The Lathe (stylized as The LATHE) is the official student publication of Batangas State University Pablo Borbon main campus, serving as a platform for student journalism and creative expression. [1] The publication has a longstanding history, predating the university's current name and tracing its roots back to when the institution was known as Pablo Borbon Regional School of Arts and Trades, and earlier, as Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute. The earliest retrievable edition of The Lathe dates to a commencement issue in 1966, though it is widely believed that the publication existed earlier, despite the absence of concrete records to confirm this claim.

History

The name The Lathe is inspired by the lathe machine, a tool used for shaping wood and metal, reflecting the university's origins as a technical institution. The institution itself was founded in 1903 as the Manual Training School, under the leadership of its first American principal, Mr. Scheer, with the aim of providing practical trade skills, particularly in woodworking. [2]

Publications and editions

Over the years, The Lathe has expanded its scope to include five annual editions:

These editions represent various aspects of campus journalism, student opinions, and literary works. [2]

Awards

The Lathe has received multiple accolades for its contributions to campus journalism. One of its notable achievements was a special citation for Sensus Communis: The Lathe Journal at the Catholic Mass Media Awards. [6]
