Half a century of relative monitoring. The 1959 which-hunt in Scientific American

• Starting in 1959, the editors of Scientific American regulate the use of relative pronouns. "Which" is no longer used as a subject or an object in restrictive relative clauses. The only function of "which" in such clauses is that of preposition complement, always placed after the preposition.
