[edit] Lexerd
The Lexerd is the official yearbook of Drexel University. The official Drexel yearbook had two precursors, The Hanseatic and The Eccentric, both published as class books in 1896.[1] The official yearbook was first published in 1911 and was officially named the Lexerd in 1913.[2] It is student-run and the name is simply "Drexel" spelled backwards. The Lexerd has won several awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. In 1980 it won third place, in 1981 second place, in 1982 it won first place, and in 1983 it won second place again in its annual contest. In April 2006 The Triangle reported that the yearbook may not publish due to shortage of student volunteers, but the Lexerd has continued to publish.
