4 First Quotations from Arthur L. Widner, Jr.

de Campian adj. 1941 A. Widner Letter in Fantasia (#3) July 23 Man the Space-Rockets: 80. De Campian logic—interesting if true...
femmefan n. 1940 A. L. Widner Jr. Letter in Voice of Imagi-Nation (#6) Apr. 4 Ray Marlin sounds like a sudonim 2 me, & wuts more, a coverup 4 a femfan. Quote: ‘boo-hoo, none of th othr mags hav such nice letr depts.’ Yep, eithr a femfan or a very yungster. Th fact that Ray cant take mor than 1 promag a month, bolstrs my opinion.
Gernsbackian adj. 1943 A. Widner Myffsaw in Chanticleer (#1) 8 I say ‘grudgingly’ becoz I have such admiration for Schneeman—& his work. He has done mediocre, & even poor work, but at his best he really deserves that favorite Gernsbackian adjective, ‘inimitable’.
semiprozine n. 1946 A. Widner The Blatant Beast in Fantasy Advertiser Nov. 39 Alas, this is the last issue of this sterling publication, but the editor hints of even better things to come if present plans mature. It seems that ACOLYTE may become the semi-prozine suggested by Inman. Evidently this is why the price has been raised to two bits.
