Extract

On the afternoon of December 27, just fifty years ago, forty gentlemen assembled at Columbia College, New York City, for the purpose of discussing subjects pertaining to modern language study. Thirty-five of them were from New England and the Middle Atlantic States, two from the South (Virginia and Tennessee), two from Michigan, and one came across the Mississippi—from the city of St. Louis.
