Preface Madison Scott Beeler received his Ph.D. in Comparative Philology in 1936 from Harvard University. After two years of postdoctoral study in Europe and three years of teaching at Harvard, he came to the Department of German at the University of California, Berkeley in 1941. In the late 1950's he accepted a split appointment in German and Linguistics and in 1966 he transferred full-time to the Linguistics Department. During his thirty-six year tenure at Berkeley, he was a member of the original Linguistics Group (precursor of the Linguistics Department), served as chairman of three departments (German, Linguistics, and Near Eastern Languages), and participated in the activities of many Academic Senate committees. The grouping of contributions in this volume into American Indian studies, with emphasis on Californian languages, and into Indoeuropean studies, including Germanic linguistics, highlights the areal scope of Professor Beeler's scholarly involvement, and his comprehensive interest in languages. Moreover, many of the paper topics reflect the fact that among the contributors are a number of persons, representing several generations of linguists, who, as Beeler's colleagues and students, have benefited from his experience as philologist, comparativist, field linguist, and descriptivist. A hallmark of Beeler's linguistic writings has been an abiding respect for and an insightful use of data. His treatments of Venetic and Barbareno Chumash, for example, can be profitably used by linguists of any generation and theoretical persuasion. The diversity of theoretical orientations presented in this volume confirm his recognition that theories change faster than languages, and that without solid support of data theory remains hypothesis. No written tribute can adequately attest to the quality of the experience we, the editors, were privileged to share on being introduced to the methods of historical linguistics or to the structure of a language by a master teacher such as Madison Beeler. Nor can it describe the lasting friendship with which he has rewarded us. This volume, therefore, must remain an incomplete VI Preface though heartfelt expression of our indebtedness and affection. In making special or additional tributes of their own, many persons have contributed in various ways to the preparation of this volume: Deby Beeler, who enthusiastically supported the project and helped plan the official presentation of the advance table of contents; Eileen Odegaard, who smoothed a number of administrative details; Hariklia Statha-Halikas, Alan Timberlake, Gary Holland, and William Shipley, who lightened the editorial burden.
