1976 – James E. Alatis
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me much pleasure, indeed, to welcome you, on behalf of Georgetown University and its School of Languages and Linguistics, to this, the 27th Annual Georgetown University Round Talk…
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank Dr. Clea Rameh for her fine selection of participants and for her organizational skill and professional competence in preparing for this event.
In closing may I say that the School of Languages and Linguistics takes much pride in its 27 years of sponsorship of these meetings, and extends its thanks to all of you who have come to participate and help us celebrate this 27th anniversary of the GU Round Talk.”
1977 – James E. Alatis
“Good evening, ladies and gentleman. On behalf of GU and the School of Languages and Linguistics, I am honored to welcome you to the GU Round Table on Languages and Linguistics 1977.
It’s interesting to note that whereas it has been the usual situation ever since the days of Franz Boas for linguistic courses to be taught in anthropology departments, GU School of Languages and Linguistics bust be one of the few institutions where anthropology courses are taught at the linguistics department. Hopefully, this may become part of a trend which will contribute to bringing the two fields back to the close relationship they have traditionally had in the US.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Muriel Saville-Troike for her highly professional manner in which she has organized the Round Table this year and for the splendid speakers she has brought together on the theme “Linguistics and Anthropology.
Again, may I welcome you to GU, and to our Round Table of Languages and Linguistics 1977. Thank you.”
1977 – Muriel Saville-Troike
“Of course I cannot mention all who deserve recognition here, but I would like to acknowledge a few people who have had central roles in this Round Table. First is Dean James Alatis, whose support … I especially appreciate. Next, I wish to thank my associate chairman M. Owens… she and I were aided by many students, faculty, and staff here at GU, who deserve our sincere thanks for the many hours they have contributed.
Finally, I would like to thank our speakers. We may be grateful to the speakers for giving so generously of their time and expertise to help make this collective speech event an occasion of lasting significance. My thanks to all.
And now, I would like to turn this opening session over to the chairman of the GU Department of ….”
1993 – James Alatis
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is James Alatis, and I am Dean of the School of Languages and Linguistics and chair of the GU Round Table on Languages and Linguistics.
First, the welcome. Welcome to GU, welcome to the Leavey Centre, and most of all, welcome to the opening session of the GU Round Table on Languages and Linguistics. Before I move on, I would like to take a moment to recognize the organizers, speakers and participants…
I congratulate you on your hard work and your wonderful success.
And so, to Helen Karn, with thanks for all you have done and all I know you’ll be doing, please accept this modest token of our gratitude. I must add at this point…”
