The Translation Service was established by Professor Hinkle in 1925. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students completed translations on subject matters in their major area of concentration, and faculty offered translation services to the rest of the University. The Modern Language Department and the Division of Continuing Education developed the Summer Institute in English in 1965. The Summer Institute in English, part of the English as a Second Language Program at North Carolina State University, is designed for students, business people, and professionals pursuing more advanced proficiency in English. The Department was later renamed Foreign Languages and Literatures in 1978.
