Extract

If I undertake to describe the language program of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Princeton (as distinguished from work in non-European languages done there under other auspices) it is not in the belief that it embodies anything revolutionary or radically different in organization from that of any similar institution. If there is any virtue in such a description it lies rather in our having been able, with only a moderate degree of additional expense and dislocation, to adapt the traditional pattern to meet a reasonable modern standard.
