Description

This series consists of one bound volume containing four issues of The Hostel, a student journal produced by the Hostel of the College of Domestic Economy. Issues are Vol. 1(1) November 1913, Vol. 2(2) April 1914, Vol. 2(3) November 1914, Vol. 3(1) May 1915.

In its first editorial, The Hostel noted its main principle as the welfare and advancement of past and present students. Its primary object was to propagate full and free discussion of all objects of common interest to them, and to enable sound and searching criticism to be made on all subjects which deal with the Hostel, its members, their work and future prospects.

The Magazine of the Emily McPherson College of Domestic Economy Volume 1(1) December 1927 p.13 contains a brief article on forerunner student magazines, noting about 1914 and 1916 [sic] there were two copies of a tiny printed journal called The Hostel, issued from the old Hostel at 217 Sydney Road, Parkville.

The issues held are therefore believed to be the only ones published.
