A close look at the spine type on this issue reveals that 1999 marks the 75th anniversary of the Harvard Business School Bulletin. Originally published as part of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, the magazine, as a separate monthly publication for Business School graduates, debuted on January 3, 1925.
That first issue—a modest eight pages long—included a message to alumni from Dean Wallace B. Donham; HBS club news; a report on a dinner honoring the School’s legendary benefactor, George F. Baker; synopses of several cases in the Business School curriculum, along with an offer to make the cases available to graduates at a cost of ten cents each; and, of course, class notes—then called ”personal items“—for the classes MBA ’14 through MBA ’24.
Plans are under way for a special issue this December celebrating the Bulletin’s long and distinguished history of keeping HBS graduates in touch with the latest developments at the School. This spring, watch for a survey in the magazine asking for your opinions on business developments over the last 75 years, with the results to be published in the December issue.
As always, we encourage input from the Bulletin’s readers, whether by fax, phone, e-mail, or the form favored by the magazine’s readers in 1925—good old-fashioned letters. As the then editorial board chairman Harold R. Hall (MBA ’22) wrote in his introduction to the inaugural issue, “Suggestions and criticisms will be appreciated.”
