History
The Alumnae News was a publication created by the Queen's University Alumnae Association. The purpose of the publication was to reinforce the links with Queen's and between the alumnae. The decision to publish it was made at an executive meeting held in January 1916 and ratified at the Alumnae Association annual meeting. The Alumnae News was to be financed by membership dues and a copy provided to each member as she paid her membership fee. The first issue was published June 1916. The Alumnae News focused on news provided by alumnae and alumnae branches, along with short articles of interest, and the names and addresses of all the members of the Association. Twenty-four volumes of The Alumnae News were published over the next twenty-five years: only 1936 was without a volume as there was no editor available that year. The last volume was published in July 1940.
