While relationships with alumni remain important to the College, the way in which the school interacts with its graduates has changed with time.
In a 1941 issue of The Signal, there is an article titled “Summer Sees Ten Alumni Take Vows; Graycar, Long Among Those Married.” This article lists the summer marriages of 10 different alumni and goes into detail about where the couple will reside, what organizations they were involved in on campus and even the members of their bridal party.
Today, it is hard to imagine that the personal lives of alumni would be as newsworthy.
