Its mission is to awaken pleasant reminiscences in the minds of the alumni, and to convey to them information regarding all their brother graduates.' In 1968, the Government of the Student Body set up a five-year plan to make the Bomb financially independent and made their last regular allocation in 1971. Our Bomb agrees with such a definition also. One form is used as a means of conveying messages to distant friends.

The origin of the yearbook's title is explained in the 1895 edition 'The first thought that comes to mind at the mention of the name'Bomb' is that of an instrument of war, exploding and causing destruction amongst enemies. The junior class produced the yearbook from 1891 to 1925, when the senior class took over with their own special 1925 special edition. The Iowa Agricultural College/Iowa State University yearbook, the Bomb was published annually from 1893 to 1994, with the exception of 1902.
