Abstract
The subject of growth of groups has been active in the former Soviet Union since the early 50's and in the West since 1968, when articles of \v{S}varc and Milnor have been published, independently. The purpose of this note is to quote a few articles showing that, before 1968 and at least retrospectively, growth has already played some role in various subjects.
