The Varsity (newspaper)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Varsity, the official student newspaper at the University of Toronto, is the second oldest student newspaper in Canada. Created in 1880, The Varsity is published twice weekly during the school year and three times over the summer months. The scope of the paper shifts between international, national, municipal and campus matters. There is an obvious emphasis on issues pertaining to students and U of T in particular. Like most student-published newspapers, The Varsity often assumes a left-of-centre stance on political affairs. The Varsity is a not-for-profit corporation partly subsidized by a student levy but mainly financed by local and national advertisers.
