We were intended just to amuse ourselves and each other. We were not intended to be world beaters. We are in amateur journalism for the fun of it and, the world being what it is, this spirit should be encouraged. Just a lot of dubs who’d like to putter around with pen and ink and type, putting ideas on paper, printing the same, exchanging random thoughts with other dubs and annually getting around to knowing a few of each other. No “mute, inglorious Miltons,” no embryo Shakespeares, no big shots. They did not expect any great shakes in the membership, then or ever. They had no grand illusions about themselves or their posterity.
They baptised us the Amateur Press, and thus let out all the seams, giving us plenty of room to grow and stretch in. Nor did they call it the National Amateur Writers Guild, limiting us to scribbling of one kind or another, and relegating to limbo all our readers, lusty printers, crafty politicians and social butterflies. That would have condemned us to the production of books and written compositions of the kind valued for form and style, which is the classic definition of literature according to Oxford, and very well might have sunk us without a trace during the first decade of our existance. You will note that they did not call it the National Amateur Literary Society.
