Publication of Dominican University Magazine is bi-annual, and labeled seasonally (i.e. Sping/Summer, and Fall/Winter), with later issues labeled by individual seasons. Editions began with the Spring/Summer issue and continue though to today. Publication dates are variable, and the following list hopefully accounts for the inconsistencies.

We currently have the following issues:

• 1997, Spring/Summer & 1997-1998, Fall/Winter
• 1998, Summer/Fall
• 1999, Winter/Spring

Dominican University Magazine was formerly titled Rosary College Magazine.

According to the inaugural issue, For the Record had one purpose — “to inform our friends and patrons of all that concerns Rosary College: interesting campus events, plans for the future, the successes of our graduates, and even the occasional set-backs which occur in the history of any institution.” Issues appeared at “irregular intervals as the need of communicating information arises.” Publication began in February of 1957.

We currently have the following issues:

• 1957, February — 1964, July

It is unknown whether there are any missing issues, or if publication continued after July of 1964.
