William Riley Parker

Is quickly becoming my new hero. He was the Executive Director of the Modern Language Association from... eeeh... well, that seems to be a bit hard to track down. What I can say right now is that it was in the '50s.

What's nuts is that there's so little real information on this guy - no Wikipedia page, nothing on the MLA site except for a prize named in his honor. Maybe this is like a mini-project that I can work on in the meantime. I'm sure my dissertation participant will have some salient information.
