Al Haz (November 1901) الحظّ

مجلة أدبية فكاهية انتقادية أسبوعية صاحبها ومؤسسها إسحق عطية

A “literary, comic and critical” bi-weekly magazine, with some interesting illustrations. Starting with the 9th issue, a motto appeared on the top of the cover page: “God, Nation, Virtue”. Originally founded in 1901 by Isaac Atiyah , it counted among its editors many poets such as Amin Takieddine (who went to Cairo where he established Al-Zouhour magazine with Antoun El Gemayel) and Salim Azar, both of whom went to become prominent poets and journalists. Among the subjects it tackled was a typical life of a student at SPC, and it was often done in a witty, interesting and comparative manner: see the article featured here regarding a comparison of students’ life at SPC and at Jesuit schools.
