The Chimes, a student creative writing magazine originally published by the Student Cooperative Association, premiered in June 1957. As of 1960, the “The” was dropped, and the publication became Chimes.It was originally published annually, generally in May. Beginning in 1976, it was published twice a year in Fall and Spring. The Chimes/Chimes contained poetry, short stories, and essays. 1968 is missing. The author for each entry is indicated, as is the editorial staff for each issue. The Chimes/Chimes is contained in 27 folders.
A successor to Chimes in 1980, T.S.C. Poetry Review: Chimes was published until 1983. In 1984, it became Lion's Eye. Published annually, the T.S.C. Poetry Review comprised poems, drawings, photographs, and occasional short stories, primarily created by students. The preface to the 1980/81 edition indicated dissatisfaction with previous editorial policies, presumably of Chimes, and announced a new direction, reflecting the "energy of poetry." Each issue was funded by the Student Activities Fund. T.S.C. Poetry Review is contained in 3 folders.
Lion's Eye premiered in Spring 1984 as a replacement of the Poetry Review. The Editor's message in the premier edition indicated that Lion's Eye would be a "campus arts magazine." It became The Lion’s Eye in 1989. It has been published twice annually, once each semester (some years contain a Summer issue, as well), and has ranged from 42-65 pages per issue. Like its predecessors, it contains poetry, drawings, photographs, and short stories by both students and faculty. Some of the covers and interior spreads are published in color.
