  The statement of policy presented in Journal of Symbolic Logic (1936, Volume 1, No. 1) lists bringing together the mathematicians and philosophers working in logic among the goals of the new journal. Probably at this time both the mathematicians and the philosophers shared a sense that their subject was considered to be somewhat marginal by their colleagues, and may have felt a primary loyalty to logic as a subject rather than to any academic discipline.  Articles in the first volume of the JSL were divided about equally between professional mathematicians and philosophers, and the early volumes of the JSL do not show any strong differences between the two groups as to topic.
