The University has printed 11,000 new alumni directories, most of which were scheduled to be shipped in mid August. The hardback volume lists the University’s 321,000 living alumni along with 16,000 who have died since the last directory was published five years ago. Entries include full names, degrees, honors, occupational fields, and contact information.

As this magazine went to press, about 900 directories were left; each costs $89 (domestic) and $109 (international), with shipping included. To order, call the Alumni Records Office at 617-495-2371.

Published in the September-October 2005 print issue under the headline “Hot Off the Press!,” in the Alumni section.
