Each year we make a poster centering Pratt Institute's seal. (See the two previous designs here and here).

This year we dig up a little bit into the archive of the Prattler, a Pratt student publication, thanks to the school library digital collection. What we found was a trove of rich documentation on the school’s history, captured through student journalism and submissions. The pages recount anecdotes like protests over tuition hikes, coverage of fire incidents, cockroach encounters in the dorms, stolen art supplies, and other iykyk moments for Pratt insiders. We invite you—alumni or not—to dig into these pages and see how student-led publishing weaves a parallel history: one built on dorm-room truths, protest posters, and personal, messy, voices that are often more truthful than the official record.

A rough selection of the Prattler cover, ranging from 1940 to 1995.
