The "Cottonian" is the annual journal of the Cotton College family reflecting the experiences and aspirations of the Cottonians. It is edited, designed and managed by Cottonians and monitored by teachers of the college. Beginning as "The Cotton College Magazine" in 1922-23 with Professor R. C. Goffin of the Department of English as the Editor; it became the "Cottonian" in 1933 with Suresh Chandra Rajkhowa and Raihan Shah as the first student Editors. It attains to its present self-possessed stature through the will and enthusiasm of a host of Cottonians and the affectionate concern of the people of Assam for this premier institute of higher education, which is the oldest in the region. Many stalwarts of Assamese literature first broke into print in the pages of "Cottonian", who later became renowned litterateurs of National fame. They include Surya Kumar Bhuyan, Bani Kanta Kakati, Krishna Kanta Handique, Jatindra Nath Duara, Maheswar Neog, Birendra Kumar Bhattacharyya, Bhupen Hazarika, Sayed Abdul Malik, Bhabendra Nath Saikia, Homen Borgohain, Mamoni Roisom Goswami and many others. The "Cottonian" ably and proudly carries that legacy and continues to serve as a window of Cotton College to the world.
