Jacob A. Arlow was for many years a devoted and much valued member of the Psychoanalytic Quarterly family. Editor of the Quarterly from 1971-1979, he remained active with the journal until his death on May 21, 2004, at the age of ninety-one. In tribute to and remembrance of him, we have assembled a series of brief reflections on his life from six of us who worked closely with him. It seems fitting to publish them in this, the first regular issue of the Quarterly's 75^th continuous year of publication.
