Sntrobucmg tfje Jftrgt $tcfeout Cbttor As you may have gleaned from other sources, this is the 20th anniversary of the Pick ' out. In those twenty years the book has grown from the status of a rather shaky activity to the well-founded and substantial institution that it now is. This result is due more than anything else to the courage and initiative of the first few Editors and Managers, With this in mind we wrote the first Editor of the book, Mr. H. A. Currier, for just an idea about the founding of the Pickout, and he was kind enough to send the following letter telling about it. Accordingly, we submit it to you, hoping that it may be of interest not only to the students of today, but also to any of the alumni reading these pages. ftfje JBirtj of tfje $ufeout Your Board has honored me by requesting a few remarks to be published in the 1925 Pickout and as its first editor, I can think of no words more fitting to the occasion than a concise review of the Birth of the Pickout.

That afternoon the meeting was called and the idea met with enthu- siasm. We proceeded to elect a staff and as the writer had sponsored the idea, he was naturally made the goat and elected editor. A name must be chosen, so after the usual suggestions The Pickout was selected as being both appropriate and symbolic. After the meeting adjourned, it was with some mis- givings that we faced the task confronting those of us who had been responsible for starting it, but with the enthusiastic support we had met with, we went to our task. We were very fortunate in having as our business manager Guy Newcomb, a live wire, and at our first meeting he showed us how important it was to have 24
