The First Messages

Dr. John Hicks of Drake University was the Message editor around 1970. AEI Historian Liz Craw wrote:

The Message newsletter is published electronically each month during the school year. Members receive an email through Constant Contact with links to both a Google Doc and to a digital publishing service called issuu. The digital eMagazine from issuu allows searches for subject matter, enabling you to find articles in back issues.

Here are links to the past issues of The Message:

Google Docs Sept. 2010 to present
