Summary The paper presents an overview of the evolution of open tubular (capillary) columns introduced 25 years ago by M.J.E. Golay. This evolution is divided into five stages: the formulation of the theory and the basic work laying down the foundations for future work; learning the influence of the variables on column performance; development of columns with increased surface area; development of glass and fused-silica columns; and, finally, the introduction of open tubular columns in liquid chromatography. In each stage, the pioneering activities are summarized and the most important references given.
