The College’s alumni publications have had a variety of formats and have covered alumni news in varying degrees. The first alumni publication, Alumni Chronicle, a monthly newspaper launched in 1923, focused on campus events, with only limited information on alumni. The second alumni publication, Alumni News, was launched in 1926 as a quarterly newspaper and included additional personal news on alumni. In 1931, Alumni News was transformed into a magazine, including feature length articles in addition to the alumni news, and continued in this format until 1969. No alumni publication was produced in 1970. A third alumni publication, a newsletter titled North Central Now, was introduced in 1971. All personal alumni news was included in a new “Class Notes” section, a practice that continues to the present. North Central Now became a magazine in 1981 and in 1991, began including the Annual Report.
