This month marks the 100th anniversary of the appearance of William Sealey Gusset's celebrated article, The Probable Error of a Mean (Student 1908a). Gosset's elegant result represented the first in a series of exact, small-sample results that were developed by Gusset, Fisher, and others to form a central component of the modern theory of statistical inference. This review celebrates the centenary of Gosset's article by discussing both its background and its impact on statistical theory and practice.
