summary of its activities during
the preceding year. as well as Of

which together show the import
ant role it has taken upon itself
in Jewish cultural creativitY.
During this year Yivo contrib
uted to the treasures of Jewish
culture two standard works that
will play significant role in the
study of the Yiddish language in
America. These are Nahum
Stutchkoff's "Thesaurus of the
Yiddish Language" and Uriel
Weinrich's college Yiddish." The
Thesaurus is the greatest collec-
ton of Jewish words and express
sions ever published in book form.
The volume comprises $4,000
words which were used in the
speech and writing of the dialects
of Eastern European Yiddish.
This work will help every writer,
cultural leader and teacher in
Yiddish, besides serving as vast
inventory of the language as it
appeared from its origins up to
the present time. College Yiddish
is work that will fill a much
needed gap in Yiddish literature
in America; without which the
work of attracting American Jew
ish students to Jewish life and
culture would have been seriously
handicapped.

The Yivo had been in existence
in Wilma for fifteen years and dur
ing that period made it's reputa-
ton throughout the Jewish world
as the leading institution of Jew
ish social research. Equally re-
nowned were its library and ar
chives, which at that time were
considered among the richest and
most varied Jewish collections in
the world. All this was destroyed
during the war.
One can say that the leaders OF
the new center of Yivo had to
begin again almost emptY-handed
to build up the institution in
America. It is true that before
the founding of Yivo there had
been important achievements in
the field of Jewish research in
America. but Yivo was a pioneer
in this field as far as systematic
work in Jewish social research is
