Biographical/Historical Note:

This "expositional publication of the mentorial staff of the collegiate family" was named "The Broken Limb" because "many of the profs are out on a limb most of the time anyway, and--it broke!!  (Besides, all the rest of the oak tree has been used for titles)."  The first issue was published on 28 January 1941 and consisted of articles by and about Manchester College professors.  The total number of issues is unknown, but publication is definitely ceased.
