Excerpt from book: THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS Delivered On Tuesday, December 28, 1920, At Chicago, Illinois, At The Twenty-fifth Annual Meeting Of The Central Division Of The Modern Language Association Of America By Bert J. Vos BEATING THE BOUNDS As indicated on the title-page of our program, the Central Division is today celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. Such an occasion, it was thought, should not be allowed to pass without notice. In default of personal recollections on the part of the speaker, who was not at that time domiciled in the West, some historical data set down, upon request, by the first secretary of fihe Division, Professor 'Charles Bundy Wilson, may serve the double purpose of making the remembrance of tihe occasion a matter of record and of bringing 'before us, for a parting tribute, the names of one or two former colleagues who have "'by fate been cheated out of these fair hours" of friendship and companionship. Professor Wilson's Note reads as follows: The initiative in a movement to establish a branch modern language association was taken in February, 1895, by W. H. Carruth of the University of Kansas, Laurence Fossler of the University of Nebraska, and Charles Bundy Wilson of the State University of Iowa (see Publications for 1896, Vol. rv, new series, p. Iviii.) A committee on organization was selected as follows: G. Hempl, C. B.Wilson, W. M. Baskervill, L. Fossler, G. E. Karsten, H. Schmidt-Wartenberg. A preliminary meeting was held in Chicago in June, 1895, which was attended by C. B. Wilson, W. H. Carruth, G. E. Karsten, L. Fossler, F. A. Blackburn, J. T. Hatfield, C. W. Pearson, and H. Sdhmidt-Wartenberg. W. H. Carruth was chosen chairman and H. Schmidt-Wartemberg was chosen secretary (see Publications, Vol. rv, new series, pp. lix-lxii). Cen...<
