While we cannot afford to be smug about the present situation, we do not need to be apologetic either. We are continuing to attempt improvements within the limits of our resources and energy. If this be stagnation, Heaven save us from activity. Henry Hatfield, Chairman, Germanic Languages and Literatures...

The problem then remains--how to keep...
