The Yale Alumni Magazine is an alumni magazine about Yale University. It was founded in 1891.[1]

Hal Boyle praised the magazine in a 1957 column.[2]

Yale University took over operations of the Yale Alumni Magazine in 2015.[3] As of July 2015 the editor-in-chief was Kathrin Day Lassila.[3]

In 2006, the magazine published a recently uncovered 1918-letter between two Skull and Bones members talking about Geronimo's skull robbed by their own club, further alleging the club was secretly in possession of that skull.[4] In 2008, the magazine released an investigation seriously questioning Reinhold Niebuhr's authorship of the Serenity Prayer.[5]

In 2014, a cover of the magazine that featured the headline "Reaching beyond the low-hanging fruit," with the subhed "Yale College seeks smart students from poor families. They're out there — but hard to find," was widely criticized.[6][7]
