Trinity College has published an alumni news magazine, which took various forms, since 1939. In 1970, the publication was officially changed to the Trinity Reporter. Most issues are also available for on-screen reading via Issuu.
As the official magazine of Trinity University, Trinity magazine: fosters a sense of connectedness among all members of the University community, including alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, donors, and friends; engages audiences in current events and issues on campus and around the world; and reflects the culture, personality, and values of the institution. Trinity magazine establishes a bond between its constituents and the University, which will create a climate for philanthropy and service.
Trinity prohibits harassment and discrimination based on protected status , including sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. Any person may report harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct and bias online , through the Anonymous Campus Whistleblower Report Line , or by contacting Trinity's Title IX Coordinator, Nicole Monsibais. You may also report in person or by mail addressed to her at One Trinity Place, Northrup Hall 210J, San Antonio, TX 78212.
While we were unable to gather in person, Trinity Rep published four issues of a quarterly magazine as one way to stay connected with our community. Once a standalone publication, Trinity Square Magazine later merged with show programs and then returned during our pause in live performances to provide behind-the-scenes stories about our staff, partners, students, programs, and projects.
The Spirit of Trinity. It's not a new concept, yet it continues to be an incredible motivator for how, as Tigers, we serve the world. How do we bottle this spark, this fire, this spirit, to impart it in generations of Trinity students to come? We used this magazine issue to find out.
The Summer 2017 issue of Trinity magazine is a tribute to the smell of Texas mountain laurels, red brick against the San Antonio skyline, and the feeling of that trek up Cardiac Hill, as we explore the University's first Campus Master Plan since the Skyline Campus was designed in the early 1950s.
In the Winter 2017 edition of Trinity magazine, hear from six women who forged trails as entrepreneurs, shattering the glass ceilings above them along the way. Plus, meet alumni and student entrepreneurs using their determination to make our world a better place.
Trinity students, faculty, staff, and alumni have found unique ways to contribute to America's food culture, from impacting policy and legislation on food in elementary schools, to infusing technology into the winemaking process. Pour yourself a cup of Trinity-blend coffee and curl up with the Winter 2016 issue!

Whoa. I'm in the checkout lane at Tom Thumb reading the May issue of D Magazine so I won't have to buy a copy. Oops, smudged the cover, sorry. Tore a page, sorry. Then I see this story by Tim Rogers: "The Trinity Parkway Is Dead."
There is no way this story can be in the magazine unless D founder Wick Allison has flipped on the toll road. Hunt suggests diplomatically that maybe I haven't kept up closely. She tells me to call him.
I balk. Pre-Trinity River toll road, back in the day, Wick and I used to cross paths at parties, and we hit it off. He's always funny and smart. My wife was editor of one of his more successful magazines for several years. But since then, bad water.
I do make myself call. Damn it. He graciously agrees to meet. Below you will find snippets from a long conversation. He starts off by telling me how one night in 2009 he and Hunt engaged in an insomniac email duel until 4 in the morning.
He says he scrutinized the issue raised by toll road supporters who insisted that the federal money for the road was necessary to pay for the surrounding park project, an argument Hunt rejected but he had always taken as gospel.
When Allison returned to Dallas in 1995 from several years in New York and Washington, he caught up with an old buddy, Robert K. Hoffman, a founder of the National Lampoon at Harvard who had become a Dallas philanthropist. Allison tells me Hoffman was the original source for the concept of the Trinity River project.
Allison: "I returned in '95, and Robert briefed me on all the work he had done. He said one of the key components, the breakthrough, was transportation dollars. With that, we can afford to do it, but it's this billion-dollar project."
But in 2009 when Allison dug into Hunt's evidence, he discovered that the road had nothing to do financially with the park and proposed lakes. Hunt was right. The parks could be paid for without the road. Today Allison still believes Hoffman was sincere.
"In 1998 we [D Magazine] totally supported it. We even did a special edition sent to every registered voter. We did the sailboats and the whole idea. That's where you got the sailboats, from us, maybe."
The 2009 wee-hours email battle with Hunt, however, was what he calls "the beginning of the unraveling." If the central argument in favor of the toll road, the federal dollar argument, was no longer true, what else might be wrong? And, indeed, more shoes were to fall.
He tells me something I have never heard before. Since 2010, he says, the city has been in possession of expert advice telling it not only not to build the toll road but to tear down, depress or somehow link over most of its existing freeways.
Allison: "In 2010 I received from [former City Manager] Mary Suhm a disc that contained a charette [architectural study] about I-30. The construction company that had been hired by TxDOT to widen I-30 had brought in their brightest people from around the country to look at the project. And these guys had gone rogue. They did a charette saying, 'They [Dallas officials] don't need to widen I-30. That's the exact wrong thing to do. They need to take it below grade, put an esplanade on it and reconnect the city.' It was all new urbanism.
"I go, 'Holy shit!' I had never thought about this. I had read [Robert] Caro's book on Robert Moses. [Uptown developer] Robert Shaw told me to read Jane Jacobs [The Death and Life of Great American Cities]. I started looking."
He points to a map of all the major interstate highways that cut through and around downtown Dallas. "Look at the interstates," he says. He points to I-30 and says, "Blight." To I-35E South: "Blight." I-35E North: "Blight" The rest of them: "Blight, blight, blight." Then he points to the Stemmons freeway.
Allison: "As a sophomore at the University of Texas, I stood with John Stemmons in 1968 in Stemmons Towers overlooking Stemmons Expressway, which had opened in 1963. He was so proud of it. He thought this was going to be the greatest real estate development of all time.
"That was 1968. The last office building built on Stemmons was 1971. Stemmons Towers is for lease today and it can't be leased. It has been a disaster. The market will not go where there is an interstate highway."
Allison: "A part-time guy relies on experts. He goes, 'OK, my job is to get it done, my job is to move it through the process. Who do you want me to call?' He's not a thinker about it, a strategist. So that's kind of where we are as a city, and that's been how the Trinity [toll road] has stayed alive. It became a process of implementation and all the problems of implementation that consumed everybody without thinking about basic strategy."
Me: "My problem with that, if you go back to 2007, I understand Hoffman's vision and the interconnectedness of these things. I understand sort of going ahead with the plan in front of you. But there was such intensity in 2007, such an enforced uniformity of a view ..."
