Abstract: Abstract First of all we try to trace the situation and the ideas that culminated in the first COMPSTAT symposium in the year 1974 held at the University of Vienna, Austria. Special emphasis is given to the memories of our founding member P. P. Sint who had been the driving force behind early COMPSTAT and had served it for twenty years.
