Common Quandaries
What are the boundaries of political correctness for The LOG? How inappropriate are you going to get?
- The LOG Mission Statement: The LOG Magazine is an organization of Midshipmen whose goal is to publish a humorous periodical for the enjoyment of the Brigade. It is not within our objectives to undermine the mission the Naval Academy. We do not condone racism, sexism, the glorification of alcohol, sexual misconduct, or mean-spirited personal attacks on individuals for the sake of comedy. The LOG Magazine is an outlet for creativity, artistic ability, and comedic talent. We aim to boost morale, maintain a sense of humor, and give the Brigade a periodical that is truly theirs.
What happened to The LOG, and who is the stud who is bringing it back?!
- The LOG was the magazine of the Brigade of Midshipmen from 1913 until 2000, when it was abruptly cancelled due to inappropriate content. In its 85 volumes, The LOG Magazine chronicled the life of the Brigade and boosted morale. It was the pressure valve for Mother B.
