It was never an apprentice— A new magazine will usually go through a long apprenticeship, a period of trial and error as it gradually works its way up toward the top ranks in its field.
From its very first issue in 1950, Galaxy Science Fiction was in the top rank, fully the equal of John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction, hitherto the undisputed leader in the science fiction field.
Galaxy had both its light years and its dark years, and if the dark finally took it away from us, we still have the memory of the light.

 Multiple Galaxy Collisions Surprise Hubble Astronomers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Hubble astronomers conducting research on a class of galaxies called ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRG) have discovered that over two dozen of these are found within "nests" of galaxies, apparently engaged in multiple collisions that lead to fiery pile-ups of three, four or even five galaxies smashing together.
For conclusive proof that more than two galaxies are interacting, he plans to do follow-up spectroscopic observations to measure the collision speeds of the wayward galaxies.
The brilliant infrared (IR) glow of these galaxies is caused by a firestorm of star birth triggered by the collisions.

 Mark Twain's Introductory in The Galaxy
In taking upon myself the burden of editing a department in THE GALAXY magazine, I have been actuated by a conviction that I was needed, almost imperatively, in this particular field of literature.
I have long felt that while the magazine literature of the day had much to recommend it, it yet lacked stability, solidity, weight.
In the other departments of the magazine will be found poetry, tales, and other frothy trifles, and to these the reader can turn for relaxation from time to time, and thus guard against overstraining the powers of his mind.

It's simply true that whatever is mentioned he remembers, or can look up in his diary.
For instance in one case, he's looking through his telescope, as he does nightly, and sees a sign hanging off a galaxy 100,000,000 light years away, "I saw you." He hastens to check his diary and finds out he had been doing something he'd wanted to hide and hoped was forgotten on exactly that day, two hundred million years ago.
Throughout the chapter, he worries about what people on galaxies all over the universe think of him, and keeps scanning for signs, and speculating what each sign means about others' judgements of himself, and wondering how to respond.
