Biographical / Historical
The Lawrentian began as the Lawrenceville Alumni Bulletin in 1906. It was published by the Alumni Association and served as their official publication. Early editions focused on school business, alumni events, class notes featuring alumni updates, memorials and obituaries, and essays on school history. The Lawrenceville Alumni Bulletin became The Lawrentian in 1937. As the 20th century progressed, the scope of the magazine was expanded to emphasize connections between Lawrenceville and the global community. This shift in focus included feature pieces on alumni, students, and faculty and their activities away from Lawrenceville.
The Lawrentian remains in publication today. Though it remains the official alumni publication, The Lawrenceville School Communications Department is now responsible for publication and editorial duties.
