Editorial policies of necessity must change. In the future it may be necessary to return to the traditional annual publication of these articles in the Register or as a separate publication. News from the Societies, because of its regional interest, may be published in summary form. When published, two review copies are requested. It takes more than two hours to complete each of the 80-plus Class Notes pages.
Additional time is required to crop and caption photos and scan text submitted in hard copy.
Several steps have been taken including the retention of a Class Notes Editor now at CGSC and the mailing of galley proofs to Class Scribes before the deadline for the next issue. Evolution will continue. A virtual West Point site also is a possibility. It will include extended biographies of early graduates and the best data tables and historical articles from all earlier Registers. It will be available in library and deluxe bindings.
