Excerpt from The American Journal of Anatomy, Vol. 29: May, 1921 November, 1921 With the present volume The American Journal of Anatomy enters a new phase of its history. A transfer of actual ownership occurred some months ago, but only now have the results of this change actually expressed themselves. The first most noticeable effect is a partial transformation in the personnel of the Board of Editors of The Journal, and a word of explanation and statement of intentions seem proper. The Journal was originally founded by a small group of Anatomists who up to the past year retained ownership and the responsibility for its editorial management. These trustees, along with other members of their Editorial Board, a number of years ago delegated the business arrangements and the publication of The Journal to a central office established by The Wistar Institute of Anatomy. The advantages of this arrangement, both in facilities for publication and distribution of The Journal, have been manifold. The trustees realizing these advantages finally deemed it proper to actually transfer their ownership of The Journal to the Wistar Institute of Anatomy, with the understanding that the editorial management and scientific policy would be arranged for between The Wistar Institute and the American Association of Anatomists. An agreement has been reached between The Wistar Institute and the Association of Anatomists whereby a Journal Committee of the Anatomists has been established, and a proper cooperation of the Institute and the Association in the future affairs of The American Journal of Anatomy is assured. In the scientific policy and purposes of The Journal no change has occurred. The aims and ambitions of the present editors are none other than those of their predecessors.
