The Experimentalist

Founded in 1955 by members of the Geneseo English Club, The Experimentalist is the first known literary magazine on Geneseo’s campus. As the editors wrote in “Fatihah,” the editorial that began the first issue, "The purpose of The Experimentalist is to provide a medium of expression for the students of the College. We hope it will encourage people to write, to aspire to more articulate written expression, and to gain satisfaction from sharing thoughts and ideas with others."
