| Abstract | Report on Langer's presentation of his research into why German Americans lost their language and "submerged" their cultural identity. Hypothesizing that German lessons in American schools transmitted cultural knowledge as well as teaching language, he examined the Ellis Collection of German Textbooks at the UW-Madison's Memorial Library. |
