1884 critic, we here at The Lavender find the color incredibly striking if we do say so ourselves!
