BIG EVENT: 20th Anniversary of Linguistics at Purdue and Symposium to Honor Victor Raskin for his Directorship

[Ronnie Wilbur]

Dear Colleagues,

We are celebrating 20 years of the Linguistics Program at Purdue University and
the leadership that Victor Raskin provided to our program.  I hope you will
join
us in paying tribute to Victor in appreciation of the effort, energy, and
personal resources he expended to start the Program, help it grow, and finally
to obtain our authorization from the State of Indiana to grant degrees in
Linguistics at the graduate level (MA, Ph.D.). In addition to Thomas Sebeok of
Indiana University, we have invited Victor's former students to present papers
in his honor.

I hope you will be able to join us.

Ronnie
