Abstract
In this paper, a brief account of the origin and evolution of the Southern Regional Council on Statistics/American Statistical Association (SRCOS/ASA) Summer Research Conference (SRC) is outlined. The 40th SRC was held in Blacksburg, Virginia, on 6–9 June 2004. The conference was originally the brainchild of the Southern Regional Education Board's Committee on Statistics (SREB-COS), created to fulfill a unique need for a small gathering of statisticians and other scientists in the Southern region of the United States, at which research topics in statistics and statistical training could be addressed in a relaxed and unhurried way amid pleasant surroundings. Young statisticians were included along with well-known senior researchers to be able to interact, get to know each other, and enhance their research and training efforts. A brief history of the SREB-COS and its successor, the SRCOS, is also presented to convey its role in the development of the discipline in the region.
