Lorem Ipsum* is a satirical publication written, edited, and published by students of Choate Rosemary Hall to discuss, critique, and illustrate campus and global issues through a humorous lens. Founded in 2015 by James Rose ’18, our readership extends beyond the student body, school faculty, and campus staff to include alumni, parents, and others not on campus. Although much of our mission centers on providing an outlet to discuss relevant and contentious issues from a satirical perspective, the publication also functions as a form of student entertainment.
Articles are distributed in print issues on campus at regular intervals as well on our website, app, and various social media platforms. The group maintains about a 50+ member team of writers, editors, and other staff, as well as a 250+ member total email list with an average weekly meeting attendance of 40 members. In 2017, the publication added a new team focusing on video content, mainly consisting of student-written skits and unscripted interviews. These videos available are available on YouTube and social media.
Interested students should attend weekly meetings of the club, which occur Tuesdays in the Project Room of St. John’s Hall (Room 306) at 6:45 PM. To submit a piece or be added to the email list, please email us at loremipsum@choate.edu. All quotations, events, and references attributed to real life persons are fabricated for comedic effect, and should not be interpreted as real occurrences. Although all articles are written under pseudonyms, which may or may not remain constant across different print issues, the writers involved in each issue are listed within the issue’s writers’ list, and all positions (“Staff Writer,” “Copy Editor,” etc.) are accurate to the actual authors of pieces. Lorem Ipsum* editors and advisers retain knowledge of the actual writers of each piece.

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Lorem Ipsum collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Lorem Ipsum*’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Lorem Ipsum*’s visitors use its website.
Lorem Ipsum* also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on loremipsum.choate.edu blogs/sites. Lorem Ipsum* only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Lorem Ipsum* discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Lorem Ipsum*’s behalf or to provide services available at Lorem Ipsum*’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Lorem Ipsum’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lorem Ipsum* will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Lorem Ipsum* discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Lorem Ipsum* believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lorem Ipsum*, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Lorem Ipsum* website and have supplied your email address, Lorem Ipsum* may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Lorem Ipsum* and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Lorem Ipsum* takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
