"What is this publication about? This is for our readers to determine…. We solicit provocative and intelligent thinking, whether the medium be articles, poetry, essays, or black and white artwork, including photography. This is a forum in which students and faculty can express their concerns and creativity. Like so many other things, Ruby Bayou is going to be what we make of it" ~ Ruby Bayou Staff, 1995-96
After five issues, Ruby Bayou ceased to publish. The last issue alludes to successive ones, inviting contributors to submit and expressing excitement to see what the magazine would become. Although not many issues were published, this is the first Geneseo magazine with an obvious focus towards the political and towards social justice.
