Address Style Changing<br />
In preparation for the use of auto-<br />
mated mail sorting equipment, the<br />
Post Office Department has prepared<br />
a standardized two-letter state abbre-<br />
viation for use by mailers. Since much<br />
of our alumni mail goes out in bulk,<br />
we have started to convert our ad-<br />
dressing to the new state abbrevia-<br />
tions. Some alumni will note that<br />
their addresses have been changed<br />
and others will soon note the differ-<br />
ence. This may help to explain why<br />
some state name abbreviations look<br />
incomplete.
