Excerpt from Modern Language Teaching, Vol. 6Ten years ago the Modern Language Association held its Annual Meeting at Cambridge. The membership then amounted to little over 350 , now there are close upon 900 members, and this is a matter for genuine satisfaction. If the attendance was not proportionately larger than in 1900, it is due to the congestion of educational meetings in the first week of January, rendered more acute by the shortness of the Christmas vacation which is necessitated by the early date of Easter.The fact that the usual rule of meeting in London in alternate years was not observed was due to the desire to celebrate at Cambridge the twenty-fifth anniversary of the institution of the Honours School in Medieval and Modem Languages, and to honour the teachers who have been associated with it, par-ticularly Professor Skeat, Dr. Breul, and Dr. Braunholtz. The University and the Association alike strove to make the occasion a memorable one, and all who were privileged to take part in the Meeting have carried away most pleasant and lasting memories.The Meeting began, as has been usual in recent years, with a reception. We enjoyed the gracious hospitality of our President, the Master of Gonville and Caius College, and of Mrs. Roberts in the fine hall of the college, and many residents were present to join in welcoming the members of the Association. It was fitting that this college should be the first to open its doors to us , for it has from the outset shown special interest in languages, and was indeed the first to offer Entrance Scholarships in Modem Languages, as early as 1887.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
