The paper traces the relationship between Klub moderních filologů („Modern Language Society“) and Časopis pro moderní filologii („Journal of Modern Philology“) in the early decades of their history. Analyzing the output in the first 25 years of the Journal, the paper demonstrates that the Journal was the raison d´être for the Society´s existence.
Texts published in the Journal thus bear witness to the manifold activity of the Society in Slavic, Germanic, Romance and English philology.
