Note About Red Jackets: (see June 15) When an MIT alumnus reaches their 50th Reunion, they automatically become a member of the Cardinal and Gray Society. You also are allowed to buy a special red (cardinal) blazer, which is usually premiered at graduation, when the 50th reunion class marches in the Commencement precession. Now that more women have been out 40-50 years, we will have to see if they want the red jackets, or if we look to a different option for them. I am guessing they will get some sort of red blazer too, as it is a sign of school pride.
