 MISSION
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."

Minnesota proudly carries on that mission.
HISTORY
