Events such as the Bicentennial of the United States (1976), the Tricentennial of the first German settlement at Germantown (1983), and the hundredth anniversary of the Modem Language Association of America (1983) have stimulated interest in the past and in its evaluation. Moreover, a number of research projects, professional organizations, and individual language periodicals have encouraged further research into the origins and development of the profession. Much discussion has been devoted to assessing the aims, structures, and functions of the German-teaching profession in the United States and to finding a method of collecting and interpreting data "so as to better understand the ups and downs of Germanistik during the past 150 years or so."1 Although publications on various aspects of the history of the profession have increased in number, left largely untouched is the role of women in the development of German studies in the United States. This dissertation attempts to provide the first comprehensive analysis of the roles and contributions of women in the profession of Germanics in the United States between 1850 and 1950. "Role" refers to a woman’s position and status as teacher and scholar in higher education, more specifically as faculty members in four-year colleges and universities. "Contribution" denotes the professional endeavors of and service rendered by a woman while serving on the faculty of any four-year higher educational institution in this country, i.e. the introduction or improvement of pedagogical methods and curricular innovations, articles and books written and published, and responsibilities within professional service organizations and on college campuses. Throughout this study I use the term "Germanist" to mean the individual who devotes most of his/her working career to the study and teaching of German language, literature, and/or culture and the term "Germanics" to refer collectively to that study and teaching, that is, to the discipline itself. This dissertation demonstrates that women have traditionally been subordinate members of the profession and that their activities have been undervalued or ignored by male professionals in American Germanics. Specifically, I examine women’s involvement in Germanics in three areas—publishing, teaching, and professional service—using the careers of four women

    NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1924 TO 1950 MARTIN JOOS for JENNIE MAE JOOS FORE\\ORO It is important for the reader of this document to know how it came to be written and what function it is intended to serve. In the early 1970s, when the Executive Committee and the Committee on Pub1ications of the linguistic Society of America v.ere planning for the observance of its Golden Anniversary, they decided to sponsor the preparation of a history of the Society's first fifty years, to be published as part of the celebration. The task was entrusted to the three living Secretaries, J M. Cowan{who had served from 1940 to 1950), Archibald A. Hill {1951-1969), and Thomas A. Sebeok {1970-1973). Each was asked to survey the period of his tenure; in addition, Cowan,who had learned the craft of the office from the Society's first Secretary, Roland G. Kent {deceased 1952),was to cover Kent's period of service. At the time, CO'flal'\was just embarking on a new career. He therefore asked his close friend Martin Joos to take on his share of the task, and to that end gave Joos all his files. Joos then did the bulk of the research and writing, but the~ conferred repeatedly, Cowansupplying information to which Joos v.t>uldnot otherwise have had access. Joos and HiU completed their assignments in time for the planned publication, but Sebeok, burdened with other responsibilities, was unable to do so. Since the Society did not wish to bring out an incomplete history, the project was suspended.

The first modern painting to enter the museum’s collection—in 1941—it depicts the artist at the height of his fame in the late 1920s.1 When it debuted in Berlin at the Secession exhibition in 1928 it was immediately recognized as a major work, one marking a new stylistic development in the artist’s use of large planes of colour, especially black. While the Beckmann portrait may have been the first modern painting in the museum, the first painting to enter the collection—in 1909 and also a portrait—was another one entirely: it was a recent likeness of German Emperor Wilhelm II by the academic painter Arthur Kampf Figure 2 .

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that thefilm inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    'f1n Indigenous and Not an Exotic Plant" 147 "An Indigenous and Not an Exotic Plant": then had the function more of a Leuchtturm than as an Elfenbeinturm.1 A full and Toward a History of Germanics at Penn accurate view of the "shaping forces" of Germanics from an institutional perspec­ tive can be achieved only by examining the discipline's development at several key JOHN A. MCCARTHY universities and colleges (e.g., Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hop­ kins. Illinois. Indiana, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Yale). Documentation in support of the argument presented here could not be included because of length restrictions. The history of Germanics at the University of Pennsylvania is long, central, instructive, and as yet virtually unexplored. As host to one of the oldest German programs in the nation, Penn represents fertile ground for plotting the historical contours, past challenges, and future prospects for our profession. Tracing the ebb It is commonly argued that Germanics in America was an essentially uncritical and flow of the department's appeal, student enrollment, curricular offerings, Ger­ recipient of the German model of the profession well into the second half of the man Studies component, outreach efforts, publishing strategies, and placement of twentieth century (Koepke 1989: 46-50). Unfortunately, the actual heterogeneity its graduate students can afford greater insight into the continuities and discontinu­ of the emerging profession in Germany and its equally heterogenous reception in ities in the history of Germanics in the United States. Last but not least, it can also America is too little reflected in renditions of the discipline.

Hood Roberts, secretary-treasurer and then executive secretary of the ADS since 1968 (see centerfold), has announced his resignation effective as soon as a replacement can be found. He is leaving the Center for Applied Linguistics and going into the printing and phototypesetting business. To find Hood's successor, ADS president Rex Wilson last month appointed an ad hoc search committee: Fred Cassidy, Mary Key, Willis Russell and chairman Audrey Duekert. The committee will welcome suggestions, but they must be made soon; "the need to fill the position is urgent," said Wilson. Nominations should go to Duekert at her home address: 1 Maplewood Terrace, Hadley, Mass., 01035. The committee's recommendation will go to the Executive Council, which will make the new appointment. According to the ADS constitution (last printed in NADS J+.i-i'i, 1 9 7 2 ) the term and conditions of the appointment are quite flexible: "The Executive Council shall appoint an Executive Secretary under such arrange­ ments as the situation may require," says Art.

Dissertation Adviser: Peter Gordon Andrew Jeffrey Spadafora Freedom from Value Judgments: Value-Free Social Science and Objectivity in Germany, 1880-1914 Abstract This dissertation addresses a central issue in the methodological debates that raged in the German academy around the turn of the twentieth century. The idea of “value-free” social science, or “value-freedom,” was passed down to subsequent decades as a way of thinking about the objectivity of knowledge, but because of its name it has been widely misunderstood. Moreover, it has been seen either as a clever invention of the polymath scholar Max Weber, or as some form of ideology masquerading as neutrality (or both).
