+{\noindent\LARGE\sc Letter from the Editor}
+\vspace{\credgap}

+\vspace{\ackgap}\noindent
+Dear Reader,
+
+\vspace{\credgap}\noindent
+It is with pleasure that I present the 25\textsuperscript{th} edition
+of \emph{Aporia}, the undergraduate philosophy journal of St Andrews.
+I hope it shall prove a stimulating and enjoyable read.
+
+My particular thanks, firstly, to Joe Bradstreet, my deputy, who has
+been a well-informed and clever editor, a diligent administrator, and
+a pleasant balance to all my neuroticisms. My thanks also to Christina
+Llandys Herre, who bravely shouldered much of the administrative
+burden.  And I cannot fail to mention Mohit Argawal, whose technical
+prowess and willingness to take on tasks far beyond my capabilities
+have been utterly invaluable. I am extremely grateful to the whole
+editorial team for their dedication, expertise, and good humour; I
+should have been quite at sea with many of the papers were it not for
+their excellent work.
+
+I am often teasingly asked about our readership; I think I may honestly
+answer that the people who truly gain the most from \emph{Aporia} are
+the editors and writers. From my editorship I have been exposed to areas
+of philosophy untouched by my courses, learned more about the rights
+(and perhaps more frequently wrongs) of academic writing than any
+lecturer has taught me, and acquired the skill of working with a
+relatively large and diverse team. For all the vexations of the
+position, I am pleased to have had the opportunity of dipping my toe
+into the murky waters of academic research and publishing.
+
+It is a real triumph that \emph{Aporia} has survived 18 years of
+disorganized philosophy students, incomprehensible technological
+advancements, interrupted teaching, and unreliable funding. Let us hope
+it shall long continue for the next generations of budding philosophers.
+
+\vspace{\credgap}\noindent
+Yours faithfully,
+
+\vspace{\ackgap}\noindent
+Kirsty Graham
