Description: Issued from the first ever, 1936, National French Contest, this Bronze Medal signifies a milestone for the AATF and its students, and all associated members. It's approximately 1.5" in diameter and has wear but Overall an outstanding piece of history. History of the Association The AATF was founded in the state of New York in 1927, the last of the major language associations to be founded. Charles A. Downer, the first president of the association, states in the very first issue of theFrench Reviewthat that purpose of the AATF was devoted to the maintenance of the highest standards of culture among the teachers, to the study and application of the best methods of instructions, the pursuit of the best conditions for teaching and the creation of the spirit of solidarity and mutual helpfulness without which these aims cannot be realized (Vol. 1, November 1927, p. 5). This is not so very different from our mission more than 90 years later. The AATF was incorporated in 1936 and, after many years in New York, moved to the University of Illinois under two Executive Directors, Frank Nachtmann and Fred Jenkins, where it was housed for more than 30 years. In 1997, the association moved to Southern Illinois University when Jayne Abrate took over as Executive Director, and in 2015, we moved to our own building in Marion, IL. Under the leadership of many visionary presidents and dedicated Executive Council members, the AATF has continued to publish theFrench Review, created theNational Bulletinin the 1970s, organized an annual convention, launched the National French Contest and theSocit Honoraire de Franais, welcomed many honorary members, began National French Week, and continues to promote publications and projects which support the teaching of French at all levels. The AATF currently has 70 active chapters across the U.S., divided into 9 regions. **information attained from the AATF history website and other internet searches.
