In 1927, a Montreal consultant noted that Queen鈥檚 6,000 living alumni needed a better sense of community, something to connect them to their time on campus.

In response, the university created the Queen鈥檚 Review (later renamed to the Queen鈥檚 Alumni Review), 鈥渢o foster a spirit of loyalty, fraternity and help鈥 in support of the just-created Queen鈥檚 Alumni Association. Headlined by an article by Chancellor and former Prime Minister Robert Borden, the first issue also contained articles by faculty such as W.A. Mackintosh and Nathan Dupuis, football coach 鈥淏illy鈥 Hughes, as well as updates on the progress of alumni.

In the nearly 100 years it has been published, the Alumni Review has become the go-to source of information for alumni looking to find out about Queen鈥檚 news. Its class notes section documents the achievements and milestones of Queen鈥檚 graduates, its book notes announce new books published by Queen鈥檚 faculty, staff and alumni, and its features explore the discoveries and work of the Queen鈥檚 community.
