G.Hassard, Arthur Francis, and Martin T.

The enterprise was opposed by college president John Larkin, SJ. Nonetheless, Larkin tolerated the Goosequill but strictly forbid it from being printed or circulated outside the college. After the graduation of the founding editorial staff (Hassard, Francis, and McMahon) in May 1855, editorial responsibilities were handed over to P.A. Hargous, Henry Smith, and Thomas A. O'Connor, but publication ceased. Attempts at establishing a successor publication included the titles Sem, The collegian, The critic, and The spy, but all were relatively short-lived. The first stable student publication finally appeared in 1882 with the Fordham College monthly; Note on related serial publication: Followed in 1856 by The critic, a similar manuscript student publication issued in secret to avoid censorship; Source of description: Vol. 1 no. 14; Title from masthead
