Perhaps more than in any other decade, the three yearbooks published in the 1970s reflected the times in which the students were living. Books were published in 1970, 1971, and 1972, after which production ceased until 1982. During the years 1974-1975 and 1978-1979, the UC Alumni Association did produce an annual with some candid photos and photos and bios of all seniors, but this publication was on a much smaller scale than the Cincinnatian. In addition Clifton Magazine was seen to replace the Cincinnatian. Each Cincinnatian during the ' 70s consists of two books. For 1970 and 1972, there was a traditional yearbook with senior portraits and group photographs, and a book devoted to social and political issues that for the most part are communicated using photographs alone. The 1971 book has an unusual binding with both books bound flat to one backboard and their spines facing in opposite directions. The pages of both books are turned in unison to create a four page spread.

psychology today february, 1970 (President Warren Bennis)
i cannot exaggerate the value of student protest…it has helped us to make changes that otherwise simply would not have been accepted…student pressure for participation in relevant education gave us opportunities that you get only once in a lifetime.
What we now require are smaller units, with a sharply focused distinctive competence: a rockefeller university for advanced research in the sciences, an Antioch college for social relevance, a university of wisconsin at green bay with a curriculum based on environmental sciences, a degree-granting Woodstock festival for those searching for a communal psychedelic nest, and so on. I feel we need desperately, not department stores but boutiques.
