As the University prepares a new generation of electronic publications for faculty, staff, students and friends, the University of Chicago Chronicle is publishing its final issue. The University News Office launched the Chronicle 28 years ago as a way to speak directly to the University community, at a time when newspapers were a firmly established habit and print provided one of the most economical ways to reach a large number of people. |
