The Climax, Hampshire's original student newspaper, has disappeared and reappeared continuously throughout the college's history. The current incarnation of the Climax has, over the past few years, covered a range of issues of vital import to the community, oftentimes serving as the only forum in which the administration, faculty, and studentry of the college come into dialogue with each other. In addition to gathering news and opinion from across the campus community, the Climax covers student work and entertainment.

The Climax will gladly work with any interested writers and photographers and holds regular staff meetings open to all Hampshire students and faculty. Journalists, writers, photographers, layout people, and copy editors are encouraged to contact us.

In print, The Climax is set in a typeface family designed by David Jonathan Ross (F03) as part of his Division III work in typography and type design.
