INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT 
This study was undertaken at the suggestion of the Ad- 
visory Committee of the American Classical League as a 
part of the Classical Investigation. It was begun under the 
joint auspices of the Department of Latin and the School 
of Education of Indiana University. The School of Educa- 
tion thru its Bureau of Cooperative Research supplied the 
stenographic work involved in forming the English list. 
Professor S. E. Stout of the Latin Department made many 
suggestions, as did also Professor Lillian G. Berry of the 
same department. The helpfulness of these suggestions is 
here gratefully acknowledged. All responsibility for any 
shortcomings in the work, however, is reserved by the under- 
signed for himself alone. Miss Belle Coulter, A.M., Latin, 
Indiana University, 1922, prepared the half of the English 
list that contains the words of less frequency. She also 
counted the words to be attributed to each source language 
for this half of the English list. The results of her count are 
recorded in Table 4 of the statistics. All other work on 
this study was done and responsibility therefor is assumed 
,by the undersigned.
