Excerpt from The Facilities for Graduate Instruction in Modern Languages in the United States Modern Languages in the United States (u. S. Bureau of Education, 1913) and is intended as supplementary to that. Eventually, so the plan is, there shall be a history of graduate instruction in modern languages in the United States, but that is a large undertaking and lies in the future. Owing, however, to the nature of the work, it is thought best to publish this por tion of it here and now. It is pleasant for one long and arduously engaged upon this work to find Professor Raymond Weeks speaking up for the need of such a work as this.1 And indeed, the pleasant thing about the present undertaking is that not only have the men engaged in graduate instruction in modern languages most kindly, often at considerable pains, got together and submitted their bibliographies, but very many of them have in addition written a word of approval and encouragement. Only four of the 250 have had anything adverse to say. We shall not discuss their reasons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
