We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: Software for conversion of MP3 file
Does any software exist that could take an MP3 file of English as
input and directly convert it to some sort of transcript? Thanks in
advance.

The July-August issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette, an in-house organ
of the U. of Pennsylvania, has an article (pg. 24) about the legacy of
Zellig Harris. In it, the author states that Zellig Harris founded
and chaired "the nation's first linguistics department at Penn in
1947."
Is this claim true? Were there no other linguistics departments in
existence in any other American university at that time?
