==History==
[[Pitman Shorthand]] was introduced in 1837 with the release of the inventor's book, ''Stenographic Sound Hand''. It reached [[Madras]] in 1886 when a commercial school run by the [[Pachaiyappa Charities]] began teaching the language. The Stenographers' Guild was formed fifty years later under the initiative of [[N. Subramania Iyer]], a reporter at the [[Chennai Corporation|Corporation of Madras]], and S. Sivaramakrishna Iyer and P. Ramanuja Iyer, shorthand writers of the [[Madras High Court|High Court of Madras]], who convened a meeting in [[Panagal Park]] attended by about 40 shorthand writers from the Courts, Police, Government and newspapers. The Guild was inaugurated by [[C. Rajagopalachari]], at the time [[List of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu|Chief Minister of Madras]], on September 26, 1937. It was to be two more years before the Guild was to be registered as a society. Its aim was to train shorthand writers.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040323060133/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2003/11/03/stories/2003110300190300.htm The Hindu - A peek at `phonography']</ref>
