Cracow Congress of Slavists

[ROBERT A ROTHSTEIN]

        I have been informed by Professor Michael Flier, who chairs
the American Committee of Slavists, that the Twelfth International
Congress of Slavists will take place in Cracow August 26--September 3,
1998.
        Because of a long-standing rule (established by the International
Committee of Slavists) that all papers be published in advance and
distributed to the various national committees, the selection of
participants had to be made long before the Congress.  For the 1998
Congress abstracts for proposed papers were due in January, 1996.
Abstracts were solicited through announcements sent to Slavic departments
and to the AATSEEL and AAASS newsletters in 1995.
