| | | | About Minnesota | | 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."
