That New Design<br />
Editor: Congratulations on the new<br />
format. It is excellent! I refer not only<br />
to the new layout and typography but<br />
also to the changes in style and headlines.<br />
I have been critical of the News on<br />
some occasions in the past when I've<br />
felt that it was accentuating the negative<br />
rather than the positive, but I'll<br />
admit that as far as <strong>Cornell</strong> is concerned,<br />
Γm a cheerleader rather than<br />
an editor. And I recognize that your<br />
straightforward, balanced approach<br />
has built great credibility for the publication.<br />
You deserve great credit for successfully<br />
managing the Alumni News<br />
for so many years, and for keeping it<br />
up with the times.<br />

I hate it! The new format and typography<br />
are an abomination. I find nothing<br />
wrong in a revised cover. I think a different<br />
treatment there is fine. And I<br />
do like the short boxed profiles that<br />
dot the Class Notes.<br />
But I can't see why you are trying<br />
to emulate such popular magazines as<br />
People or Money or New York, which<br />
are trendy and mistakenly thought to<br />
appeal to a wide audience of unkempt<br />
youth. It was the same jolt as waking<br />
up one morning to find Boardman<br />
Hall was gone, and a penitentiary<br />
building had replaced it. We all have<br />
come to love our Alumni News, so<br />
treat it gently.<br />

What a marvelous change your consultants<br />
have brought about in the design<br />
of the Alumni News. It is truly a<br />
wonderment.<br />
Morris P. Glushien '29, JD '31<br />
Great Neck, New York<br />
It now looks more up-to-date and perhaps<br />
more eye-catching and attractive.<br />
I nevertheless feel that the AlumniNews<br />
has sacrificed an older and admittedly<br />
more ' "staid" image for a<br />
glitzy New York magazine appearance.<br />
In short, I prefer the old Alumni<br />
News.<br />

The redesign is terrific. Separation of<br />
titles makes reading easier. Type is<br />
nice. Pictures are great.<br />
Edith Sheffield Lesure '42<br />
Altamonte Springs, Florida<br />
<strong>Cornell</strong> and reading magazines are<br />
two favorite passions in my life. I still<br />
love <strong>Cornell</strong>, but I feel like divorcing<br />
the redesigned Alumni News. The<br />
March issue is stark! I cannot believe<br />
Alumni News readers prefer the flavorless<br />
report-like articles. Please<br />
don't abandon the colorful style which<br />
captured the unique world of <strong>Cornell</strong>.<br />
Bruce H.Clements 78<br />

The new format is lovely and lively.<br />
RobertJ.Silman'56<br />

The new format is dreadful! It is slick,<br />
cold and ugly—the antithesis of <strong>Cornell</strong>.<br />
I want the old style and format—slightly<br />
square, slightly anachronistic,<br />
but always warm and handsome—which<br />
monthly evokes memories<br />
of spring on the Arts Quad.<br />
Susan Mascette Brandt '68<br />
Rochester, New York<br />
The March News is very attractive<br />
and shows a decided improvement<br />
over some previous issues. I like the<br />
bold letters which identify the classes.<br />
George West'23<br />
Rochester, New York<br />
I find the new format unnecessary,<br />
without merit, even vulgar. "If it ain't<br />
broke, don't fix it!" You'll find my<br />
copy hidden under the Ithaca College<br />
Quarterly.<br />

New format is great!<br />
