Subject:Needs Sources on American Figures and Programs

A European scholar has done a piece on the major figures and programs  
in Arabic Language Studies (linguistics, philology, etc.) in Europe  
in the 20th Century, and would like to do a companion piece on the  
same in the US and Canada.  He has asked me to ask you if there are  
any written sources on this topic, any review articles that deal with  
the major programs or major figures of the field.  I will forward all  
responses on to him, and post them as well.  I don't think I want to  
post any nominations from the field for such status (the 20th century  
seems too close for that), but if any of you want to do more than  
make a single nomination, i.e. come up with a proposed list of major  
figures and programs, particularly for the first 50 years of the  
century, I would be happy to post that.
