EDITOR'S NOTE
Back in 1936 The Purdue Pharmacist had
many more students on the staff than we
do today. Then it was a stick covered copy,
ran about 25 pages or so per issue, and had
a staff that was very impressive. The
Editorial Staff consisted of: Editor-in-
Chief; Associate Editor; Copy Editor;
Head Photographer; and twelve writers.
The Circulation Department consisted of:
Circulation Manager; Associate Circulation Manager; and a staff of five. There
was also a need for an Advertising Manager, an Associate Advertising Manager,
and a staff of six helpers, since advertising was solicited. Finally, there was the
Business Manager and an Associate Busi-
«i   Manager  to  keep   the  accounts
ight.
Today, due to financial problems, we have
an Editor, and a few writers (the number
depending on the space available for stories and articles), but we are still trying to
keep the old tradition of "total continuity
since 1924" alive. We hope we are providing the kind of information you wish. I
would very much like to hear from you
about our work.
What prompted this was a nice letter I
received quite recently from MARVIN
SCHROEDER (Class of 1936) who was
the Business Manager at that time — hence
my choice of year to use as an example.
Marvin still looks forward to news from
the School through The Purdue Pharmacist. Thank you for writing, Marvin.
That gave me an idea. I would like very
much to have as many people as possible
write to me about the position or positions
they held in the making of this great magazine over the years, and what year or years
you held the position. I would appreciate
too any special tidbits of information that
you thought were important or interesting
during your time as a participant. Maybe
we could have an issue (or at least part of
an issue) on "Past Purdue Pharmacist Staff
and their experiences."
Write to me, Sherri Stevens, Editor, The
Purdue Pharmacist, School of Pharmacy
and Pharmacal Sciences, Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana 47907. As
your new editor I would appreciate it very
much.
