Abstract
Editorial Note: With this paper the editors have deviated from a long-established policy of publishing articles only if they were directly related to the science of gerontology. However, as we read our mandate closely it seems to the editors that our task is to serve the professional as well as the profession; and indeed a case can be made that the latter is best advanced by advocating the former. Since the following article is a guide to professional success in general, it is as applicable to an aspiring gerontologist as to an ambitious scholar in one of the lesser disciplines. Another consideration prompts the publishing of a non-gerontology article. Teaching programs now abound, and we have reason to believe that many neophyte gerontologists read this journal. The editors feel that we would be remiss in our didactic mission were we to instruct them only in the basic principles of the Queen of Sciences and in so doing fail to let them glimpse some of the members of the queen's court at work.
