| Administrative History | The Battersea Polytechnic Magazine was a student magazine produced by the Battersea Polytechnic Students' Representative Councils. The first edition of the magazine appeared in July 1908 at a cost of 2d and was published six times a year. By 1916 the number of issues had been reduced to 4 per year and was further reduced to 3 by 1922. In December 1931 the magazine was renamed and re-issued as 'Polygon' following difficulties in obtaining original contributions. |
