At a joint meeting of the American Astronomical Society and the American Physical Society held in June of 1940, the University of Michigan astronomer Dean McLaughlin (1940) gave a review of the current understanding of stellar evolution. At the end he somewhat facetiously remarked that, “For several years I have told students that I knew all about stellar evolution in 1923, less is 1925, and nothing at all since 1930.” I would like to suggest that those dates were not chosen randomly, and in the first part of my own survey of stellar evolution to 1950, I would like to explain the significance of those dates.
