The Feildian was the magazine of Bishop Feild College, a Church of England academy for boys. The first publication of its kind in Newfoundland, it was established in 1893 with a twofold purpose: to foster school feeling and to chronicle the affairs of the College. Its content included news, correspondence, sports and a section on alumni. Publication ceased in 1960. (Vol. 1, no. 1, p. 2; Euguene P. Kennedy, "Bishop Feild College," Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, vol. 1, 195-6.) Frequency: irregular. Includes advertisements. In its first issue (October 1893) The Feildian was entitled Church of England College Magazine, the title being changed the following year when the institution was renamed Bishop Feild College. The Blue Review issue included in this collection appears to be a new school publication from the mid-1960s.
