St. Edward’s Publications

A collection of official university and student publications, including:

  • Newspapers The St. Edward’s University newspaper fills a gap about Austin-based Catholic schools and the Catholic community in Central Texas from 1881 through the early 1920s, when very few papers provided Catholic news from across the state and country. Other papers published at St. Edward’s University include The Cadet and The Echo. The Cadet was the newspaper published by the St. Edward’s Military Academy during its operation from 1943-1946. The St. Edward’s High School was the only Catholic High School in Austin until 1966. The Echo was the student-run newspaper for the high school. It provides information about student life, sports, and campus announcements centered solely on the high school community. (Note: This collection is in progress and, therefore, may be incomplete)
  • Arete is St. Edward’s award-winning student-led publication that annually produces an academic journal consisting of students’ nonfiction essays, analyses, Capstone papers, and commentary. The publication has won The American Scholastic Press Association’s annual competition eleven times, including ten distinctions of first place with special merit. The journal pursues representation of different perspectives, ideas, and ideologies that embody the diversity in the St. Edward’s community.
  • Sorin Oak Review is the annual literature and arts journal of St. Edward's University. The journal was first published under the name Aesthetic Voice.
  • Saint Edward’s University: A Centennial History (1986) by Br. William Dunn, this book chronicles the origins of the university, the major historical figures involved, and the journey to its 100th anniversary.
