+\vspace{\ackgap}\noindent
+Congratulations to all those involved with \emph{Aporia} for reaching
+the milestone of a twenty-fifth volume! I was a first-year undergraduate
+when the first issue was released. I look back at that day fondly. We
+celebrated with a wine reception in Edgecliffe (though, to be entirely
+honest, we didn't need much of an occasion to indulge in some wine!),
+and there were speeches from Vera Schoeller (the society president) and
+Professor Sarah Broadie, who was always a vocal supporter of PhilSoc.
+
+The journal has also published some fantastic work over the years,
+including by authors who have gone on to be very successful professional
+philosophers. The very first issue included pieces by Marcus Rossberg
+and Philip Ebert (now professors at Connecticut and Stirling,
+respectively) and a special contribution from Duncan Pritchard (now UC
+Irvine). Later issues included Andreas Stokke (Uppsala), Fenner Tanswell
+(Technical University Berlin), Steffen Koch (Bielefeld) and Michael
+Hicks who is currently my colleague at the University of Glasgow. I was
+a co-editor (with Kyle Mitchell) for volumes II and III. I was also
+tasked with designing and formatting (which, unfortunately, was not my
+forte). Since my time at the helm, I am pleased see that the high
+quality of philosophy has continued, and the design quality has
+significantly improved. The journal is now an extremely
+professional-looking production, and something for all involved to be
+proud of.
+
+The St Andrews Philosophy Society will always hold a very dear place in
+my heart. It was there that I got to know many people who are my friends
+until this day. It is wonderful that the society is still going strong,
+and that the journal continues to be a roaring success.
