- | ====== About the Stanford Chaparral ====== | ||
- | |||
- | The Stanford Chaparral has been continuously published since 1899, and since 1906 by the Hammer and Coffin Society. | ||

- | There have been at least five threatened suspensions or expulsions in the the history of the Chappie. None of them were carried out, however. This would include two for editorial criticisms of the university in 1901 and 1906, two for allegedly obscene issues (Purple Ape in 1951 and Layboy in 1961), and the infamous Dead Bowlers prank in 1980. | ||

Larrey Bowman conceived the personified “Chappie” in a rough sketch from which Adams made the drawing which adorned the cover of the first volume. The first student subscriber was Carl Hayden, the future Arizona senator. | ||
