The Lantern is the name of the official, daily student-published university newspaper at The Ohio State University. It is one of the largest campus newspapers in the United States, reaching a circulation of 15,000.
Sections of The Lantern include Campus, Sports, Arts+Entertainment and a Student Voice page managed by the editor-in-chief.
Copies of the paper are free and available on campus and throughout Columbus. Editions are published in print Monday through Friday with online-only editions published Fridays (with exceptions) and during Summer Quarter.
The Lantern received national attention in 2011 when it broke news regarding members of the school's illustrious football team selling memorabilia for money and tattoos.
The paper was chartered in 1881 and became an integral part of the School of Journalism in 1914. At one time in the past, with a circulation of 28,000 papers during the regular school year and readership of 75,000, it was the third largest college newspaper in the country.
The Lantern was a weekly newspaper that was published in Cape Town from 1877 until the 1880s. It took a strongly pro-imperialist "jingoist" stance and was one of the earliest newspapers in southern Africa to feature satirical cartoons.
The Lantern was owned and edited by an English immigrant Alfred A. Geary, but after he died from a long illness in 1880, it was taken over by Irishman Thomas McCombie. Its exact reach is unknown but it did not approach the mainstream newspapers such as the Times and Cape Argus in its distribution. Its readership was primarily composed of white British immigrant workers, the ethnic mobilisation of whom the paper played an important role.
Its populist articles took a strong position in favour of British imperial expansion in southern Africa, stronger ties with the British Empire, and a greater sense of ethnic identity for those of British descent. It typically attacked the mainstream press outlets such as Saul Solomon's newspaper the Cape Argus, for being "Negrophilist". It also strongly opposed any expansion of the multi-racial Cape Qualified Franchise.
The Lantern (Czech: Lucerna) is a 1938 Czech film directed by Karel Lamač and starring Jarmila Kšírová, Theodor Pištěk and Jarmila Beránková. It was based on a play by Alois Jirásek.
(Jagger/Richards)
We, on our present life,
Knew that the stars were right.
That if you are the first to go,
You'll leave a sign to let me know,
Tell me so.
Please, carry the Lantern lights.
You crossed the sea of night,
Free from the spell of fright
Your cloak it is a spirit shroud.
You'll wake me in my sleeping hours,
Like a cloud.
So, please, carry the Lantern high.
Me, in my sorry plight,
You waiting ev'ry night.
My face it turns a deathly pale,
You're talking to me, through your veil,
I hear you wail.
So, please carry the Lantern light.
The servants sleep,
The door's are barred.
You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part.
So, please carry the Lantern high.
