    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.

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.

    [s] NEWSLETTER OF THE AMERICAN DIALECT Izi SOCIETY Volume 3 Number 1 February 1971 M NEWSLETTER OF THE AMERICAN DIALECT [z] SOCIETY Volume 3 Number 1 February 1971 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Election to the presidency of the American Dialect Society is an honor more deeply appreciated when one remembers what great names appear on the list of presidents during its first half century, from the founding until the Second World War. Among them were C. H. Grandgent, George L. Kittredge, Francis J. Child, William Allan Neilson, James W. Bright, and Louise Pound. But it is not enough for your president simply to inherit the scholarly tradi­ tion of concern with the study of varieties of our language. The office is one of honor, true; it also is one of responsibility. This responsibility is for the welfare of the society itself and for the extension of its concerns. I offer some specifics. 1. Two recent developments are of basic importance to us. One is that within the past twenty years several influences have con­ spired to make the English language a primary content subject in the school and college curriculum. Within this subject field more and more elementary, secondary, and college textbooks are devoting attention to the regional variations within American English. The second development is that within the past ten years socio-- economic forces have conspired to thrust into the academic lime­ light vertical or social variations in our speech, those that con­ stitute the characteristics of social rather than of regional dia­ lects. Yet neither of these developments has appreciably affected the growth of the Society, despite the obvious increase in the number of people with at least a passive interest in dialectology.
