Changes in the format of Harvard Magazine, an alumni publication may also affect donations to the Fund, Clifton says. "Alumni need to feel they belong to a chronolgoical experience, not just four years," Peterson adds. The magazine will go free of charge to all alumni on alternate months. When the magazine does not publish, the Fund will send out a small pamphlet called Forum. Forum is not a fundraising appeal, he says, but a brief, more personal profile of a member of the faculty.

As a result, there has been less room for news. Reports from correspondents in the field, for instance, dropped to 140 in the first month of Walters' tenure, from 168 the month before...
