In the early part of the 20th century, "The Alumni Monthly Bulletin"-one of the first U of L alumni periodical-promised to inform readers about "the developments that have made the University of Louisville one of the greatest municipal universities in America." In the years since that early publication, much has changed at U of L. No longer a municipal school, we have evolved into a leading metropolitan teaching/research university. And like the university itself, the publication charged with telling its story has evolved. UofL magazine is more than an alumni bulletin. It endeavors to provide both a window into the school for alumni as well as a view for those who live and work here. Since first appearing in the summer of 1982 with the tag line "From Here to Futurity," UofL magazine has chronicled the life and times at the University of Louisville. Given enough pages the magazine could tell as many stories as it has readers-currently 104,000. We never have enough pages, a reality faced by any publication assigned to cover such vibrant, ever-evolving subject matter. Following are summaries and highlights of the almost 4,000 pages from UofL magazine, taken from selected issues over the past 20 years.
