The Alumnus

UW-L Alumnus Collection
The UW-L Alumnus Collection features the UW-La Crosse alumni publication first published under the name of the Alumni Bulletin in 1941. The publication was then renamed in 1950 to the Alumni Briefs, which remained until 1967 when the The La Crosse Alumnus adopted the new title. During the fall of 1979, Crossties replaced the previous title; however, this was shortlived as the Alumnus soon became the new title in 1981. Finally, 30 years later in 2011, the publication became known as the Latern, which still stands as the current title.
