Kelsie B. Harder Memorial Fund
The Kelsie B. Harder Memorial Fund was named for an outstanding teacher, scholar, and leader who, for many years, was the backbone of the American Name Society. Professor Harder was a renowned scholar of onomastics who served the ANS in many capacities including President of the Society (1982) and Editor of the Journal (1966–1968; 1984–1987). He died in April of 2007. Contributions to the fund are used to support our educational programs. It is used primarily in support of students and upcoming scholars of onomastics. More information about Kelsie B. Harder is available at the following link: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelsie_B._Harder>.

Requirements for submissions to NAMES
NAMES is dedicated to publishing a broad diversity of previously unpublished scholarly articles and book reviews in the field of onomastics. Authors from every corner of the world are therefore warmly encouraged to submit their work. Please be aware, however, that NAMES requires all submissions to adhere to US American English grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style. All manuscripts must be scrupulously edited before submission to ensure the highest standard of academic writing. Work with numerous factual, typographical, and/or grammatical errors will not be accepted for peer review. Before submission, it is therefore strongly recommended that all manuscripts be carefully edited for style, content, and grammar by an experienced proofreader who is a native-speaker of US American English. Any contractual arrangement, which the author(s) may enter into will, however, be exclusively the sole financial responsibility of the author(s). Please be aware that the use of professional proofreading services will in no way guarantee the acceptance of a submission by the review committee and Journal editorial staff. However, the failure to appropriately edit a submission will automatically be considered sufficient grounds for immediate, unqualified rejection.
