The Coryphaeus

The Coryphaeus was the official student newspaper from 1960 until 1966, when it was succeeded by The Chevron.

Founding
The federation of Waterloo College and the University of Waterloo failed in the spring of 1960. The Cord Weekly and Enginews stopped their relationship and so students were forced to create a new student paper in the fall semester of 1960. The first issue of this newspaper was unnamed, but by the second issue they had was officially called it The Coryphaeus, the Greek word for leader.

In this second issue, The Coryphaeus stated: "From the Engineering Students 'Enginews' of last year we have developed into a University-wide publication from Arts, Science and Engineering".

Succession
In 1966, The Coryphaeus was renamed to The Chevron.
