Semper Floreat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Semper Floreat (Latin: "May it always flourish") is the student newspaper of the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia. It has been published continuously by the UQ Union since 1932, when it began as a fortnightly newsletter of only a few pages, produced by one editor. In 2005, Semper had become a 60-page, bi-monthly magazine with a glossy cover and three full-time editors. The editors are elected annually by the student body. Semper is widely considered to occupy an important position in Brisbane's cultural and radical history, and has been closely connected with such cultural icons as Time Off and 4ZZZfm.

The University of Queensland Library holds the most complete collection of the newspaper; copies are also held in the State Library of Queensland, the Queensland Parliamentary Library, and the National Library of Australia in Canberra.
