We want to report the success of the LARC Workshop on the Acquisition of Quantification, which took place October 4 and 5 in the Math Lounge 1634 at UMass Amherst and was attended by roughly 70 students and more senior experts from Canada, the UK, Hungary, The Netherlands, France, Italy, and Germany, plus New England, New York, New Jersey, and Michigan. Tom Roeper set the tone with his opening comments: "Why are there no methods, only theories: Experimental style and the historical path from syntax to discourse in the acquisition of quantification." Invited talks by Julien Musolino (Rutgers), Bill Philip (Utrecht), and Martin Hackl (MIT) stimulated lots of discussion that spilled over into the breaks and shared meals. Congratulations to organizers Jeremy Hartman and Magda Oiry, with help from Mike Clauss, Tom Roeper, Tom Maxfield and Barbara Pearson.
