Since 1901, the University of Minnesota's alumni publication's purpose has been -- as editor E.B. Johnson wrote in the first issue September 14, 1901 -- "To make the alumni acquainted with what is going on at the University at all times, and to foster a genuine University spirit among the alumni, by keeping them in touch with the University and each other."

In the January-February 2008 issue you will find stories about University happenings, interesting events and alumni, Gopher sports, and more. Links to stories for which the Alumni Association owns electronic publishing rights are listed below.
