100 Years of PSMLA: A glance into the archives

Celebrating 100 years of PSMLA!

Some things haven’t changed much….

The very first PSMLA meeting was called to order Dec. 28, 1920 in Harrisburg. There were two presentations:  

1. “How many years of modern foreign language should be given in the junior high school?” by Miss Marion Armstrong, Pittsburgh
2. “What colleges most desire in modern language” by Mr. W. R. Anson, Philadelphia

These were followed by an important discussion: “The new high school program for Pennsylvania (which dropped modern language as a required subject) came in for general criticism. Thus goes on the battle for the humanities in a world that is turning materialistic.”

(Found in the 50thAnniversary Edition of the 1969 PSMLA Bulletin)

In honor of the 100-year Anniversary of PSMLA, we have a special deal: Join for 3 years for $100.00 until October 26, 2019.
