The //Trinity Ivy// is annual College student-run yearbook which was published from 1873 to 2019. Its name probably comes from the [[class_day|Class Day]] tradition of planting [[class_ivy|ivy]] on the [[old_campus|old campus]] buildings. 

Though it was conceived of years earlier, having seen "like publications coming to our notice year after year, from almost every college in the land," it was first published in 1873 by the Class of 1874. The students "intended to represent the college in a way that cannot of course be done by the yearly [[catalog|catalogue]]...for the good of the college, and for the honor of the class...we need more life, all of us, faculty and students. Every new enterprise of this kind will start new blood through the system." ((Trinity Tablet, May 1873)) 

The earliest copies of the //Ivy// featured that year's academic calendar and course offerings, lists of the faculty and visitors to the campus, clubs, organizations, and their participants, and all of the enrolled students' names organized by class, including where they were from and where they lived on campus. Photographed portraits of students started appearing in the //Ivy// in 1907. It was initially published by the Junior Class, but that changed in 1946 when students of all class years were allowed to be elected to the //Ivy// board.

//Ivy// copies from each academic year have been uploaded to Trinity's [[https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/ivy/|Digital Repository]] so students may access past years online. Publication of the //Ivy// ceased periodicallyduring the years 1908, 1924, 1925, 1927, 1945, and 1946, often during times of war; however, the //Ivy// ceased publication entirely after 2019.
