| The first and highest credit is due to the founder and beginner of the Bulletin, John H. McFadden, Jr., who on July 4, 1917 commenced it with a hundred copies printed on the mimeographe and the sub-editor so little appreciated the greatness of the idea that it was with deep though unuttered protests that the cliché was made on the typewriter. The idea of a periodical that would give and exchange news between sections was so popular from the start that when, with the tenth number, Mr. McFadden was obliged to go away for his health, the publication continued regularly until March 22, 1919.
