Abstract
AN early publication of the Department of Statistics, University College, was Tippett's series of random sampling numbers (1927), regarded by many at first as a most eccentric sort of publication. With the introduction of randomization as an experimental precaution, this table was soon found to save a great deal of time, and many laboratories provided themselves, for their own use, with additional random series. The recent “Tract for Computers” contains a hundred thousand new numbers.
