Order of service for the funeral of Ronald Hyam.

Original series ran from 1909 to 1956 and then a new numbering series started with No. 1 being 1956-1957.

The original series contained mainly articles, poems, and stories from undergraduates. It was printed at the expense of the Amalgamation Club and was circulated only to residents members and a few subscribers.
From 1952-1956 the Magdalene College Record was printed from the Magazine and sent to all members of the College Association.
In 1956 in view of the Appeal for Endowment the Record was sent to every old member.
Future issues would only be sent to members of the College Association and to those who had subscribed to the Appeal.

The old Magazine was discontinued mainly on the grounds of expense. It was hoped that in its new and reduced form it would still contain articles, serious and light, on things which interested Magdalene men. The Editor invited contributions and news from all members of the College. The Period covered by the Record was from 1 September to 31 August.
