The Quadrangle (or The Quad) is the student-run newspaper of Manhattan College. The Quadrangle publishes weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year at Manhattan College. It is editorially independent of the college's administration. The Quadrangle has continually published since its founding in 1924, when Manhattan College moved to its current location in the Riverdale section of The Bronx in New York City.[1] The Quadrangle is an official club of Manhattan College and is open to students of all academic fields of study.[2]
