Page:The Whitney Memorial Meeting.djvu/18

4 services of Professor Whitney, and since many of its contributions to philological learning were in no small measure the fruit of his activity, it has seemed proper to include in this volume not only a complete report of the exercises of the Memorial Meeting, but also at least the programs of the various sessions, both joint and special, of the different societies, as they were finally carried out: these programs are accordingly given in Appendix II., pages 107-119. For the detailed reports of the proceedings of these meetings, the official publications of the several societies may be consulted. The list of Professor Whitney's writings (Appendix III.) is of scientific value, as well as of historical interest. Finally, to those who care for the history of philology in America, and who were friends of Mr. Whitney, the brief bibliographical notes concerning his life (Appendix IV.) and his family (Appendix V.) can hardly fail to be acceptable.
