The Magazine
A recurring annual Rumpus feature is "Yale's Fifty Most Beautiful People," where the editors select 25 men and 25 women in the student body to be featured in a glamour shot and profile.
Rumpus has a column devoted to rumors and embarassing campus hijinks called the "Rumpus Rumpus." Another regular feature is "Remedial Media," a vicious, but often hilarious critique of other campus publications including the Yale Daily News (always cited as the Yale Daily "News" or the YD"N") and the Yale Herald. Rumpus also closely follows the doings of Yale's Secret Societies, including Skull and Bones, to which both Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush belonged when they were seniors at Yale. The magazine regularly exposes membership lists and once even infiltrated the Skull and Bones retreat at Deer Island in Canada. A front page of the Yale Daily News. ...

Controversies Since its founding, Rumpus has met its share of controversies both in the courts and on the national stage. Rumpus was sued for libel in 1997 by a local New Haven landlord and ultimately settled the case. Source: Yale Daily News, October 30, 2001. In English and American law, and systems based on them, libel and slander are two forms of defamation (or defamation of character), which is the tort or delict of making a false statement of fact that injures someones reputation. ...

In the Spring of 2001, Rumpus violated all norms of college journalism by closely following the banal travails of First Daughter and Yale student, Barbara Bush. One article, cited by the Washington Post and other publications around the globe, detailed an incident where Bush and her friends deliberately escaped from the assigned Secret Service detail by stranding them at a tollbooth. (Bush was on her way to see a wrestling match at Madison Square Garden.) Barbara's driver had an EZ-Pass and the Secret Service did not, which put the Secret Service agents in a position where they had to race at a high speed to catch up with the First Daughter. The Barbara article received attention at the highest levels in the Secret Service and the White House, prompting the Yale administration to request that Rumpus pull the issue from their website for security concerns.

Founding Rumpus was first published in the Fall of 1992 by a half-dozen associates from the Yale Political Union and Calhoun College, one of Yale's twelve residential colleges. From the beginning, Rumpus has claimed to be the "Oldest College Tabloid", just as the Yale Daily News lays claim to be the "Oldest College Daily." (Source: Rumpus Magazine 10th Anniversary Issue.) 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ...
The Yale Political Union (YPU), a debate society that is the largest student organization at Yale University, founded in 1934 by Professor Alfred Whitney Griswold (1906–1963), who would later become University President, to combat the apathy that characterized Yales political culture in the 1930s. ...

The founding mission still remains in place: "The only magazine at Yale about 'Stuff at Yale'." (In 1992, other campus publications wrote pre-professional articles about New Haven issues or national issues.) The founders of Rumpus maintained an aim to write "to be read" by fellow students.
