# BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND RESEARCH AIDS IN SOVIET STUDIES

## A SUMMARY REPORT OF THE GREYSTON CONFERENCE

### ELEANOR BUIST

#### Columbia University Libraries

To appraise the state of bibliographic control in an interdisciplinary field requires broad perspective. Under today's conditions of rapid change in information technology it is a matter of some urgency to provide the background for informed decisions.

There are, for example, those who advocate a new approach for Soviet studies through the establishment of a documentation center designed to facilitate services to libraries and to specialists. With or without a center, others say, there is much to be done with both traditional and new techniques once current needs are properly analyzed.

In an attempt to review and assess some of these questions a Conference on Bibliographic and Research Aids in Soviet Studies was held November 19-22, 1966, at Greyston Conference Center, New York, New York. The Conference was co-sponsored by the Joint Committee on Slavic Studies (of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council) and the Coordinating Committee for Slavic and East European Library Resources (COCOSEERS).¹ Columbia University acted as host at the conference center in Riverdale.

The Conference brought together approximately forty persons—academic and government specialists, librarians, and foundation officials—to review the current state of library and bibliographic development in Soviet studies, to assess major deficiencies and needs, and to recommend new solutions and programs for the future.

The program was built around six working papers: Zdenek David, Princeton University, "Bibliographic and Reference Aids"; Theodore G. Hines, Columbia University, "New Trends in Library Science and Technology"; Vaclav Mostecky, Harvard Law School, "Abstracting, Translating and Indexing"; Philip E. Leinbach and Charles Gredler, Harvard University, "Acquisitions and Accessions"; Melville J. Ruggles, Council on Library Resources, "Preservation and Reproduction"; and Thomas T. Hammond, University of Virginia, "Bibliographic, Documentation, and Information Center." This author served as rapporteur and also reported briefly on two annual meetings of the International Federation of Library Associations and the Federation Internationale de Documentation, in September 1966.

In lieu of formal publication of the conference proceedings, some aspects of the papers—hopefully those of more general interest—are summarized in the following paragraphs.²

1

Bibliographic and Reference Aids

Dr. David's historically based survey was keyed to an appendix-bibliography of some 200 items. In keeping with the scope of the conference the emphasis was on general bibliography and on materials published in Russian in the Soviet Union and its historical antecedents, with the purpose of uncovering deficiencies in bibliographic coverage and suggesting new tools. Three types of recommendations were summarized for the conference.

First, there is need for the reprinting of various bibliographies and indexes, both the very scarce early volumes and recent ones not readily available.³

Second, Dr. David offered suggestions for revisions⁴ and new aids. A union list of periodicals is needed, along the lines of *Serial Publications of the Soviet Union 1939-1957*, compiled by R. Smits. (Representatives of the Library of Congress informed the Conference of the current state of this special card catalog. There are 18,000 entries for periodicals of the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1966, and approximately 14,000 cross-references. A subject index is in preparation.) Publication would provide more complete and accurate information on American library holdings than could be given in the 3rd edition of the *Union List of Serials*. There is similarly a need for a new union list of Russian newspapers and the updating of the Ruggles and Mostecky survey and of the Morley guide.

Among the new bibliographies recommended are one for publications on internal developments in the USSR since 1917; specialized bibliographies in subject fields of the humanities and social sciences; and a bibliography of ephemera.

For Russian and Soviet Government publications an updating of those sections of Gregory's *List of the Serial Publications of Foreign Governments* is needed. Descriptions of outstanding Russian collections in American libraries are desirable, as well as catalogs where these would not be largely duplicative of ones already published.

In the area of Russian emigré publications a comprehensive retrospective bibliography of books was recommended by Dr. David together with indexes to the major journals and an updating of the guide to serials.

A bibliography of indexes to major Russian periodicals of the 19th and early 20th centuries should be compiled, and indexes to the contents of periodicals are needed for the following: yearly or quarterly author indexes to *Knizhnaia letopis'* for the years when none are available or the existing ones cover less than quarterly periods; quarterly author indexes to *Letopis' zhurnal'nykh statei* (when lacking); and indexes to major Russian periodicals of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

2

Third, Dr. David pointed to projects requiring cooperation with the Soviet Union. Reproduction of one of the Lenin Library's chief catalogs, the union catalog of Russian books to 1917, would be valuable even in microfilm inasmuch as the major Soviet work in progress for the nineteenth century, in sixty volumes or more, is not expected to be completed for many years. Needed, too, is the reproduction of the card catalog of Soviet dissertations deposited in the Lenin Library, particularly for the period 1945-1955, as well as some bibliographies of the Academy of Sciences' publications for the years 1938 to 1943 which exist only in type-written form.

The Academy of Sciences' Fundamental Library of the Social Sciences issues a series of bulletins which are bibliographies of new Soviet literature in several subject fields, and include journal and newspaper article references as well as monographs. Dr. David recommended increased availability of these bulletins.

## New Trends and Techniques in Library Science and Technology.

Dr. Hines noted that the research on new ways of organizing information in the aftermath of Sputnik at times has resulted in financial support for new agencies and methods at the expense of existing ones. Even in the more affluent area of science two major libraries have had severe problems in maintaining their collections. He also pointed out that university scientists would not be better off, bibliographically speaking, than university social scientists were it not for the overflow of services generated outside the university library by government and industry.

Nevertheless, if funds were forthcoming, the specialists in Soviet studies could have the same array of services that are now available to most scientists. These are, for example, "table of contents services; current awareness service through permuted title indexes of various kinds; computer-based published indexes using human-generated indexing terms; computer tapes created as part of the process of generating the published indexes which contain far more indexing terms than the published indexes and which may be searched by computer; citation indexes; selective dissemination of information to individuals; and, of course, a wealth of new abstracting services, micropublication and mass distribution of report literature, and a plenitude of photocopying services usually not available to the Soviet studies scholar." Such services are provided in science by specialized agencies, large and small, which exist to organize the literature of a particular field for abstracting, indexing, publishing and searching.

Trends in information research, briefly characterized, indicate that permutation indexing and citation indexing produce tools in which "brute force replaces subtlety"; that computer searching of centrally produced tapes with human choice of index entries is gradually being reduced in cost so that it is now competitive with manual searching;

3

that computer typesetting is a significant development which should
bring publishing and information retrieval closer together in the long
run; that research in classification techniques is active, as well as in vo-
cabulary control through thesauri or subject heading lists; and that
there is continuing effort to promote indexing at the source of publica-
tion of journal articles.

To prevent "computer intoxication" Dr. Hines warned that "the suc-
cess of console or on-line systems for computational work does not mean
that they are ready for informational work." The new technology will
not solve problems that require intellectual solution first. Much con-
fusion has resulted from some reported research which mistakes a small,
experimental universe for a large, real universe. These are among the
reasons which make it difficult for the scholar in another field to know
what to ask for when seeking help from information scientists.

The scholar, on the other hand, may be guilty of various other sins,
such as expecting that a classification system devised for his own files
is suitable for computer application to the whole literature of his disci-
pline.

Dr. Hines' general recommendations to the Soviet area scholars and
librarians were, first, to join in doing what could be done economically
in their own institutions and, second, to seek jointly for financial aid in
those matters where better service could be provided by today's tech-
nology. At the same time the scholar should help support adequate
national and subject bibliography on a broad national and interna-
tional level, through government and the societies. In recent years the
needs of the day have been mobilized by the scientist to bring about the
necessary tools for his work, and this could be achieved by the social
scientist. Proven new techniques, and better ones through research, "are
yours for the asking and the paying," he concluded.

Abstracting, Translating, and Indexing

Mr. Mostecky defined seven audience groups ranging from the gen-
eral public at the base of a pyramid extending to the scholars and other
specialist writers and researchers in journalism and government, each
group having different requirements. The multiplicity of serially issued
services, exemplified by a list of 78 titles in the Appendix to his paper is
a reflection of the diversity of needs. "What appears at first glance as a
hopeless duplication of effort," he wrote, "in reality is a series of multi-
colored spotlights illuminating the stage with some degree of overlapping
and a good deal of darkness left. To create a single monolithic stream
of light that would suppress the shades of color would be unfortunate.
However, the possibilities of better coordination of the spotlights and the
restriction of the dark area must be further examined."

Among the major services in the United States are *The Current Digest* of the Soviet Press, the F.B.I.S. (Foreign Broadcast Information Service),

4

the Joint Publications Research Service, the series published by the In-
ternational Arts and Sciences Press, and the *Monthly Index of Russian
Accessions*. Of these, the first four are major translating services and
the last a bibliographic index with translated titles. *The Current Digest
of the Soviet Press* also provides a unique weekly index to the contents
of *Pravda* and *Izvestia*, as well as a quarterly index (not cumulative)
to the selection of articles which it translates from those newspapers and
other periodicals.

After reviewing the characteristics and coverage of the major services,
as well as translations published abroad and the Soviet services in Eng-
lish, Mr. Mostecky evaluated the group from the point of view of dupli-
cation and scattering, availability, adequacy, possible over-extension of
the translating program as a whole, the question of area versus subject
specialization and, finally, the problem of indexing.

His conclusions and recommendations were that, first, an up-to-date
listing of all available services is needed. Second, the fast news services
issued by governmental or quasi-governmental agencies or by news media
operate for definite internal purposes with some recognized and in-
evitable overlapping. They are available to the research community.
The translating activity in social science periodicals is, however, in dire
need of coordination. A step in this direction would be to have the aca-
demic research community establish a working relationship with the
Joint Publications Research Service.

Third, an expansion of *The Current Digest of the Soviet Press* to in-
clude abstracts is strongly recommended. Fourth, there is an overriding
need for a consolidated and cumulative index to Soviet materials. This
could start with indexing translated materials. Such an index would be
a focal point for a documentation center which would maintain close
contact with the Library of Congress, federal government agencies, and
academic research centers.

As to method and equipment, fully automated systems are not suffi-
ciently perfected for indexing, but a "judicious application of electronic
techniques" combined with conventional indexing input is the most
promising.

Rather than the subject heading arrangement of the present *Monthly Index of Russian Accessions* and indexes of *The Current Digest of the Soviet Press*, a topical arrangement is suggested. "It might, for example, follow the Library of Congress or, better yet, the Universal Decimal Classification with its hierarchical coding, possibly best suited for machine application." In aiming for compatibility with other area indexes (China, for example) it should be noted that "topical, hierarchical coding also provides a quick solution to the problems of synonyms, special or unique terminology, and foreign terms, as it is based on underlying logical concepts rather than mere words. It is the only system which can be used internationally without any major rearrangements."

## Acquisitions and Accessions

Mr. Gredler and Mr. Leinbach noted the marked improvement in the overall picture that has taken place in the period of less than a decade since the Ruggles-Mostecky report, and the increasing cooperation of Soviet libraries.

Methods endorsed by the authors include the checking by full time librarians of all the selection tools for current publications. Faculty responsibility should be limited to checking secondhand lists and to providing advice on general selection policies. Prompt ordering is essential. The utility of exchanges is beyond question and should be expanded.

The categories of current material still difficult to procure are provincial serials (local newspapers and journals of the provincial universities and pedagogical institutes), dissertations, and printed dissertation abstracts. The authors recommended that a representative go to the Soviet Union to explore these problems. Retrospective materials most difficult to obtain are pamphlets and journals, and irregular series of the 1920's and 1930's. Cooperative filming would help relieve this situation.

Messrs. Gredler and Leinbach strongly endorsed the principle of division of "depth" collecting responsibility among libraries, citing as an example Harvard's early decision to specialize in certain periods and subjects in Russian history. Present-day circumstances which should encourage this include the improved possibilities for sharing resources, and better physical access to other libraries.

Urging support for the National Program on Acquisitions and Cataloging, established by the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Title II, Part C, Section 231), the authors stated that "everyone concerned with Soviet research materials should back the Library of Congress in every possible way. Groups such as the Association of Research Libraries, the Joint Committee on Slavic Studies and the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies should expend time and money to ensure that this program is brought to fruition as soon as possible." They also recommended that serials be included in the program which is limited in its initial stages to monographs.

The authors called attention to the Center for Research Libraries, formerly the Midwest Interlibrary Center, in Chicago. As an established repository for less-used materials it is seeking to expand its programs for the filming of foreign archives and of foreign newspapers, and for acquiring foreign dissertations. The acquisition of all current science serials of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR is being expanded to include the social sciences and will probably extend to the humanities. The Center is in need of additional library memberships and financial support.

A proposed selection guide was endorsed, to be based on the best consensus obtainable from the scholarly community. The proposal was made at a conference on Area Studies and the Library, held in 1965.⁵

6

In summary, the authors stated: "We have urged support of two agencies with programs of national services already underway—the Library of Congress and the Center for Research Libraries. We have recommended the expanded use of exchanges and the use of a representative in the Soviet Union to explore further exchanges. We have proposed the cooperative filming of early Soviet serials and pamphlets. We have reenforced proposals for a rating of current Soviet publications and a new survey of American library holdings along the lines of the Ruggles-Mostecky report. We have urged that a division of collecting responsibilities be made."

## Preservation and Reproduction of Soviet Publications

The paper presented by Mr. Ruggles pointed first to the grim fact that changes in papermaking methods, not limited to Russia but occurring elsewhere during the nineteenth century, will result in vast numbers of unusable books by the end of the 20th century. While some librarians have long been concerned, most publishers continue to be indifferent.

Efforts of the Council of Library of Resources, among others, to initiate appropriate action have resulted in three major developments in the United States. A permanent/durable paper developed by William J. Barrow's research is now marketed at a price close to that of other quality paper. Second, for books already in bad condition a chemical solution for treatment of deteriorating paper has been devised, also through research conducted by Mr. Barrow, but the problem of applying it to books at a reasonable cost has not been solved. Additional research is underway at the University of Chicago, by Richard D. Smith. Third, a comprehensive program has been worked out by a Committee on the Preservation of Research Library Materials of the Association of Research Libraries. The report prepared by Gordon Williams appeared in two issues of the *Library Journal* (January 1 and 15, 1966). The Library of Congress has assumed responsibility for a national program and will conduct a pilot project for identification of priorities.

In the matter of books of Soviet manufacture, tests on those issued between 1954 and 1957, conducted by Mr. Barrow, were reported by Mr. Ruggles in the February 1960 issue of the *Slavic Review*. In recent tests a smaller sampling of books published between 1964 and 1966 showed no improvement in paper quality.

One of the paradoxes is that Soviet research on matters of preservation and restoration is highly advanced but so far has not improved the quality of the paper being used. The better state of preservation of books in Soviet libraries as compared with their condition in U.S. libraries may be related to factors of climate and temperature. The advantage, however, may delay the Soviets' adoption of permanent/durable paper, in which case our problem in handling their publications will continue indefinitely.

7

As a distant ray of hope Mr. Ruggles suggested "that if new materials
can be fabricated for any unusual requirement in space technology,
and if some of them, like teflon, can become so cheap to manufacture
that they can be found as part of common utensils in ten cent stores, it
would seem that if some people put their mind and will to it we could
have a truly permanent and durable substance on which the knowledge
of our civilization could be recorded."

Even if obsolescence were to be overcome for all current publications it would still be necessary to take steps to preserve what has been printed. The method of copying is common but has many drawbacks. Among them are copyright laws. If the Soviet Union were to adhere to the international copyright convention, matters would change overnight. There are also the hazards of human and machine failure in the process of copying. Microcopying presents other hazards, not the least of which is the condition of spots on microfilm, now the subject of intensive research with no solution found as yet. "Hard copy" reprinting is a very young industry with special problems. Librarians should make their criticisms known to the industry, in order to improve the product.

Mr. Ruggles recommended, in conclusion, "A special effort to study the voluminous technical literature published in the Soviet Union about the making of paper, the production of books, and the preservation of books and documents." Since we are also guilty of issuing impermanent publications, we should be able to discuss matters freely with Soviet librarians, publishers and other responsible authorities, and should bring up the subject at international meetings and elsewhere.

For preservation programs underway in the United States priorities will have to be established. There are sound reasons why Slavicists as a group should press for priorities for Russian materials in this program. Those reasons include "the importance of the USSR in the world community and the specially delicate quality of the paper in Russian publications." In addition, the advice and assistance of Slavicists will be needed in any comprehensive plan.

In matters of reprinting, insistence on permanent/durable paper will benefit libraries. Libraries should also make their copies available to the publishers and request free copies in exchange.

A clearing house for desiderata would benefit all and a special one for Slavic materials is needed, to collate the requests of many institutions. The unified reprints list compiled by Marilyn May and Avis Bohlen, which appeared as two supplements to the *Cahiers du monde russe et soviétique*, "have been an important service to scholarship and one might hope that they will be continued."⁶

## Proposal for a Bibliographic, Documentation and Information Center

In the working paper for Session VI, Professor Hammond stressed the need for a Center with a permanent staff of full time employees. In

8

order to promote discussion he then listed many possible functions, stating that "the fact that I have listed a particular function does not mean that it is necessarily favored by me or by COCOSEERS. Some of the functions listed are problems of great urgency, while others might be looked upon as luxuries."

On behalf of the smaller institutions he strongly endorsed the need for a centralized book selection and purchasing system. This would have a panel of scholars under contract to select and rate current acquisitions on a scale of priorities and would supply the books together with Library of Congress cards to client libraries choosing such a service. The commercial aspect of the system should help to finance other operations of the Center. The data on all new books brought under a form of computer control would generate a significant body of bibliographic information for other purposes.

Other proposals related to a Center include the appointment of a purchasing agent in Moscow for American libraries; the investigation of a "Farmington Plan" division of responsibility among American libraries for collecting in subject fields, and improved liaison with book dealers to provide advice on the needs of American scholars and libraries. A particular need is for control of so-called fugitive materials. Examples are "papers delivered at scholarly meetings (many of which are never published), mimeographed reports produced at Russian research centers, Radio Free Europe research reports and reports of Radio Liberty, embassy press releases; press releases of TASS, Novosti and BBC, reports issued by various emigré organizations." Along these lines "the Center could act as a depository for all papers read at meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies and the Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages, as well as at the regional Slavic conferences."

Other functions suggested for the Center would be to keep in touch with the new program on acquisitions and cataloging at the Library of Congress, to survey needs for bibliographies, indexes and guides; to study the application of new machine technology; to advise commercial firms on needed reprints; to assist in distributing unclassified government reports not duplicated in sufficient quantities; to collect reports of American scholars returning from research trips; and to issue a newsletter for libraries and scholars.

Professor Hammond pointed out that proposals for other bibliographic projects and centers in related fields point to considerable overlapping of interest among specialists on Russia, China, Eastern Europe and the field of history. "It would seem essential, therefore, that our Soviet Center, at the very least, keep in close touch with these other groups so as to coordinate activities, share knowledge and experience and avoid duplication of effort."

Considerations pointing to the advisability of locating the Center in Washington, D. C. were described as follows: "First of all, it should

9

be close to the Library of Congress because of the dominant position which LC holds in acquisitions, cataloging, indexing, and so on. Furthermore, the large staff of specialists at LC would be available for consultation and assistance. Some of the suggested functions of the Center point to Washington as the best location. Let me mention again: obtaining and reproducing unpublished U. S. government materials, maintaining contact with Congress, liaison with other government agencies, keeping up with developments in machine technology and advising U. S. officials during negotiations with Soviet representatives." In addition to the greater likelihood of financial support from government, Professor Hammond pointed out in conclusion: "If it is decided to place the Center under the supervision of the Association of Research Libraries, this also points to Washington.... In addition, the Council on Library Resources is located in Washington, and the American Library Association has an office there."

## Summary of Needs

The Conference had been called to serve as a forum for expressions of opinion rather than as a group which would be expected to take formal action by resolution or vote. At the final session the participants discussed a provisional list which members of the Planning Committee considered to be representative of the numerous suggestions advanced, recognizing that priorities would have to be established. The list of needs, intended to serve as the basis for written commentary to the sponsors, is reproduced below with minor revisions:

Indexing, abstracting and translating needs include (1) closer coordination of present translating and abstracting services in the social science fields; (2) exploration of quick "current awareness" lists; (3) gradual development of a current, comprehensive index to social science and humanities materials in Soviet studies.

In future planning for bibliographic and reference aids there is need for (4) consultation and contracting for the preparation of new reference tools; (5) control of ephemera by bibliographic listing, with the possibility of a depository.

Measures to promote preservation and reproduction should include (6) encouragement of high priority for Soviet materials in preservation programs, local and national; (7) central planning through a clearinghouse for reprinting, with emphasis on deteriorating items; (8) promotion of a union list of microform reproductions and coordination of future efforts.

Recommendations for acquisitions and other areas of technical services include (9) exploration of a division of labor in collecting; (10) provision of guides to selection; (11) the sending of a representative to the Soviet Union to explore exchange of publications with provincial universities and pedagogical institutes; (12) continuing support of the National

10

Program on Acquisitions and Cataloging; (13) consultation on aids to retrospective cataloging.

General recommendations for implementing the above include (14) the exploration of cooperation with the Soviet Union on specific projects; (15) obtaining the services of a consultant to survey the application of new technical developments to Soviet studies' bibliographic problems; (16) the establishment of a Center as a clearinghouse and coordinating and consultative agency.

There was widespread support among the participants for the establishment of a Center, even though opinions varied as to its scope and definition. The meeting of COCOSEERS held in New York City on November 23, 1966 unanimously endorsed the general proposal for founding a Center, recommending primarily advisory, rather than depository, functions.

In the words of one commentator, some proposals made at the Conference appear to emerge from a "bibliographer's dream." Nevertheless, the concern for a bolder planning should result at the very least in the improvement of some services to an important field.

## ACLS Study Group on Problems of Research Libraries

At the request of the National Advisory Commission on Libraries, ACLS has organized a Study Group on the problems of research libraries which will report its findings and recommendations to the Commission in the fall. The report is intended to be utilized by the Commission as it in turn draws up a report for submission to the President's Committee on Libraries by the end of November.

The Executive Order which established the Commission and the Committee last September instructed both bodies to conclude their investigations and deliberations by "developing recommendations for action by Government or by private institutions and organizations designed to ensure an effective and efficient library system for the nation." The President's Committee is required to take into account the Commission's report in formulating its recommendations for submission to the President. Both bodies will cease to exist ninety days after the Commission reports to the Committee.

In a letter of January 17, Melville J. Ruggles, Executive Director of the NACL, officially requested ACLS to sponsor a study of "the present status and the future development of research libraries." Early in February notification of a grant for the study from the Council on Library Resources came in from its president, Verner W. Clapp. The Study Group held its organizational meeting early in March and set priorities on the major problems of research libraries with which it will deal. Members of the Study Group are

## Humanities Endowment Sets Up Museum Training Programs

The National Endowment for the Humanities has initiated two programs to expand the knowledge of museum and historical society curators in the field of the humanities and to encourage more students to make their professional careers in museums and historical societies; it has allocated approximately $213,000 for their support. The goal of the new Endowment programs is to train members of the staffs of museums and historical societies to use their historical and cultural materials so that they may more effectively make the public aware of what America is and the past that made it so.

16

## Museum Internship Program

The internship program will enable curators in small museums and historical societies to study in large teaching museums where, for a designated time, they can broaden their knowledge and develop the understanding necessary to disseminate this knowledge through more effective use of their local collections when they return to them. Interns will be appointed by the participating museums and will receive stipends on a salary matching basis.

The following museums will participate in the new program: Colonial Williamsburg; The University Museum, University of Pennsylvania; Ohio Historical Society; Lowie Museum of Anthropology; New York State Historical Association; Old Salem, North Carolina; Bishop Museum, Honolulu; Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; Smithsonian Institution; Winterthur, Delaware; and the Museum of Northern Arizona.

## Museum Fellowship Program

The fellowship program is designed to interest graduate students in pursuing professional careers in museums and historical societies and, at the same time, to make museums more active in graduate education. Through this program, the Endowment hopes to attract to the field a new generation of young people well grounded in the humanities and their relation to museums. Fellowship appointments in museum-related graduate programs will be supported at the following institutions: University of Maryland; University of Delaware; State University College, Oneonta, N. Y.; and George Washington University.

Under both programs, applications are to be made directly to the museum or university.

## University of Wisconsin's Literary Monograph Series

Editor Eric Rothstein reports the recent publication of Literary Monographs, volume I. This publication is the first of a series of monographs in English and American literature, non-parochial in provenance, to be collected annually and published in hard covers. Volume I contains six monographs.

A project of the Department of English of the University of Wisconsin, this newly inaugurated series was, in Professor Rothstein's words, "partially in response to the ACLS study, Problems of Scholarly Publication in the Humanities and Social Sciences (1959). Both the stimulus for this publication, as well as arguments for its being sponsored by the Department of English, came from the ACLS study."

17

Institute for the Arts and the Humanistic Studies

An Institute for the Arts and the Humanistic Studies has been estab-
lished at The Pennsylvania State University. This Institute is intended
to serve as the focal point of humanistic scholarship and artistic cre-
ativity for the University, and as a channel of communication between
the University and the larger world of arts and letters. Its mission is
both to bring the artists and scholars of the University into closer
contact with their colleagues throughout this larger world and to
acquaint those outside the University with the work of its staff in the
arts and humanities.

The Institute offers senior and postdoctoral fellowships. For further
information, write to Dr. John M. Anderson, Director, 417 Boucke
Building, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802.

# 1967 Japanese Candidates in American History

Eight candidates in American History submitted completed application forms to the Council. These application forms, with supporting letters of reference, were reviewed by Professor Hiroshi Shimizu, Professor of American History at St. Paul's (Rikkyo) University in Tokyo. Professor Shimizu is one of the leading Japanese scholars in American History, an active member of the American Studies Foundation of Japan, and charged with the compilation and maintenance of statistics and information on scholars actively engaged in teaching or writing about American Studies subject matter in Japan.

In reviewing the applications, Professor Shimizu has written:

I should like to explain my situation and also my personal relation with these candidates lest it should be unfair. I know four of the eight candidates personally and from three of these four candidates, I was asked to write a recommendation to you. As for the other four candidates, I am not acquainted with them personally at all. Therefore I did my best to read the theses and articles of each candidate. I, myself, specialize in American history, and it may be the reason why I attach importance to history. But generally speaking, at the present stage of American Studies in Japan, the study of American History is most important, and indispensable for every direction of American Studies. So I would like to recommend historians for your grants strongly. But three of the candidates, Mr. Miura, Mr. Tomita, and Mr. Saruya, are my friends. This makes a problem for me because they are much alike.

Professor Shimizu rated five of the candidates as worthy of consideration by the Advisory Committee. These candidates were all interviewed. Attached to this agenda paper, and in alphabetical order as listed below, are the applications of those five candidates, with supporting letters of reference, Professor Shimizu's ratings and comments, and R.W. Downar interview notes.

## Screening Consultant Ratings

The application was reviewed by Professor Shigeto Tsuru of Hitotsubashi University who writes:

"Academic competence of the applicant stands out. This above all is the reason for recommending him highly; but his study plan is also clearly focused and is logically related to his past research. Highly Recommendable."

## Interview Notes

Interviewed in Tokyo, Tuesday, October 4, 1966.

Dr. Kaizuka is a tall, pale, young Japanese scholar with a good command of English, and an impressive record of professional achievement for one of his age.

He transferred from the private Gakushuin University in Tokyo to Osaka University earlier this year, accepting the new appointment because he believed Osaka University has "the best Department of Economics (Theoretical) in Japan" and for the additional security of a post in a national university compared to a private university.

Being a new addition to the Osaka faculty, his teaching load this year is light-- three classes meeting a total of six hours per week. One class is on Monetary Policy Theory for 30 fourth-year students; one is Readings in Foreign Economic Literature (British-R.J. Ball) for 20 fourth-year students; and the third is a similar readings course (Patinki of the University of Jerusalem) for 8 graduate students. He also participates in the Kansai Economic Research Center (privately sponsored) studies.

He attended Columbia University, and classes of Professors Harshman, Mosak, and Wold (of Uppsala University) in 1958-59 while his father was there as a Visiting Scholar in Chinese History.

Dr. Kaizuka impressed me as a very intelligent, well-trained, young scholar of great promise. He intends to occupy himself primarily with Japanese monetary policy. At present about ten percent of the time of one of his courses is devoted to the United States. He believes that this percentage will increase in future courses he may teach, particularly since he sees great value in the comparative study approach, but he frankly states that he has no intention of becoming an Americanist.

With this limitation (against which should be weighed the importance of assistance in the training of Japanese theoretical economists with a non-Marxian approach), I found him highly recommendable.

He will concentrate his research on the period from 1900 to 1914 (and possibly to the period from 1910 to 1914). He requests affiliation with a university rich in bibliographic and statistical resources on that period, and contact with scholars of similar interest. He suggests Princeton University (Professor Chandler), Yale University (Professor Goldsmith), and Chicago University, but would be guided by the ACLS.

## 16. Research or study plans

Describe in detail the research or study you propose to accomplish in the U.S. For your application to be considered seriously by the ACLS, your plans must be presented clearly, concisely, and completely, reflecting serious and realistic intentions. Your research or study plans must be in sufficient detail to enable an American university to determine whether it has the appropriate faculty and facilities to assist you.

My research objective is to study the financial structure of the American Economy before the First World-War.

I am very much interested to study the process of evolution of the financial structure in the American Economy, and this is the reason why I wish to undertake this research.

My research plan is as follows. First gather statistical information on capital markets before the First World-War. Second, I plan to study workings of each market (for example, government security market and stock market) from this statistical information and other institutional facts. Third, trace the development of these markets in detail. In this case, if possible, quantitative approach will be applied. Fourth, I will try to evaluate how various institutional arrangements or policy implementations contribute to this development. After these research, summarize characteristics of financial structure of this period. And, so far as time permits, I wish to compare the financial development of the American economy with that of Japanese economy, even now, capital market in Japan remains immatured and one of the important policy issues is how we can smoothly develop capital market by institutional arrangements and other policy implementations. I hope that the American experience will suggest something to this policy issue in Japan.

(b) What relation will your proposed research and study have to the post to which you may return and to your long range career plans? At present, I lectures Monetary policy and related fields at College and Graduate Course in Osaka University. This duty still continues after I return to Japan, so the field which I specilizes and my proposes research is closely connected.

COMMENTS

Dear Mr. Downar:

It is a great pleasure for me to recommend Dr. Kaizuka Keimei for the ACLS fellowship, since it is myself who advised him to apply for the fellowship.

I have known Dr. Kaizuka since he was a graduate student in Economics at University of Tokyo. He took several courses which I offered and I was a member of committee examining his Ph.D. Thesis. In my opinion he was one of the most brilliant and promising graduate students, and is placed among the best five or ten we have had in the last ten years. He did excellent graduate work and published a paper in an American professional journal, *Review of Economics and Statistics* (1961), while he was still a graduate student.

Since graduation Dr. Kaizuka has published a number of articles of considerable importance, both in English and in Japanese, and is now already one of the leading young scholars in the field of public finance and monetary problems in Japan. He has recently been interested in current policy problems which Japanese monetary and financial system faces and in order to understand the institutional background and possible future developments and rearrangements he wants to conduct a comparative study on the development of Japanese and American financial systems. For this purpose the ACLS fellowship will be of great help not only to him, but also to the advancement in the understanding of American financial history in Japan.

Dr. Kaizuka is highly intelligent, hard-working and somewhat reserved, and has mature and balanced personality. As a teacher he has already wide experience and is much respected and trusted by students.

COMMENTS

Keimei Kaizuka is a sociable man by the Japanese standard, though I imagine that he may be regarded as a person of a more serious type among American people. His father, Professor Shigeki Kaizuka, is a celebrated historian, and this favorable family background has presumably contributed to his sincere attitude toward research and education. Although he has a quite stable mentality, I hesitate to say that he is quite tough.

As a scholar, he has hitherto published several articles on public finance as well as on monetary policy, some of which are highly appreciated among the specialists. Brought up as a theorist, his academic interest has gradually shifted to the field of empirical or historical research. I am sure that he will become, in the future, a leading economist of this country in the field of money and banking. His recent works on monetary policy and international finance may be taken as testifying to his qualification as an excellent researcher.

As to his qualification as a teacher, I have no direct evidence. But I was told by his former colleague that he made a good job of teaching in Gakushuin University for the past four years. Though it is only three months since he moved to Osaka University, it comes to my knowledge that his lecture on monetary policy is exceedingly popular with the students.

# 1967 Japanese Fellowship Candidates in Economics

Completed applications were received from twelve Japanese candidates in the field of economics. These applications, with supporting letters of reference, were submitted for review to Professor Shigeto Tsuru, Chairman of the Institute for Economic Research at Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo. Professor Tsuru also served as the Screening Consultant in Economics last year.

In reporting to the ACLS his evaluations on the 1967 candidates, Professor Tsuru has written the following general comments:

Economic history in the broad sense appears to be well represented in this year's applications, and among them are the best ones. This, I personally feel, is a good tendency; but at the same time I should like to have seen some scholars in such fields as public utility economics and industrial relations economics apply for these are the fields where Japanese economics profession can learn a great deal from its American counterpart. Pure theorists are conspicuous by absence; and this is as it should be inasmuch as the fellowship is for American studies.

In reviewing the applications, Professor Tsuru rated one candidate as highly recommendable and two as recommendable. The applications of these three candidates, listed below, are attached to this agenda paper with supporting letters of reference, Professor Tsuru's comments, and R.W. Downar interview notes.

1. Dr. Keimei Kaizuka, Osaka University

## Category B - Recommendable

1. Mr. Jiro Toyohara, Kobe University of Commerce no,

2. Mr. Moriaki Tsuchiya, University of Tokyo a possibility?

The following candidates, listed in alphabetical order within each category, were not judged recommendable by Professor Tsuru, and their applications are therefore not submitted to the Advisory Committee.

## Category C - Not Recommendable: Encourage to Reapply

1. Mr. Motoo Haruta, Associate Professor of Economics, Niigata University: The Institutional Framework and Historical Background of the American Financial System.

2. Mr. Koichi Isobe, Professor of Economics, Meiji Gakuin University, Tokyo: The Comparative Structure of Small Business in the U.S.A. and Japan.

European Screening Committee in the Arts, Government, History,
<u>and Literature</u>

1967-68 Competition

The Screening Committee met at the Hotel Dorchester, London, on Wednesday, February 15, 1967.

The Committee was composed of Professors Jean-Jacques Mayoux (Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Paris), J.W. Schulte Nordholt (Professor of History, University of Leiden), Ingrid Semmingsen (Professor of American History, University of Oslo), Heinrich Straumann (Professor of American Literature, University of Zürich), and Dennis Welland (Professor of American Literature, University of Manchester).

The Committee reviewed the applications, with supporting letters of reference, of fifty candidates in fields of the Arts, Government, History, and Literature. The Committee attempted to designate no more than fifteen candidates as recommendable for ACLS Fellowships. The Committee found the general quality of the candidates very good, and despite considerable effort, was unable to reduce the number of recommendable candidates below twenty-one, and even arriving at that figure, several candidates were rejected with considerable reluctance.

The Committee divided the candidates into four groups: Highly Recommendable, Recommendable, Rejected with encouragement to reapply, and Rejected. The candidates placed in each of these four groups are listed, in alphabetical order by group, below. Application papers with supporting letters of reference, Screening Committee comments, and R.W. Downar interview notes, are attached for candidates in Groups I and II in the order listed.

Institutional Grant Requests: Europe

Under the 1960 Ford Foundation grant, a total of $990,000.00 was made available for institutional grants in support of American Studies in Western Europe. All of those funds have now been committed, as summarized on pages 8 and 9 of the September 2, 1966, ACLS report to the Ford Foundation, copies of which were sent to the Advisory Committee this past September.

Under the second five-year Ford Foundation grant, initiated in 1966, a maximum total of $350,000.00 was made available for additional such institutional grants in Western Europe. In previous meetings of the Advisory Committee, grants were approved from this fund for a total commitment of $166,003.78, leaving a balance available of $183,996.22.

Institutional requests for assistance as summarized in the attached Agenda Papers are submitted at this time to the Advisory Committee, for consideration and recommendation, from the following institutions:

* The Technical University of Brunswick; Agenda Paper 6--$4,000.00

* University College, Dublin; Agenda Paper 7--$9,000.00

* University of Innsbruck; Agenda Paper 8--$7,000.00

* University of Newcastle upon Tyne; Agenda Paper 9--$10,000.00

* Center of American Studies, Rome; Agenda Paper 10--$5,000.00

Other institutions planning to submit requests for ACLS assistance within the near future include:

* University of Durham

* University of East Anglia

* University of Florence

* University of Freiburg im Bresgau

* University of Geneva

* University of Genoa

* University of Gothenberg

* University of Kent at Canterbury

* University of London

* University of Oslo

As from Chisolm:

A minor academic scandal that, considering the USA relation to Taiwan, there is almost no teaching of Am. subject matter there. In this aspect way behind Korea. At present neither American Studies in any real sense or even American history in a significant way. What is taught is taught in English and taken for the language. Students can't read sufficiently. The plan is for these MSU trainees to return to Taiwan and teach Am Hist in Chinese language. Their activity crucial to success of program. Chairman of Hist at Taiwan thought to be very good by Wright and Chisolm. Cohen also sincere and able.

Recommend at least Chang and Sun. Other would do no harm, and perhaps round out a team. Hard to say about the 3rd.

Help crucial to success of plan, and making a beginning.

The Screening Committee met at the Hotel Dorchester, London, on Friday, February 17, 1967.

The Committee was composed of Professors Rodolfo De Nova (Professor of Inter-
national Law, University of Pavia), William R. Mead (Professor of Geography,
University College London), Arne Naess (Professor of Philosophy, University of
Oslo), and Pentti Päähönen (Professor of Economics, University of Helsinki).

The Committee reviewed the applications, with supporting letters of reference for forty-seven candidates in fields of Economics, Geography, Law, Philosophy, and Sociology. The Committee judged a large number of the candidates worthy of recommendation, and experienced the greatest difficulty in reducing to manageable proportions the number of candidates approved for further consideration. Approximately ten candidates were eventually rejected with great reluctance.

Dean John Perry Miller
Graduate School

Dear John:

I thought you might be interested in the result of Friday's
meeting of the ACLS American Studies Program Committee to make awards
to candidates from Great Britain, Ireland and Europe.

In the division of Economics, Geography, Law, Philosophy and
Sociology, none were given to students who wished to come for Yale.
Indeed only one applicant (in Law) expressed an interest in Yale as an
alternate choice. The distribution was:

| Institution | Number | Field of Study |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| Berkeley | 3 | (Law, Sociology) |
| Cornell | 1 | (Geography) |
| Harvard | 1 | (Law) |
| MIT/Harvard | 1 | (Geography) |
| Michigan | 1 | (Philosophy) |
| Nebraska | 1 | (Geography) |
| Wisconsin | 2 | (Geography, Sociology) |

In the division of Arts, Government, History and Literature,
candidates for Yale received the largest number, 3 with one more who
preferred Yale but for whom Cornell was recommended, though if she
insists on Yale, may still come. The distribution was:

| Institution | Number | Field of Study |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| Berkeley | 2 | (Literature, Urban Planning) |
| Cornell | 1 | (Literature) |
| Hunter | 1 | (Literature) |
| New York University | 1 | (Economic History) |
| Princeton | 1 | (Philosophy) |
| Purdue | 1 | (Literature) |
| Smithsonian University of Virginia | 2 | (Government, History) |
| Yale | 1 | (Literature) |
| | 3 | (possibly 4)(all Literature) |

(There were two alternates, one for Northwestern in history, the other for Princeton in musicology.)

Simply to refresh your memory as to fellowships awarded last
Fall for 1967-68, the figures were as follows:

## II--FELLOWSHIP CANDIDATES

### C--Europe

The ACLS American Studies Fellowship competition in Europe for 1967-68 produced candidates in a slightly greater number than in previous years, but with a comparable distribution by field of study and by country, and with the exception that more qualified French candidates have applied this year than at any previous time.

The two European Screening Committees, and particularly Committee Two (in Economics, Geography, Law, Philosophy, and Sociology) were of the opinion that a very high proportion of the candidates were well qualified, and that screening and selection were exceptionally difficult. The ACLS staff, itself, has failed to note any appreciable difference in quality between the candidates this year and those of recent years. Attached to this Agenda Paper is a chart comparing the present competition with that of last year.

The following Agenda Paper 15 contains the minutes of the Screening Committee in the Arts, Government, History, and Literature, with 21 applications attached.

Agenda Paper 16 contains the minutes of the Screening Committee in Economics, Geography, Law, Sociology, and Philosophy, with 16 applications attached.

The number of Fellowships the Advisory Committee will be able to recommend depends upon the action taken with respect to Agenda Papers 12 (renewal requests) and 13 (Chinese candidates), and is therefore difficult to estimate. Should their qualifications be judged appropriate, however, it is assumed that the Committee will be able to recommend grants to somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four candidates plus two or three alternates. Since information on supplementary income for each candidate is still arriving at the time this Agenda Paper is being prepared, the estimated total cost to the ACLS for each candidate will be available only at the meeting.

We have now been able to settle the question of the next
ACLS American Studies Advisory Committee meeting. It will be held on Friday, April 21st. The meeting will be concerned with new institutional grant requests from Euroepp and the Pacific, applications from this year's Fellows for a renewal of their fellowships for a second year, and selection of European candidates for 1967-68 awards.

Dear Norman,

Thank you *very* much for going over the Chinese applications for us.
Also thank Larry Chisholm for us--I would write to him myself, but don't know
where to address the letter.

I am arriving in Taiwan on a Friday evening, and leaving the following
Wednesday. This really meant that it was physically impossible for me to meet and
spend the two hours I usually devote to such meetings with each of the seventeen
candidates--so the four weakest I am sending what I hope are appropriately worded
rejection letters to at the same time I am writing to the others, feeling that I
had to write to them now rather than after the December meeting since they easily
might hear of my letters arranging interview appointments with other candidates
and worry that my letter to them had gone astray. This has happened before, and
the unsuccessful candidate finds out where I am staying, comes to my hotel anyway,
and there is general embarrassment all the way around.

One of the Chinese scholars--a professor of ancient history at National
Taiwan University and one of the people the ACLS has had close and frequent contact
with in connection with our work with the Academia Sinica--is in this country to
attend the International Congress of Orientalists in Michigan. He came by our offices
today. Since he has been of great assistance in establishing and announcing the ACLS
American Studies competition in Taiwan, I went over the seventeen candidates with him.
He knows fourteen of them personally, and gave me his frank opinion on each. As it
developed, he quickly recommended rejection of the four whose applications you also
found the weakest. In no case did he rate any candidate stronger than you did, which
I hope will please you as it did me.

All of the preliminary screening for the Pacific competition is now com-
pleted. I shall be interviewing (and you and the other members of the Advisory Com-
mittee will be considering, on December 8th) 37 Japanese, 13 Chinese, and 12
Australians and New Zealanders... so be prepared.

I will be sending to you next week a copy of our Annual Report on American
Studies to the Ford Foundation. Once again, thanks a million, and please don't get
in the way of any flying bricks or bottles.

Your name is familiar to me through correspondence I had with Dr. de Azavedo, director of the Latin American Education Commission, in the fall of 1967 when there was the possibility that you might apply for an ACLS American Studies Fellowship for the academic year 1968-69 - a step that became unnecessary when you received a scholarship from the Istituto de Alta Cultura.

As Mrs. Onat told you, it is difficult for this Council to consider
you for a 1969-70 Fellowship since the competition closed last December 1st,
all applications and letters of reference have been completed, and the screening
of candidates is now under way. Despite these obstacles, and because I am
aware of the scarcity, in Portugal, of scholars well-trained in American litera-
ture, I would like to exhaust every possibility of assisting you. For that
reason, I am enclosing an application form. What I would like you to do is
the following:

Complete the application form and return it to me no later than the
first week of March. Show page 4 (your research and study plans), when
you have completed it, to several professors at Yale who have become acquainted
with your work in New Haven during the past few months, and ask them to write
a "letter of reference" to me evaluating your qualifications and your work.
Those letters of reference also should reach me no later than the first week
of March. Along with your application, please send to me a carefully planned
estimate of your financial needs, both as to amount and the period of time
during which the assistance would be needed.

If I receive the requested items, I shall present your request to this Council at its meeting in April. If there are any funds left over after the outstanding candidates in the regular competition have been selected, I shall ask the Council to consider offering you a special grant-in-aid. The possibility may not be particularly good, but I do think it is worth the effort - and I would be able to let you know of the Council's decision before the 1st of May.

Dear Mr. Pearson:

This is a note to express my ap-
preciation to you for your kindness in
talking over with me so fully the
American Studies Program in general and
the situation of the ACLS Fellows from
abroad in particular. It was not only
extremely informative to me but stimulating
in itself to see how Yale's excellence in
this field is organized, and personally
pleasant indeed.

With thanks again,

Dear Dick:

When I wrote to Professor Myres McDougal of the Law School to tell him what had happened on the award in law, I mentioned feeling that Professor Takiuchi would have been an admirable candidate if he were not already in the States this year. I lamented that it would not be possible for an institution like Harvard to permit him to stay another year. Professor McDougal replied as follows:

It might be that you could arrange for a fellowship for Professor Takiuchi. I don't remember his record well enough to write a persuasive letter. What I would suggest is that you drop a note to Professor David Cavers, Chairman of the Committee on Graduate Studies at the Harvard Law School, and inquire as to the possibilities. You might even send along a xerox of Professor Takiuchi's record. You might indicate that you know Professor Takiuchi would not be interested in an ordinary graduate fellowship but that you are writing to Professor Cavers in the hope that he might refer your inquiry to the appropriate people. Cavers once had a very strong personal interest in Japan, and he might make the right moves.

I should be delighted to do this if you think it appropriate, but I shall need to have Professor Takiuchi's dossier again. I did not take a copy with me, perhaps foolishly for these records of Japanese are invaluable.

Indeed I seem to have left behind me several items which I hoped to take along, chief among them being the list of addresses of the present fellows. Could you send me a duplicate? Perhaps I shall see you at one or another of the ASA programs at the end of the week.

Sincerely,

NHP/wh

Dear Myres:

I waited to thank you for your very great kindness in going
through the ACLS law applications for me until the meeting
on the 14th at which the committee arrived at its decision.
The vote was for fellowships which would enable Professor Tanaka
to go to Harvard and Professor Fujikura to go to Vanderbilt. I
myself was very much for Takiuchi and several were with me in
feeling that he was an outstanding candidate. On the other hand
the majority of the committee felt that he was too well qualified
and particularly were swayed by the fact that he was already
spending the current year in this country. I only wish that it
were possible for some law school, especially Harvard to give
him a fellowship for the coming year for I feel he would make
particularly good use for it.

I can only renew my thanks for your kindness. I was asked by the
committee also to thank you.

Sincerely,

HP/wh

FELLOWSHIPS FOR RESEARCH
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to announce an American Studies Fellowship Program for the academic year 1969-70 available to citizens of Western Europe. These Fellowships are for scholars of no more than 45 years of age, who are teaching at the university level or are in the final stage of preparation for such positions and who wish to undertake advanced research in the United States on some aspect of the history, culture, or civilization of that country. Appropriate fields include American history or literature, the geography, economic history, law, or government of the United States, American art, architectural history, or philosophy, or the social structure, political or economic institutions of the United States. Research on the general theory or the techniques of any discipline is *not* appropriate to this program.

The Fellowships are for a minimum period of nine months, and provide for all expenses, including transportation, maintenance, and health insurance for the recipients and their accompanying dependents, as well as the recipients' educational and research expenses.

Selection of candidates will be on a competitive basis. Scholars interested in applying should write to *The American Studies Program, American Council of Learned Societies, 345 East 46th Street, New York, N. Y. 10017, U.S.A.*, before December 1, 1968. The letter should contain the applicant's name, address, age, position, a very brief description of the research he wishes to undertake and the names and addresses of three scholars who might serve as referees of the candidate's qualifications. If the ACLS judges the candidate to be qualified to enter the competition, formal application forms will then be sent to the candidate for completion and return before January 1, 1969. Announcement of awards will be made in April, 1969.

It is hoped that you will call the existence of the ACLS American Studies Fellowship Program to the attention of appropriate scholars of your acquaintance.

Mr. Stephen H. Stackpole
Executive Associate
The Carnegie Corporation of New York
437 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10022

Dear Mr. Stackpole:

This letter is intended as a report to you on recent ACLS activities in connection with the Carnegie Corporation grant to this Council for the purpose of strengthening American Studies in Australia and New Zealand through the awarding of research grants to qualified scholars in those two countries. It is the third such report, the second having been sent to you on January 27, 1967.

In the second report, I discussed the reception of the first group of four Fellows who held their grants during the academic year 1966-67. All were Australians who brought their research to a conclusion in the summer of 1967 and returned to Australia. Three returned to their previous posts, and the fourth, Dr. Enid Campbell, who was an Associate Professor of Legal History at the University of Sydney when she initiated her fellowship, was appointed the Isaac Isaacs Professor of Law at Monash University upon her return to Australia.

The ACLS does not ask its American Studies Fellows to submit a final report evaluating their research and experiences while in the United States until one year after they have departed from this country. This delay is for the purpose of allowing the Fellows adequate time to develop considered opinions placed in proper perspectives. Consequently, the final reports will be arriving from that first group of Carnegie Corporation supported Fellows this autumn. Copies of those reports will be forwarded to you, should you so desire.

1967 - 1968

During the academic year which has just concluded, five Fellows were brought to the United States, as described in the following paragraphs.

Dr. Michael E.R. Bassett, Lecturer in (American) History at the University of Auckland, was engaged in research on American labor history, particularly with reference to the Socialist Party from 1919 to 1921. His physical location in Washington, D.C., was believed desirable both for

- 2 -

bibliographic resources and contact with people knowledgeable on this aspect of American history. The question of an appropriate institutional affiliation in Washington has long vexed the ACLS in connection with its European American Studies program, since none of the universities in Washington proved particularly interested in, or adaptable to, the needs of a post-doctoral research scholar. With Dr. Bassett, the ACLS experimented by affiliating him as a Visiting Scholar with the Smithsonian Institution - with no particular success. Office space was available to Dr. Bassett, and a reasonable amount of hospitable reception was accorded him. Scholarly, professional interest or assistance was largely lacking, although luckily this was of no great need to Dr. Bassett. Upon his departure from the U.S., Dr. Bassett professed to be pleased with the material he had gathered, and foresaw a book and a number of articles resulting from his research. He delivered lectures at several universities, attended professional conferences, and otherwise expanded considerably his acquaintance with other American historians. He has no thought of leaving New Zealand, although one suspects that his primary interests will become increasingly political rather than academic.

Mr. Roger S. Clark, Jr., is a Junior Lecturer in Law at the Victoria University of Wellington. Affiliated with Columbia University for research on the protection of the individual from governmental administrative bodies in the United States, he quickly found himself interested in much broader aspects of American law. Pleased with instruction at Columbia, and encouraged by the faculty there, he formally enrolled in a number of courses. Wishing to extend those studies for a second year, he has secured financial support from Columbia University for a nine-month period following the termination of his ACLS provided maintenance allowance on October 1, 1968, so will not return to Wellington until late next June.

Mr. Charles D. Doyle, Senior Lecturer in American Literature at the University of Auckland, came to the United States to undertake research on William Carlos Williams at Yale University, with subsidiary work at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He was very pleased with his reception at Yale, and with the research he accomplished, which has resulted in a completed manuscript tentatively scheduled for publication by the Wesleyan University Press. Unfortunately for a strict view of the Program's objectives, Mr. Doyle accepted, during the concluding weeks of his ACLS fellowship, appointment as an Associate Professor of American Literature at the Victoria University of British Columbia. This is the first case, in over five years of experience with some two hundred foreign Fellows in American Studies, that a Fellow with a university appointment in the country of his origin has not returned to academic life in that country. From a broader viewpoint, of course, American Studies abroad has not suffered, although New Zealand has lost an academic to Canada. The ACLS can, and does, raise a reasonably effective barrier against a foreign Fellow accepting a university appointment in the United States. It cannot, and probably should not, attempt to place any additional restrictions upon the career development of a Fellow.

Mr. Manfred F. Mackenzie, a Lecturer in English at the University of Adelaide, undertook research on Henry James, and was affiliated with New York University in order that he might benefit from the guidance and assistance of Professor Leon Edel. Mr. Mackenzie has just returned to Adelaide, satisfied with his accomplishments and the publications which are already

- 3 -

scheduled or in progress, growing out of that research. His satisfaction (as
that of a Japanese scholar working on Henry James at N.Y.U. under ACLS sponsor-
ship) was, however, certainly not due to Professor Edel. The resentment expressed
by these two foreign scholars with their reception by Professor Edel will un-
doubtedly effect ACLS affiliation decisions concerning any future foreign scholars
working on Henry James.

Dr. Norman C. Talbot, a Lecturer in American Literature at the
University of Newcastle, was affiliated with Yale University for work on modern
American poetry. He was highly satisfied with his reception at Yale and the
assistance he received from the Yale faculty. One of the results, a book on the
phases of childhood in modern American poetry, is largely completed, and will be
published by either the University of Sydney Press or the Yale University Press.
In part because of his work in the United States, he expects to be promoted to
the rank of Senior Lecturer shortly after his return to Australia.

1968 - 1969

In December 1967, the ACLS concluded the third, and final, com-
petition for American Studies Fellowships to be financed by the Carnegie
Corporation of New York. Members of the ACLS American Studies Advisory Committee
which made the selections were:

Marver H. Bernstein, Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International
Affairs, Princeton University

Arthur F. Burns, John Bates Clark Professor of Economics, Columbia University,
and President, National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc.

Robert H. Ferrell, Professor of American History, Indiana University

William M. Gibson, Professor of English, New York University

John D. Goheen, Professor of Philosophy, Stanford University

Norman Holmes Pearson, Professor of English and American Studies, Yale
University

Arthur T. Von Mehren, Professor of Comparative Law, Harvard University

Bell I. Wiley, Professor of American History, Emory University

In that competition, a total of twelve candidates judged worthy
of serious consideration were evaluated, and fellowships to be initiated in 1968
were awarded to the following:

Dr. Paul F. Bourke, Lecturer in American History, University of Melbourne,
and designated Professor of American Studies, Flinders University of
South Australia, for research on nineteenth century American social
criticism, with Smith College affiliation.

Mr. Ralph H. Brookes, Professor-in-Charge, School of Political Science and
Public Administration, Victoria University of Wellington, for research
on voter behavior and attitudes in the 1968 U.S. elections, with University
of Michigan affiliation.

Dr. Harry G. Gelber, Senior Lecturer in History, Monash University, for re-
search on the evolution, present state, and possible future development of
U.S. policies in the Indo-Pacific region, with Harvard University affilia-
tion.

- 4 -

Dr. L. James Holt, Senior Lecturer in American History, University of
Auckland, for research on aspects of American liberal political thought
during the New Deal period, with Harvard University (Charles Warren Center
for Studies in American History) affiliation.

In the Terms of Award issued to each recipient of one of these
fellowships, the role of the Carnegie Corporation of New York is stated in the
first paragraph, and also in each payment made to a Fellow during tenure. A
copy of the financial report of the ACLS Comptroller to the Corporation for the
twelve-month period ending July 1, 1968, is enclosed.

As an additional note of information, the ACLS is currently
considering, for 1969-70 American Studies Fellowships, four candidates from New
Zealand and eighteen from Australia. They will be considered in competition with
approximately ninety candidates from Japan and the Republic of China - all com-
peting as individual scholars without regard to nationality for the approximately
nine Pacific area fellowships supported by a grant to the ACLS from the Ford
Foundation. In view of the noticeable rise of interest in American Studies in
Australia and New Zealand, and the resulting rise in the number of qualified
applicants entering the competition each year, the termination of Carnegie
Corporation support is understandably regretted.

With this Council's gratitude to the Carnegie Corporation of
New York for its support, and assurances of my readiness to supply you with any
additional information you may desire, I remain,

Sincerely yours,

Enclosure

AMERICAN STUDIES FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to announce a competition for American Studies Fellowships, to be initiated in 1969 and available to scholars of Australia, the Republic of China, Japan, and New Zealand. These Fellowships are for scholars of no more than 45 years of age who are teaching at the university level, and who wish to engage in advanced research in the United States on some aspect of the history, culture, or civilization of this country. Appropriate fields include American history or literature, the geography, economic history, law, or government of the United States, American art, architectural history, or philosophy, or the social structure, political or economic institutions of the United States. Research on the general theory or the techniques of any discipline is *not* appropriate to this program.

The Fellowships are for a minimum period of nine months and may be extended to a maximum period of two years. The Fellowships provide for all expenses, including transportation, maintenance, and health insurance for the recipients and their accompanying dependents, as well as the recipients' educational and research expenses, including English language instruction where necessary.

Selection of candidates for these Fellowships will be on a competitive basis. Scholars interested in Fellowships to be initiated during the year 1969 should write to *The American Studies Program, American Council of Learned Societies, 345 East 46th Street, New York, N.Y. 10017, U.S.A.* The letter, which must arrive at ACLS before July 1, 1968, should contain the applicant's name, address, age, university position, a brief description of the research he wishes to undertake, and the names and addresses of three scholars who would be willing to provide letters of recommendation. If the ACLS judges the candidate to be qualified to enter the competition, formal application forms will then be sent to the candidate for completion and return before August 1, 1968. Announcement of awards will be made in December, 1968.

It is requested that you call the existence of the ACLS American Studies Fellowship Program to the attention of appropriate scholars of your acquaintance.

ACLS FELLOWSHIPS FOR RESEARCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM

THE AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED SOCIETIES is a federation of organizations and societies in the United States of America concerned with the humanities and the humanistic elements in the social sciences. It was organized in 1919 and incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1924. It represents the United States in the *Union Académique Internationale*.

The ACLS since its foundation has actively contributed to the encouragement of the study in the American education system of the language, history, and culture of other nations, while in recent years an increasing number of the members of its constituent societies have engaged in the teaching of various aspects of the culture of the United States in the universities of other countries.

The ACLS has warmly welcomed the rising interest among scholars of other countries in the broad field of American studies. The Council believes that such scholarly research is of great importance to Americans because it will bring fresh insights and therefore deeper understanding of their own culture to Americans themselves.

It is also the conviction of the ACLS that just as the study of the culture of other countries is bringing a growing enrichment to the American educational system, so may intellectual life abroad derive benefits from an increased scholarly attention to the sources and development of American culture.

For these reasons the ACLS is gratified that it may contribute more substantially and more directly, through funds generously placed at its disposal by the Ford Foundation, in assisting foreign scholars who wish to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the United States.

The ACLS is therefore pleased to announce a Fellowship Program to enable such scholars to undertake a period of research in the United States. Approximately forty Fellowships will be offered each year to candidates under the following conditions of eligibility, selection, and tenure.

ELIGIBILITY

1. Awards are open to scholars who are citizens of any of the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Republic of China, Denmark, Finland, France, The Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and The United Kingdom.

2. Candidacy is open to university graduates who

a. are at present engaged in post-graduate research and lecturing at the university level;

b. propose to pursue a teaching career in which scholarly competence in some aspect of the civilization of the United States of America might appropriately be utilized; and

c. are interested in undertaking research in the United States on some branch of American studies, including American history, literature, geography, government, economic history, law, art history, architectural history, social institutions, etc.

3. Candidates must be in good health, should have a good command of the English language, and should be not over forty-five years of age at the time of the submission of their applications.

4. Previous experience in the United States does *not* disqualify an applicant.

SELECTION

5. Selection of Fellows will take into account evidences of scholarly attainment, as well as present and prospective professional status.

6. Preliminary screening of application forms will be accomplished by the American Council of Learned Societies.

7. Application papers of candidates approved in the preliminary screening will be referred to one of several Screening Committees in the various disciplines. Each of these Screening Commit-

tees will be composed of scholars with internationally recognized competence in the pertinent branch of American studies. Each Screening Committee will nominate panels of approved candidates to the American Council of Learned Societies.

8. Most candidates whose applications have been favorably reviewed by the Screening Committees will be interviewed at or near their places of residence by an ACLS staff member. Announcement of awards will be made by the ACLS no later than January for candidates from the Western Pacific, and no later than the last week in April for candidates from Europe.

9. Confirmation of all Fellowship awards is conditional upon

a. the granting of an Exchange Visitor visa by the United States consular authorities, and

b. satisfactory completion of arrangements by the American Council of Learned Societies for the candidate's proposed program of research in the United States, including affiliation with an appropriate American university.

## TENURE

10. Fellows will normally be required to spend a minimum of nine months in the United States. Fellowships will be awarded initially for one year, with extension depending upon a review, in the latter part of the first year, of the Fellow's progress and needs.

11. Fellows are required to agree that during tenure they will not solicit nor accept any other appointment, award, or employment. Fellows must undertake to leave the United States at the conclusion of the Fellowship, and not to seek or accept residence or employment in the United States for a period of two years thereafter.

12. Fellows are required to follow a definite program of research and study acceptable to the ACLS, and are expected to be based at selected institutions. Every effort will be made to place Fellows where they are most likely to achieve their desired programs, and Fellows' own wishes will be given every consideration.

13. The ACLS encourages travel by a Fellow in the United States at the termination of his formal period of research and study. Such travel plans may be facilitated by extra financial assistance by the ACLS.

14. After completion of the Fellowship, a Fellow shall submit to the ACLS a report on his work and experience in the United States.

15. A Fellowship may be terminated by the ACLS if, in the opinion of its officers, a Fellow has not observed the obligations compatible with the purposes and nature of the Fellowship.

## EMOLUMENTS

16. Fellowship emoluments cover expenses of travel, residence and research during tenure, as follows:

### Basic

a. A basic stipend ranging from $300 to $450 a month, depending upon age and position.

### Emoluments

b. A basic book and equipment allowance.

c. Research expenses, fees, and tuition.

d. Travel from a Fellow's home to the United States and return.

e. Health insurance, for the Fellow and accompanying dependents.

### Supplementary Allowances

f. Travel from a Fellow's home to the United States and return for each accompanying dependent.

g. To a Fellow who at the time of award is married or has comparable family obligations: if the dependents do not accompany the Fellow to the United States, an allowance, if required and within a maximum of $175 a month, to supplement the Fellow's personal income and resources for maintenance of his home and care of his family in his home country during the tenure of the Fellowship.

h. To a Fellow who is married at the time of award and is accompanied to the United States by his wife and other dependents: a supplementary allowance of up to $100 per month for the wife, and up to $75 per month for each additional dependent, if required and taking into account their earnings and family resources other than the Fellow's own emoluments on the Fellowship.

i. For approved periods of travel while in the United States, a supplementary allowance to the Fellow may be allotted.

These emoluments and supplementary allowances are planned to enable a Fellow to live and travel in the United States so as to achieve the fullest realization of the purposes of the Fellowship, and payments to the Fellow for these purposes are expected to be expended in the United States.

## INFORMATION

17. The ACLS must receive completed applications from Europe no later than January 1st, and from the Western Pacific no later than August 1st.

Dear Dick:

Many thanks for your letter of June 11. The membership of the committee
is excellent both in reference to the fields and the regions. I am
putting down December 13 but may be in a little difficulty. I agreed
to speak at the Annual Meeting of the Southwest American Studies Associa-

they can settle upon a date. One of the problems has been that the
regional president is still abroad.

It looks now as though I should be leaving for Australia and New Zealand
about mid-July and will return about mid-September. I hope to get to
New York to see you before then, but if you have any desirable briefing
material that you can send, I should be most grateful. You spoke of

Dear Norman:

This Council's Board of Directors has asked me to report to you their sincere thanks for your assistance during the past year in serving as a member of the ACLS American Studies Advisory Committee, and their pleasure in your agreement to continue serving on that Committee during the coming year. Needless to say, I wish to add my own warm, personal appreciation.

I am enclosing a copy of the minutes of the last meeting. The competition for 1969-70 fellowships in the Pacific is now under way. Although that competition does not close until later this summer, it would appear that the notable decline we noticed in the applications from Europe this past winter is being repeated in the Pacific, particularly in Japan. We can only hope that the evident reluctance of foreign scholars to come to the United States during this troublesome period will be short-lived.

For the next meeting of the Advisory Committee, I would like to suggest Friday, December 13th. If this would be difficult for you, please let me know. The other Committee members this coming academic year will be:

John B. Hurlbut, Jackson E. Reynolds Professor of Law, Stanford University

William R. Hutchison, Professor of American Intellectual and Religious History, Harvard University

James J. Parsons, Professor of Geography, University of California, Berkeley

Dear Mr. Downar:

Assuming that you have already been informed about the
formation of a committee on Kyoto Seminar in the Japanese
Association for American Studies, I should like to tell you
the recent activities of the committee.

The committee held the second formal meeting on May 2 at Kyoto and the members agreed on the following points.

1. We appreciated the important role that had been played by Kyoto Seminar in encouraging American Studies all over Japan. And we tentatively concluded that the Seminar should be continued in future years incounding 1971.

2. As the Seminar has been facing lots of difficulties such as organizational and financial ones, we decided to continue our efforts for finding possible solutions that could be recommended to the Committee for Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar. We hope we can accomplish this task by the end of coming June.

3. As for the idea to invite Professor Jensen to Japan which was transmitted by Mr. Makoto Saito to the committee members, we all appreciated your kind suggestion and decided to ask your favor to inquire whether it is possible for Professor Jensen to come over to Japan at the time when Kyoto Seminar starts, that is July 17th, and to stay with us for a week or so. We hope we shall hear from you soon and meanwhile we shall prepare for receiving Professor Jensen.

Sincerely yours,

Motoo Kaji

Dear Mrs. Wright:

Please find enclosed this Council's check for $1,500.00, payable to Yale University, and representing the ACLS contribution of $500.00 per scholar toward such expenses as the University may incur in continuing to assist, during the second half of the current academic year, the following ACLS American Studies Fellows enjoying Visiting Scholar affiliation with the University as noted:

Dr. Silvio Borner, Vollamtlicher Dozent, St. Gall Graduate School of Economics, Business and Public Administration - Department of Economics;

Mr. Takuo Miyake, Assistant Professor, Kyoto University, Japan - Department of American Studies; and

Dr. Fukutaro Watanabe, Professor, Gakushuin University, Japan - Department of Economics.

I should also like to remind you of another ACLS fellowship recipient, Mrs. Maria-Irene de Sousa Santos of Coimbra University, Portugal, who is continuing her enrollment as a candidate for a doctoral degree in Yale's Department of American Studies. This Council will pay the University fees for her tuition, and I request that you send the bills directly to me.

Dr. Masahide Katoh, Associate Professor, Rissho University, Japan, has been enjoying Visiting Scholar affiliation with the Department of Economics. His ACLS fellowship terminates, after sixteen months, on March 1, 1971, so this Council is making no further contribution for Yale University assistance to him.

There are two ACLS Fellows affiliated with the Law School. Mr. Koichiro Fujikura, of Doshisha University, Japan, is also terminating his fellowship on March 1, and no further contribution is being sent to the Law School by this Council. Mr. Boaventura de Sousa Santos of Coimbra University, Portugal, is the recipient of a Law School fellowship defraying his tuition fees.

Dear Norman:

I have been reluctant to encourage Hiromu Shimizu by letting him reapply for an ACLS fellowship. In his previous two attempts, he failed to arouse any interest among the members of the Advisory Committee, who felt that he was a "curiosity" with religious interests far outweighing his literary interests, and with doubtful future impact on American studies in Japan. If he does decide to reapply, and unless you strongly believe he should be reconsidered, he will probably have little chance.

Dear Dick:

I realize that you will already have left for Europe but am writing
you in order that this letter concerning George Salto will be on
your desk and in his dossier on your return. He has sent me a copy
of your letter to him so that I presume that I understand the situa-
tion as far as it can be understood. Naturally I do not know what
your decision will be as to his eligibility but I should like to
say that I discussed his project with Salto when I was in Japan, and
saw him not only in Tokyo but particularly at Sendai where we were
guests together at a two day symposium. He does know what he is doing,
and will do it. I was impressed by the ability of his talk at the
Sendai American Literature Society, and he demonstrated his abilities
well. He has as you know occupied a very special position in Japan
and so far as I can see is highly respected by his colleagues. It
is good to know that he will now give more time to direct teaching
and research, and this may be one of the small compensations for the
smaller government budgets which presumably occasioned his release.

With all best wishes as always,

Dear Mr. Shimizu:

Thank you for your New Year's letter; I can think of no better way for the year to begin for me than with a greeting from a friend in Japan.

I will certainly write a note to Mr. Downar asking if you can apply again. I do not know the rules that are established for application but I am sure that he will give you every possible consideration. He is a fine man and particularly interested in the fellowships which are allotted to Japan.

I am glad that you are continuing with your reading in American literature, especially in poetry. If you are fortunate enough to be able to come with a fellowship to Yale I am sure that we can arrange for you to audit classes having to do both with poetry and prose. It would be possible too for you to attend some seminars at the Yale Divinity School, but I think the best tactic would be for you to say that you wish to come to Yale to be associated with the American Steddie Program and to do work both in American literature and in the field of the religious implications of that literature.

I was pleased to find that American literature had taken on increased status at Nara Women's University. Please give my greetings to Professor Yemanouchi; I am sure that under his skilled guidance you will all make great progress.

I will show your letter or at least give the sense of it to Miyake and I know he will be pleased to have your greetings. He is working very hard on Hawthorne and has been an auditor in my seminar on poetry. With all best wishes to you for the new year,

Dr. Norman Holmes Pearson
2731 Hall of Graduate Studies
Yale University
New Haven, Connecticut

Dear Dr. Pearson:

It is a great pleasure for me to write to you as a student in
your classes at Kyoto American Seminar in 1970. I decided to
begin my new year with writing a letter to you, for we Japanese
are superstitious enough to believe that the very first thing
we do on New Year's Day can determine the year's luck.

It was in 1968 that I first applied for an ACLS fellowship. I was lucky enough to have the personal interview with Mr. Downar, but failed in the final screening because I did not have any American reference. In 1969 I applied for it once more only to fail again, for the conditions on my side did not change at all. Since then I have been doing my best to cultivate associations in this field.

The year 1970 was very fruitful in this field, firstly because I was at last able to attend your Kyoto American Seminar classes. I was so impressed by your lectures that I decided to read Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot with my graduate students in 1971. I hope I can digest and make full use of what I earned from your lectures.

Secondly the year 1970 was fruitful because I attended Modern Theology classes given by Dr. Clarence Bass at Osaka Bible Seminary in the fall term of the year. He was a visiting professor from Bethel College, St. Paul, who once lectured on "The Cultural Background of Modern American Literature" at Harvard University. He assured me, when I told him about my ambition of applying for an ACLS fellowship in order to study under you and, if possible, at the same time in the Divinity School of Yale University which you mentioned in our personal talk last summer, that it would be of great value to me.

You can notice the remarkable progress I have made in my foreign
scholarly contacts, which made me decide that I am now better
qualified to apply for the ACLS fellowship. In 1970 I did not
apply, and if things had been the same, I would not have the

NARA WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY

NARA, JAPAN

Dr. Pearson, will you be kind enough to write a recommendation
letter for me when I apply this year, for I want to study in
Yale University very badly? I am afraid this might be too bold
but, Dr. Pearson, will you mind asking Mr. Downar to give me
another chance to apply for the ACLS fellowship this year for
the last time? Of course I will write to him and tell him my
true desire, but as you know him personally your words will
help me in obtaining the opportunity for this last try.

I feel I must give you one more progress we made in our Nara
Women's University last year for your better understanding of
my situation. The American Literature course of our school,
which had been included in the English Department, was elevated
in 1970 to the status of a department, and Professor Kuniomi
Yamanouchi, Chairman of the Kansai Branch of Japan Society of
American Literature, is now the major professor under whom I am
working as the Assistant Professor. He is quite happy if I can
get an ACLS fellowship and make further research in American
literature.

Please give my best regards to Miyake-sensei who is now studying
under you. We have been acquainted through our Hawthorne study.

Now, not as a superstitious Japanese but as a Christian relying
on God's guidance this year, I eagerly pray that the new year of
1971 may bring you and Mrs. Pearson lots of happiness and joy.
May the Lord bless you richly in your research.

PS Thank you very much for your heart-warming letter received
on January 2. It was quite encouraging to know that you read my
articles and gave them the 'excellent' grade. You can not imagine,
Pearson-sensei, how rosy your letter made my new year. Thank you
very much again. I promise you to do my best in order to visit
your country and study in your school.

Though this letter was written on New Year's Day, it was
posted a few days later because of some technical difficulty.
This is the reason why I inserted my PS to thank you from the
bottom of my heart.

Dear Dean Brown:

As you are aware, this Council annually awards fellowships in American studies to faculty members of foreign universities interested in undertaking advanced research for a year in this country. The Council also arranges Visiting Scholar affiliation for the recipients with appropriate educational institutions in this country and such affiliation has been secured from time to time with the Yale Law School.

It is now my pleasure to nominate to you for such affiliation for the academic year 1971-72 Dr. Teh-Koan Liu, Associate Professor at National Cheng-Chi and National Taiwan Universities in Taipei, Republic of China.

I enclose for your information a copy of Dr. Liu's application for an ACLS fellowship with supporting letters of reference and with a copy of my notes following an interview with him last October. Dr. Liu has an adequate but not fluent command of English, and to improve his facility this Council is placing him in the English Language Institute at the University of Hawaii for intensive practice from mid-June until the end of August. He would then hope to arrive, with his wife, at Yale during the beginning of September.

Your early decision on this affiliation request would be appreciated. If Dr. Liu is acceptable, I hope you will designate the office or individual to whom he might address any inquiries regarding his affiliation, housing possibilities, etc. prior to his arrival, and that you will also designate a member of your faculty who will be willing to advise and direct him in his proposed research. As usual, this Council will be pleased to contribute $500.00 per semester to the Law School to help meet any expenses which might be incurred in receiving and assisting Dr. Liu. Personal expenses for Dr. Liu and his wife, of course, will be fully covered by his ACLS fellowship.

With renewed thanks for your past cooperation,
Sincerely yours,

Enclosure

Dear Professor Iwayama:

I was very grateful indeed to have your letter of January 8th confirming the fact that my course would be on "Romantic Poetry in English". The fact that you will primarily be using volumes of 4 and 5 of Poets of the English Language will make it much easier for me to prepare and give a more personal tone to the textbook and assignments.

I leave the arrangements for the timing of the courses to you and Professor Aoki for I know that whatever is most agreeable to you both will be entirely satisfactory to me. As you know we will be arriving at Osaka in the evening of April 1st and go directly to our apartment at Konoe Hall. I shall hope to see you soon after. I leave New Haven on February 1st but any questions you may have will be forwarded to me from my office here by my secretary. I will however later send you a copy of my final itinerary so that you will know where to get in touch with me in case of an emergency. I cannot imagine that this will happen however for everything seems to be beautifully arranged.

Dear Professor Pearson:

Thank you for your letter of December 5, 1969.

Your proposal of the course ("Romantic Poetry in English") you will teach at Doshisha University from April 1970 to Judy is very fine. At the present moment I am not sure how many students will sign up your course, but we are hoping the size of the class is to be less than 35 (including juniors, seniors, and graduates). Since the exact number of the students is not certain yet, we will arrange to prepare the textbooks (vols. 4 & 5 of *Poets of the English Language* edited by you and W. H. Auden, Viking Portable) at our side, so that you can use them in your class.

As to the time schedule of the course, I am now trying to settle it on Thursday, either morning or afternoon. (I am told from Professor Aoki that your course at Kyodai will be offered on Friday.) The first meeting of your course at Doshisha is not certain yet, but it will not be earlier than April 10, so it seems to me your arrival at Kyoto in the early April is quite ideal.

Looking forward to seeing you in Kyoto soon.

Dear Mr. Downar:

1. We appreciated the important role that had been played
by Kyoto Seminar in encouraging American Studies all over
Japan. And we tentatively concluded that the Seminar should be
continued in future years including 1971.

2. As the Seminar has been facing lots of difficulties
such as organizational and financial ones, we decided to con-
tinue our efforts for finding possible solutions that could be
recommended to the Committee for Kyoto American Studies Summer
Seminar. We hope we can accomplish this task by the end of
coming June.

Dear Professor Kaji:

Thank you very much for your letter of May 4th. You may have already left Japan by the time this letter arrives, and we can discuss the situation anyway when we meet later this month, but I thought I should write to you so that you could have my written response.

I am, naturally, very pleased that a number of you eminent Japanese specialists in American Studies are giving such serious attention to the possibility and desirability of a continuance of the annual Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar.

If a Japanese organization, such as the Association, or the Foundation, undertakes the task and the responsibility of coordinating and guiding an evaluation of the Kyoto Seminar and its possible future, and if the Association or Foundation needs financial assistance to accomplish such a task, I assure you the ACLS would give very sympathetic consideration to a request for such financial assistance. (No such request as yet has been received by the ACLS.)

If the Association requests ACLS financial assistance, and if the Association wishes to use a portion or all of the funds requested for bringing an American scholar such as Professor Jensen to Japan for consultation purposes are matters which the Association must decide. At this point it is neither possible nor appropriate for the ACLS to undertake any action in the matter.

I look forward very much to seeing you again, when we shall certainly discuss this matter at greater length.

Dear Professor Saito:

Thank you very much for your letter of April 7th. The schedule of activities you have suggested to Professor Skard appears excellent to me, as I have no doubt it will to him. He will profit greatly, I know, from meeting you and your colleagues and I hope you will derive equal pleasure and benefit from his acquaintance.

The steps which you and the Japanese Association for American Studies are taking to evaluate the past achievements of the Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar and to consider the utility and possibility of continuing the Seminar in the future appear to me to be most valuable and carefully planned.

Speaking of the Seminar, I have also just had a letter from Professor Norman Holmes Pearson. Norman's sensibilities are much more perceptive than mine, and he feels my letter of March 4th might be interpreted by you and your colleagues as strongly urging you to invite Professor Jensen to Japan. If that is the case, I wish to assure you that my primary motivation is to try to be of assistance should you have financial difficulties in evaluating the Seminar's past and in weighing the arguments for and against a possible continuance of the Seminar in the future. It naturally occurred to me that you might wish to consult with American scholars such as Professor Jensen or Professor Pearson in the course of your deliberations. A basic

policy of the ACLS American Studies Program as it has developed during the past decade has been the decision that grants under the Program should not be used in support of either American scholars or institutions. I assume that policy will continue to remain in force, and will prevent ACLS funds from being used for the expenses of American scholars going abroad to teach, whether for brief seminar appearances, or for longer appointments. I would be dismayed, however, if such a policy were to be interpreted so strictly that it would preclude your possible consideration of asking someone like Professor Jensen to come to Japan--if, and only if, you strongly desired it-- for consultation purposes toward a definite objective. Thus, my letter was intended to give you as wide a latitude as possible in considering the means by which the ACLS might be of assistance to you. The ACLS as an institution, and I as an individual, will be pleased to consider providing the Japanese Association for American Studies only such assistance as you and your colleagues believe necessary and desirable.

Dear Dick:

This is something to follow-up what Prof. Saito wrote to
you dated April 7, 1970. He has come back to Tokyo from his
trip to Kyoto where he had a little conference with Prof.
Pearson, Prof. Suga and some other people. Therefore please
accept this letter as an answer on behalf of the American
Studies Foundation

We agree with you that it will be very helpful if Prof.
Merrill Jensen will be able to come to this country in plan-
ning with us how the Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar
should be planned and conducted in future. Most particularly
we hope he will come at the time when the Kyoto Seminar will
be in session in July, so that he will be able to observe at
least a portion of the Seminar. It is also good of you to have
mentioned on the ACLS offer of a few thousand dollars to the
American Studies Foundation to organize, on behalf of the Se-
minar, a program of planning for the future.

You will be interested to learn that my name has been added
to the list of members of the Committee which, as Prof. Saito
wrote to you, had been organized within the Japanese Association
for American Studies, and Prof. Jensen assuming that he
will be able to come to this country.

With the above background information it will be great if the
ACLS will be able to underwrite Prof. Jensen's trip to Japan in
July for his stay of one week or ten days. If, as mentioned in
your letter, that grant must come from the ASF being subsidized
by you, please let us know what step should we take. In the
mean-while the ASF will be willing to spend, with the Board's
approval, let us say approximately $1,000 for the administrative
expenses involved in this project.

I am sorry, Dick, that it has taken so many days before I
write this to you, but I am happy to let you know that we are
now pretty well organized. I trust that you are now back home
after your trip to Europe, and let me express my belated thanks
to your good and thoughtful letter of March 4. With some Japa-
nese insurance people I shall spend the week-end of June 12 in
New York City when, assuming that you will have some time to
spare, I am looking forward to a little visit with you. Best

Dear Yasuo:

I am writing this letter, in longhand, from Europe, but since
my handwriting is so execrable, I am sending it to New York and asking
Ruth Craven to send you a typed copy. I am also sending the same letter
to Makoto Saito and Hakaru Itami, and a copy to Professor Norman Holmes
Pearson.

I believe the financial assistance provided by both the Japan
American Studies Foundation and by the ACLS to the annual Kyoto American
Studies Summer Seminar is currently scheduled to terminate with the 1970
session. For that reason and a number of other factors, including the
problems of regular, guaranteed American faculty participation, the future
of the Seminar must surely be in some doubt. (Parenthetically, may I say
that the future of the ACLS American Studies Program is not yet certain,
although we expect a decision within several weeks from the Ford Foundation
on our request for funds to continue the program beyond July, 1971.)

The Seminar has truly been a beacon of light for American Studies
in Japan, and lately has been having a similar effect on neighboring coun-
tries. Because of its undisputed and recognized value, its cessation would
be greatly deplored by many, including myself. Continuance, however, would
probably necessitate wide-ranging discussions and consideration of possible
sources of financial support, perhaps an administrative restructuring of the
Seminar management, etc.

In such a task of carefully planning for the future, it has occurred
to me that a small amount of outside financial assistance might be both
welcomed and needed. I am therefore asking each of you if you think it
would be appropriate, useful, and advisable for the ACLS to proffer such

The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to announce a competition for American Studies Fellowships, to be initiated in 1971 and available to scholars of Australia, the Republic of China, Japan, and New Zealand. These Fellowships are for scholars of no more than 45 years of age who are teaching at the university level, and who wish to engage in advanced research in the United States on some aspect of the history, culture, or civilization of that country. Appropriate fields include American art, history, law, or literature, and the architectural history, economy, economic history, geography, government, philosophy, politics, or society of the United States. Research on techniques or general theory of any discipline is *not* appropriate to this program.

The Fellowships are for a minimum period of nine months and may be extended to a maximum period of twenty-two months. The Fellowships provide for all expenses, including transportation, maintenance, and health insurance for the recipients and their accompanying dependents, as well as the recipients' educational and research expenses, including English language instruction where necessary.

Selection of candidates for these Fellowships will be on a competitive basis. Scholars interested in Fellowships to be initiated during the year 1971 should write as soon as possible to *The American Studies Program, American Council of Learned Societies, 345 East 46th Street, New York, N.Y. 10017, U.S.A.* The letter, which must arrive at ACLS before July 1, 1970, should contain the applicant's name, address, age, university position, a brief description of the research he wishes to undertake, and the names and addresses of three scholars who would be willing to provide letters of recommendation. If the ACLS judges the candidate to be qualified to enter the competition, formal application forms will immediately be sent to the candidate for completion and return before August 1, 1970. Announcement of awards will be made in December, 1970.

Dear Norman:

Our letters to each other last week crossed paths, and it is good to hear from you and to know that you are safely arrived in Kyoto.

You will find enclosed a copy of a letter I have written to Professor Saito. I had planned on writing to him anyway to acknowledge his recent note telling me of the JASA committee appointed to consider the past and future of the Kyoto Seminar--and, as you will see, your letter was a spur for me to write immediately and try to remove whatever thoughts they might have that I was pushing for a visit by Merrill Jensen to Japan.

Your comments on Dietrichson are most helpful--the Advisory Committee is meeting on the 24th of this month, so your letter has arrived in good time. It will be a tough meeting--the number of truly deserving new and renewal candidates considerably exceeds the funds available to us, so there inevitably will be a number of people unsuccessful for which I shall feel truly sorry.

Neville Meaney is coming in to see me later this week, which is good, since I have a number of things I wish to discuss with him. I am pleased with your initial reaction to Taiwan, and will look forward to hearing more on that from you later.

Thanks for your remarks on Jensen. I am really very grateful to you for helping to keep me on that "straight and narrow path between right and wrong."

Dear Merrill:

Thank you very much for your letter of April 13th with its enclosures, which I read with great interest and considerable enlightenment.

As you know, following our talks in Washington of our mutual concern as to the future of the Kyoto Seminar, I wrote to Makoto Saito, Yasuo Suga, and Hank Itami, and sent you a copy since the letter grew out of our talks, and because, in your key position as chairman of the American Advisory Committee for the Seminar, you should know what I was doing.

The letter, of course, was nothing more than an indication of ACLS interest and willingness to consider being of financial assistance in planning for the Seminar's future. Since my return to New York, I have had additional correspondence with all three, as well as with Norman Holmes Pearson, who, thank god, is on the scene.

The Association and the Foundation both now actively appear to be considering plans for the future of the Seminar, so the essential purpose of my letter has been achieved. In my subsequent correspondence with Yasuo et al, I have reiterated that my initiative arose from my own concern and good will, and that it was completely up to them to decide if they wished or needed to ask the ACLS for assistance, and, if so, for

Dear Norman,

There are a number of items I should report and discuss with you, so here goes.

## Kyoto Seminar

I now have some money allocated and set aside for possible use should a Japanese organization need financial assistance in considering possible continuance of the Kyoto Seminar. Obviously those funds will remain frozen until (and if) I receive a request for assistance from either the Japanese AS Association or Foundation. I have just received a letter from Motoo Kaji, a copy of which I enclose with my response. Kaji knows I am sending a copy to Makoto Saito, but not to you. As you will see, I have tried once again to say that financial assistance is available, if requested, and that the ACLS itself will not issue an invitation to Jensen, or anyone else, to go to Japan.

## New Ford Grant

McNeil Lowry tells me that he informed you and others, during his visit to Kyoto, of the Foundation's agreement to continue financial support to the ACLS American Studies Program for another five years - until July 1, 1976. We made no announcement because we had not yet received a grant letter from the Foundation. That long awaited letter finally arrived last Friday, and Ford will be making a public announcement within the near future. The specific breakdown of the grant (and please keep these details confidential) on an annual basis is:

Regular (academic year) Research Fellowships:

Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand $175,000.00
Western Europe $250,000.00
Eastern Europe (with unutilized funds transferable to Western Europe) $ 50,000.00

May 6, 1970

Page two

Short-Term Assistance (one to four month fellowships for
Senior Scholars, former fellowship recipients, and graduate
students)

Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand $ 25,000.00
Europe $ 50,000.00

Institutional Grants

Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand $ 40,000.00
Western Europe $ 65,000.00

This gives us an operating budget of $655,000.00 per year and an additional twelve per cent of that amount for administrative expenses, all of which pleases us highly. Extension of the program to areas other than Eastern Europe were not approved, at least for the present, although some interest in Korea may yet stir Lowry's breast.

I am sending to you under separate cover the agenda papers on future policy and procedures under the new Ford grant which I submitted to the ACLS Advisory Committee at its meeting on April 24th. Since those papers are nothing more than that and, even though approved by the Advisory Committee, do not yet reflect any official ACLS policy, will you please also treat them as confidential. It could become particularly embarrassing if the prospects of short-term fellowship and scholarship assistance became known in Japan before we had firmly established our own guidelines.

Eastern Europe

I had originally thought of going to Eastern Europe later this month to discuss with appropriate Ministry officials our plans of extending the fellowship opportunities under our program to scholars in those countries. I have about decided, however, that that would be unwise, since it would give the appearance that the ACLS was trying to "sell" something to the Eastern Europeans, putting us in a defensive position open to demands by Eastern European governments (the Czechs of the Poles, for example) to guarantee so many fellowships per year available only to candidates selected by those Ministries. National quotas and delegation of selection to other bodies are things we wish to avoid. Instead we shall probably announce the availability of the fellowships in the same way and on the same terms as we do in Western Europe, at least the first year, and see what happens.

I enclose a copy of the minutes of the Committee meeting on April 24th. You will see listed the new institutional grants, which reduce our available funds for Western Europe to about $5,000.00 and only a slightly larger amount for the Pacific until the autumn of next year when the new grant will become operative.

There was a larger number of applications for renewals than ever before. The two Chinese candidates were turned down, and the Japanese requests were approved until approximately the beginning of the coming academic year in Japan (as was requested by most of the candidates).

You will see from the new fellowship awards in Europe that Dietrichson and six others in literature were successful. Several of the Committee members thought the general level of qualifications of the candidates surviving the European Screening Committee was higher than in other competitions during the past several years.

## Yale University

The Committee also agreed, as you know from my note to you last week, to use funds from the European program to offer fellowships to Rosemary Sweetapple and to Tokyo Miyake (who, with the renewal to Maria de Sousa Santos, would be the three ACLS Fellows in American literature at Yale next year). I am anxious now to hear from Miyake to see whether he wishes to accept the fellowship or not, and, if so, that you will agree to guide him, as well as Miss Sweetapple, and will send a note to that effect to Yale. I am postponing nomination of either to Yale until I hear from Miyake.

I am having a bit of difficulty with Yale right now, and wish that you were both there and still on the ACLS Advisory Committee. One of this year's Fellows is a Lecturer in History at the University of Aberdeen--C. Duncan Rice. The Yale Department of History is looking for someone to appoint to the faculty to teach American Negro History and has offered appointment to Rice. For a variety of reasons he wants very much to accept, and he, Professor Lamar, and Professor Woodward are strongly urging the ACLS to agree, meaning that we should release Rice from his agreement neither to seek nor to accept employment in the U.S. for two years following termination of his fellowship, release him from his obligation to return to the U.S., and permit transfer of his visa sponsorship from the ACLS to Yale. For basic policy reasons I have resisted, and now the Advisory Committee has "directed" me to reject Yale and Rice's request. I have no idea how it all will eventually turn out.

## Skard

All continues to go well in the elaboration of Skard's plans. He has agreed to postpone his arrival in Tokyo by one day. The work that Makoto Saito, you, and the others have done to secure for him accommodations, and to arrange for his stay in Japan are magnificent--and so very much appreciated.

Skard will be here in the U.S. very briefly on his return trip to Oslo. Fred Burkhardt will host a luncheon for him, which we very much hope you will be free to attend, on Tuesday, September 29th. It will be informal, with only a few guests such as yourself, Bob Spiller, Hennig Cohen, Arthur Link, Henry Wasser, and a couple of others, and with Skard recounting his experiences on his trip. Please put it on your calendar--and we shall let you know in September the place and time. The date, though, is fixed. I myself shall not be there, for I will have already left for the Far East, but Skard and I shall meet in Auckland (my first stop and his last) on the 17th and 18th of September.

I am pleased to tell you that we have organized a special

and myself. Representing the Japanese Association for American
Studies Mr. Kaji has been elected Chairman; Messrs Suga and
Taguchi represent Kyoto Seminar and myself, Fulbright Commission
and American Studies Foundation. We have decided to make a
plan, if a temporal one, for the future of Kyoto Seminar, in
the quite near future. As for your kind offer we have certainly
appreciated it. However, the final decision will be made by
the American Studies Foundation within a week. In the mean-
time we have asked Professor Pearson his personal opinion in
regard with your offer, including inviting Professor Jensen.
We will write you soon about our final decision.

Dear Norman,

I hope this finds you comfortably settled after your exhausting, but presumably rewarding tour of Southeast Asia.

You will find enclosed the copy of a letter I have sent to Makoto Saito, Hank Itami, and Yasuo Suga--and along the lines of my telephone conversation with you shortly before you headed out over the Pacific and I over the Atlantic. I have now been back in New York two weeks, but held off sending the copy to you until you had arrived in Japan and until the ACLS had heard from Ford about the continuation of our American Studies Program. Ford has been extraordinarily slow, but last week informed us that the new grant had been approved so that we could go ahead and mail the 1971-72 competition announcements to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan--all of which went out, by airmail because of the lateness, this past weekend. Public announcement by Ford of the new grant--and the actual grant letter to the ACLS--are still forthcoming. Until then, of course, we shall make no announcement ourselves.

I have had no response as yet from Suga et al., but assume that they are waiting until they have had a chance to talk over my suggestions with you and to present the idea to the Foundation. As you know, my suggestions have no motivation other than interest in, and good will toward the future of the Kyoto Seminar. I would in no way be disappointed if my suggestions evoked only negative responses. As long as Japanese scholars involved in the Seminar are aware of ACLS readiness to consider possible means of assistance, and are themselves trying to work out long-term plans for the future of the Seminar, my objective will have been attained.

Our Advisory Committee will meet on April 24th. In addition to considering the European candidates for next year, plus the candidates applying

for renewal of their fellowships, the Committee will also consider general guidelines for the ACLS program for the next five years under the new Ford grant. I will send you, after that meeting, copies of the agenda papers, and Committee decisions, on those guidelines so that you will know the directions in which we shall be heading. (At the same meeting, unless I hear something from Japan in the meantime making it unnecessary, I shall ask the Committee to reserve some money from our present grant--which is almost exhausted--for possible financial assistance in planning the future of the Kyoto Seminar. This is necessary, since no money from the new Ford grant will be available until the autumn of 1971.)

My trip to Europe this year was a very good one, but, partially in consequence, a very tiring one. I visited Mike Weaver at Exeter and was very impressed with the results he has already obtained, operating on a shoe-string, in his American Arts and Literature courses and activities. Harry Allen has just resigned his positions as Commonwealth Professor of American History at University College and as Director of the Institute of United States Studies of London University to accept a new Professorship in American Studies which Frank Thistlethwaite has offered him at East Anglia. Had long talks with den Hollander in Amsterdam, who has taken over from Asselineau as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the European Association. The Association is having a conference in Brussels this autumn, and den Hollander is devoting a great deal of time, energy, and thought to the Association. He is full of plans and ideas--all healthily realistic.

I also spent some time at Cologne with Angermann, Bonheim, and their students, (Bonheim will teach at Buffalo this summer) then went on to Oslo, where Sigmund Skard and I had long talks about his forthcoming trip. He had just heard from Saito, and is becoming very enthusiastic about his travels. Details for his visits to Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan are now rather fully worked out. He will arrive in Tokyo from India on July 12th, leaving his scheduling during that week, in the Tokyo area, up to Saito (as advised by you), the two weeks beginning the 19th for the Kansai area, including the Seminar, with planning left in your hands, and the week beginning August 2nd for "other areas of Japan" as you and the people he meets at the Seminar might advise. On August 9th, he will head on for Taipei, and arrive in Melbourne, for the ANZASA conference, on August 13th. His last stop in the Antipodes will be Auckland, where he and I will meet for dinner on September 17th. He will be in the New York area during the last week of September, and will have lunch and spend the afternoon of the 28th or 29th with Fred Burkhardt and some past and present members of our Advisory Committee (hopefully including you) discussing his trip. (Auckland will be my first stop on my fall trip to the Far East--I shall be in Japan from mid-October through early November.)

After leaving Oslo, my own peregrinations took me to Copenhagen, Zurich, St. Gall, Florence, Rome, Madrid, and Paris. Among the fellowship candidates in

the group to be considered on the 24th of this month are two you undoubtedly know, Guy Forgue from the Sorbonne, and Sergio Perosa from Venice.

Our first Japanese 1970-71 Fellow arrived this morning--Takao Kitamura, American Literature, Chuo and Aoyama Gakuin Universities, working on Negro literature. He began early because of the academic year in Japan, and to get in a full nine months of research before he takes on a Visiting Professorship in Black Studies at Carleton College from January to March, 1971.

Hopefully things--at least superficially--have settled down a bit in Kyoto since I was there last autumn, and you are able to function fully. Give my regards to Suga, Taguchi, Imazu, Cary and the rest--and let me know what's cooking.

Cordially yours,

Dear Norman:

Enclosed is the only item of interest. Meanwhile I have had several letters from Japan about the future of the seminar, but the writers all insist they remain confidential. The purport of them is that they want to keep the seminar going although they recognize that some new arrangements may be necessary.

Just today I have received a copy of a letter from James Crane at the Embassy to Otis Cary listing three Fulbrighters who might be used at the seminar. Cary sent me a copy and asked me to cable if any of them were considered satisfactory. I think that the Kyoto committee itself should make the decision, but I will suggest to Cary to consult with you since you are on the ground.

We are in the middle of the third week of a teaching assistantship strike so I haven't much time to think about anything else.

assistance. I am thinking, for example, of an ACLS grant offer of something
like three to five thousand dollars to the Japan American Studies Foundation
to organize, on behalf of the Seminar, such a program of planning for the
future, using the funds for administrative expenses involved, including--if
thought desirable--bringing Professor Merrill Jensen on a brief visit to
Japan to assist and participate in such planning.

Let me emphasize that this suggestion is purely a personal one on
my account, motivated by the deep interest which I have in the Seminar, and
my unbounded confidence in each of you. If you think the suggestion of in-
terest, or if you have any other ideas of how limited financial assistance
from the ACLS might be helpful at this particular time, I would be happy to
present the case to the ACLS Board of Directors. And, with plans for the
future in hand (and with the Ford Foundation willing), I would hope the ACLS
would be able to join with other organizations in insuring a continuance of
the Kyoto Seminar beyond 1970. Also, of course, if you think any ACLS action
at this time would be useless or fruitless, please say so.

Looking forward to receiving your thoughts on this matter, and with
my warm personal best wishes,

Dear Hank:

Thank you very much for your letter of April 14th. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I wrote to Professor Saito last week. As you will note from that letter, I would like to see this Council offer assistance to an evaluation in Japan of the past and of the possible future of the Kyoto Seminar _if such assistance is wanted and needed._

If an ACLS grant were deemed desirable by you and your colleagues, I would be happy to present such a request to this Council. It would be immaterial to the ACLS, I think, whether the request for such assistance came from either the Japanese Association for American Studies, or from the American Studies Foundation, but I do not think the Council, at this time, would find it financially possible to make a grant for more than $5,000.00. So, _if_ ACLS financial help is needed, a brief letter to me from an appropriate official (executive director, secretary, or president) of whichever of the two organizations wished to sponsor the evaluation, would be sufficient. The letter should specify the estimated amount of funds needed, the general purposes for which the money would be spent, and the name of the organization or individual to whom the formal grant, and grant payment, should be made. My original letter of March 4th to you, Professor Saito and Professor Suga, was only an expression of my personal interest and good will.

It is good to know that you will be in New York on the weekend of June 12th. Please give me a ring, and let us try to get together if you have

Mr. Stanley T. Gordon
Program Officer, International Relations
International Division
The Ford Foundation
320 East 43rd Street
New York, New York 10017

Dear Mr. Gordon:

This letter forms an annual report from the American Council of
Learned Societies to the Ford Foundation on activities of the ACLS American
Studies Program, made possible by Ford Foundation support. Since the report
may be reviewed by some of your colleagues who have not followed the Program as
closely as you, I have gone into somewhat greater detail than might normally be
considered desirable.

The period covered by this report - the twelve months ending
July 1, 1968 - represents the seventh year of the Program initiated by the
Foundation grant of December 1960, and extended by the Foundation grant of
December 1964. Prior to the academic year 1966-67, the Program was restricted
to "Western" or "Free" Europe, and took the form of encouraging the inauguration
or expansion of American Studies at the university level through grants to
educational institutions for activities such as the establishment of teaching
posts or library expansion in appropriate fields of study, and through the
provision of fellowships for advanced research in the United States to junior
European university faculty members specializing in some aspect of American
history or civilization. Throughout the life of the program the ACLS has inter-
preted the phrase "American Studies" rather broadly - certainly not restricting
it to an interdisciplinary approach - and has thus supported activities in, for
example, American geography, American labor history, or American art, as well as
interdisciplinary programs in American Studies abroad.

With the academic year 1966-67, grants were also made available
to institutions in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, with fellowships also
awarded to Japanese scholars (and, through funds supplied by the Carnegie
Corporation of New York, to scholars from Australia and New Zealand). With the
approval of the Foundation, the fellowship aspect of the program was further
extended to include the Republic of China during the period under review.
Similar fellowships, awarded to scholars from Australia and New Zealand, will be
initiated with the academic year 1969-70, when Carnegie Corporation support will
no longer be available.

- 2 -

Operating under the supervision of the ACLS Board of Directors, the American Studies Program is administered by the ACLS American Studies Advisory Committee. That Committee during the period under review was composed of the following:

Marver H. Bernstein, Dean, Woodrow Wilson School of International and Public Affairs, Princeton University

*Robert H. Ferrell, Professor of American History, Indiana University

*John D. Goheen, Professor of Philosophy, Stanford University

*Arthur T. Von Mehren, Professor of Comparative Law, Harvard University

*Bell I. Wiley, Professor of American History, Emory University

For the twelve-month period beginning July 1, 1968, Committee members identified by an asterisk are retiring, and are being replaced by the following scholars:

Daily administration of the Program is handled by the undersigned, assisted by Miss Ruth Craven.

## FELLOWSHIPS

### Europe

The fellowship competition in Europe is opened in September of each year by sending an announcement (Attachment A) to some three thousand professors and administrators of the approximately two hundred universities in the nineteen countries of Western Europe. The deadline for entry in the competition is December 1st, with completed application forms and letters of reference secured during the following six weeks.

The competition for 1968-69 closed on December 1, 1967, and for the first time in the program's history, there was a drop in the number of qualified candidates. The size of the drop was startling - about 40% - and was particularly noticeable in Scandinavia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. This would seem to be, at least in part, a consequence of 1967's troubled summer in the United States, and the peaking of antipathy toward the U.S. caused by the war in Viet Nam. Many prospective candidates, particularly those with children, looking at what appeared to be a strife-ridden, confused, and increasingly violent America, seem to have decided to postpone their hopes of going to the

- 3 -

United States for a while. This interpretation is based on specific, known cases, and upon conversations with a number of senior European scholars. (There are already indications that this decline may be reversed in the competition for 1969-70 fellowships, due to be opened shortly.)

Despite the drop in number, approximately sixty well-qualified candidates entered the competition. Following normal procedure, their applications and letters of reference were submitted to a Screening Committee of European scholars who met in February 1968, in London, to review the applications. That Committee was composed of:

Pierre de Bie, Professor of Sociology, University of Louvain

Antonio La Pergola, Director, Institute of Anglo-American Studies, Faculty of Law, University of Padova

Karl Lenz, Professor of American Geography, John F. Kennedy Institute, Free University of Berlin

Bernard J. Poli, Professor of American Literature, University of Paris

James Potter, Reader in Economic History with Special Reference to the U.S.A., London School of Economics and Political Science

J.W. Schulte Nordholt, Professor of American History and Civilization, University of Leiden

Erwin Stürzl, Professor of English and American Literature, University of Salzburg

The Committee ranked twenty-six of the candidates as worthy of selection for ACLS fellowships. Each of those twenty-six I then interviewed personally during the month of March. In April the ACLS Advisory Committee selected from that group fifteen to whom fellowships for 1968-69 were awarded. One of the fifteen, a Greek scholar specializing in American government, has subsequently declined his award due to his inability to leave Greece at the present time. Attachment B lists, therefore, fourteen new Fellows from Europe, plus three others; Peter W. Hüllemann, Josef Jarab, and J.R. Pole. Dr. Hüllemann, Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Göttingen, Germany, was awarded a fellowship for 1967-68, and was reported in my letter to you last summer. Sudden, serious illness of his wife prevented him from coming to the United States as planned, and a postponement of the initiation of his fellowship until September 1968 was granted. Dr. Josef Jarab, Lecturer in American and English Literature at the P.J. Safarik University in Presov, Czechoslovakia, has just been awarded an ACLS American Studies Fellowship for 1968-69, with the consent of the Foundation, as a special exception to the general restriction of the ACLS program to the nations of Western Europe.

Occasionally the ACLS invites a senior scholar, known for his activities in American Studies, and who has not been to the United States for at least five years, to visit this country as guest of the ACLS for two or three months to renew his acquaintance with American universities and scholars. Such an invitation for January and February 1969 has been issued to Dr. Pole, Reader in American History and Government at Cambridge University, England.

Appendix B to last year's report listed twenty-four European scholars (plus Dr. Hüllemann), selected to come to the United States for the

- 4 -

academic year 1967-68, who are now completing the last few weeks of their stay in this country. They came from ten different European countries, represented nine fields of study, and were affiliated with nineteen different educational institutions in the United States. This diversity of national origin, discipline, and U.S. affiliation within the limitations imposed by the program itself is a source of gratification to the Council. The twenty-four Fellows (plus the three whose 1966-67 Fellowships were renewed) had their affiliations, "Visiting Scholar" status, and faculty advisors and sponsors arranged by the ACLS. Experience of previous years has been repeated - most universities and Faculty Sponsors have given the foreign scholars a cordial and helpful reception. A number of American scholars have been overwhelmingly generous with their time and efforts in assisting the Fellows assigned to them for guidance. Some others, unfortunately, prove to be singularly uncooperative, and are not asked again. Similarly, most universities accord the visiting scholars appropriate reception and facilities. Some, such as the University of Virginia and Yale University, are unstintingly praised by the Fellows, but it should also be reported that a few universities appear to be ill-equipped for, or uninterested in, the special needs and requirements of a foreign visitor. Needless to say, the Council tries to avoid repeating unsatisfactory affiliations with such universities.

Affiliation within the area of Washington, D.C., continues to present a problem. Each year the research projects of some Fellows require prolonged residence in Washington, but no generally satisfactory institution for affiliation has yet developed. Last year the ACLS, as an experiment, affiliated one of its Fellows with the Smithsonian Institution, but with little success. This year a Fellow is being affiliated directly with the National Archives. Although it is too soon to tell, this may prove to be the most useful affiliation for historians, but does not solve the problem for scholars in other fields, such as law and government. The ACLS experience in Washington serves to highlight the true need for some such institution as the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars now under consideration.

At its April 1968 meeting, the Advisory Committee also approved fellowship renewals for a second year for four of the 1967-68 Fellows. One of those selected, Mr. F. Javier Coy, an Assistant Professor of American Literature at the University of Madrid, has now declined his renewal and will return to Spain within the next several weeks. His immediate return is due to his appointment as Professor of American Literature at the University of Salamanca - an appointment in part due to the recognition brought to him by his ACLS fellowship. The other three renewals are listed in Attachment C. All Fellows holding 1967-68 fellowships were in contact with the ACLS throughout the year, in addition to submitting the required and detailed "Mid-Year Report". Thus I can say with reasonable confidence that the 1967-68 Fellows merited their selection and largely accomplished the objectives for which they came to the United States.

As you know, the ACLS requests a "Final Report and Evaluation" from Fellows one year after their departure from the United States, and by a variety of means maintains some contact with most of the former Fellows. Turning to those returned scholars - Fellows who terminated their fellowship prior to August 1967 - I could recount the articles, monographs, and books published during the past year out of material gathered in the U.S. during

- 5 -

fellowship tenure, and note appointments or promotions attributable at least in part to their fellowships. Possibly of more interest to you, however, might be some cumulative or general statistics. Since the program began, 126 European scholars have completed tenure of ACLS American Studies Fellowships. Of those 126, one (a German sociologist) married a Columbia University professor and resides in the United States, and another (a Swedish sociologist) has accepted a permanent teaching position in a Canadian university. All others are pursuing their careers in Europe, and of those 124, only two are no longer teaching (a Swedish historian joined the foreign service, and a German in literature is with the Goethe Institute in Munich). This, I suggest, is a good record of achievement in selecting intelligent young people committed not only to academic careers, but committed to their own national universities despite frequent and attractive appointment offers from American universities. As a direct result of the Ford/ACLS program, dedicated and capable young scholars are teaching about the United States in a number of the major universities of Western Europe. Such scholars, however, are still in distressingly short supply, as can be quickly learned from any university administrator in Europe - including the United Kingdom, Germany, or France - trying to fill a new or vacant post in American history, American literature, or American government.

Average length of stay and costs per Fellow were given in last year's report. Those costs are inevitably increasing. Five years ago, the maintenance cost for a single Fellow ranged from $350 to $450 per month, and now ranges from $400 to $500, and maintenance for accompanying dependents is being raised from $75 to $100 per month. Until now, Fellows were given the choice of air or sea transportation. The steadily increasing cost of the latter has led the Council, this summer, to insist upon air transportation despite the baggage problems involved. Those average costs reported last year will also prove inaccurate with respect to Fellows from the Pacific, due to the greater expense for transportation and the need of Japanese and Chinese scholars for longer periods of stay, particularly in view of their linguistic handicaps.

To conclude this discussion of the European Fellowship Program - its value and its importance appear incontestable. Individual European scholars, as well as professional organizations such as the British, German, and Scandinavian American Studies Associations, unhesitatingly identify it as the single, most important contribution to American Studies in Europe during the last decade, and are at a loss to imagine past or expected developments had the program not been initiated or were it to be abandoned. Also not to be ignored is the value of these research fellowships within the American academic community, as evidenced by the publication in the United States, as well as in Europe, of the scholarly books and articles resulting from these fellowships.

## Pacific

ACLS American Studies Fellowships for Japan began with the academic year 1966-67, when nine Japanese scholars were brought to the United States. Three of those Fellows returned to Japan in September 1967, and their "Final Reports" are expected shortly. The other six remained in the U.S., under ACLS sponsorship, for a second year and are now completing their stay in this country. They, and the nine new Japanese scholars receiving 1967-68 fellowships, were listed in Appendix B of my report to you last year. These eighteen

- 6 -

Japanese scholars, fifteen of whom are still here, have been exceptionally active in attending the meetings and congresses of professional societies, have lived up to their reputation as industrious workers, and have been the source of singularly few administrative burdens. Their general reception in American universities has been good, and where they have had no language handicap, or have overcome it, their scholarly worth has been quickly recognized, bringing forth such statements as that of Professor C. Vann Woodward of Yale University, describing Mr. Susumu Miura as the most promising Japanese scholar he had encountered in over a decade. One thing in particular which seems to characterize the Japanese is their voluminous publication record, and the products of ACLS fellowships are already rolling off the Japanese presses.

The competition for 1968-69 ACLS fellowships was announced in Japan in the spring of 1967. Qualified applications from a commendable spread of Japanese universities were received from 71 candidates (15 in economics, 15 in history and government, 9 in law, 26 in literature, 4 in philosophy, and 2 in sociology). Initial screening was undertaken by:

Shichiro Matsui, Professor of Economics, Doshisha University

Makoto Saito, Hepburn Professor of the History of American Politics and Diplomacy, Tokyo University

Sanji Suenobu, Professor of Law, Rikkyo University

Kenzaburo Ohashi, Associate Professor of American Literature, Tokyo University

Morris Zelditch, Professor of Sociology, Stanford University

During late September and early October, I interviewed personally each of the forty-two candidates recommended by the Screening Consultants as worthy of serious consideration. In December, the applications were reviewed by the ACLS American Studies Advisory Committee, and fellowships were awarded to eight, as listed in Attachment D. Two of the Fellows, Professor Kobayashi and Professor Saruya, are currently taking intensive English language instruction at the University of Hawaii, and, with the other six, will initiate their research in September.

Two features of this group of Fellows need not necessarily become standard: the absence of junior people at the instructorship level, which a careful review of program objectives with the Screening Consultants and Advisory Committee members may modify; and the affiliation of one-half of the new Fellows with Yale University due to the great prestige enjoyed by Yale in Japan (influencing the candidates' choices), and the exemplary reception accorded foreign scholars by Yale (influencing the Council's deliberations). Subsequent to its December meeting, the Advisory Committee, in April 1968, approved fellowship extension for a second year to the four 1967-68 Fellows listed in Attachment E. In summary, then, initial experiences with Japan have been highly satisfactory, and a source of considerable pleasure to the Council.

The spring of 1967 also saw the initiation of the ACLS fellowship program in the Republic of China, when announcement of the availability of fellowships for the academic year 1968-69 was made. Sixteen qualified candidates applied, all of whom I interviewed during the month of October. These candidates (2 in economics; 4 in history; 3 in government; 4 in literature; and 3 in

- 7 -

philosophy) were considered in December by the ACLS Advisory Committee, and in direct competition with the Japanese candidates. One Chinese scholar, as listed in Attachment F, was selected for a 1968-69 fellowship. As an interim measure during 1967-68, and at the request of ACLS Screening Consultants in Taiwan, maintenance and tuition support was given to three young Chinese enrolled as doctoral candidates in American History at Michigan State University. That support terminated on July 1, 1968. ACLS fellowship experience in Taiwan is thus at a very early stage. Interested candidates certainly exist (22 have applied in the 1969-70 competition now under way), although a problem is presented by the rather large proportion wishing to enroll in American universities as doctoral candidates - involving three to five years' stay in the United States, and possibly culminating in an attempt to establish permanent residence here. The Council is therefore being particularly cautious in its screening of Chinese candidates.

ACLS American Studies Fellowships in Australia and New Zealand have been financed for three years, through 1968-69, by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The 1969-70 competition now under way in those countries is the first for Ford Foundation financed fellowships, with twenty-seven candidates under consideration. Those candidates, along with the candidates from Japan and the Republic of China, will be considered (with no quota by nationality in operation) in December 1968. The general announcement for that competition is enclosed as Attachment G, and the specific description of the entire fellowship program, which is sent to each candidate, with grateful acknowledgment of Ford Foundation support, is enclosed as Attachment H.

## INSTITUTIONAL GRANTS

During the past twelve months the ACLS has made the following grants to educational institutions in Europe and the Western Pacific.

A grant of $3,000.00 to the *Didsbury College of Education, England*, for an expansion of library holdings and teaching materials pertinent to American Studies. This is one of the first grants to a teacher training institution and is in the nature of an experiment. Didsbury was chosen because it has a full-fledged Department of American Studies, and because an increasing number of graduates, with majors in American Studies from the University of Manchester and elsewhere, are going to Didsbury for one or two years of post-graduate teacher training before going on to the secondary schools. The grant will help Didsbury to acquaint those trainees with recent materials appropriate to the teaching of American Studies at the secondary school level.

A grant of $10,000.00 to the *University of Essex, England*, for library expansion in the fields of the art and architecture of the United States. American art and architecture is one of the last American Studies fields to be introduced in foreign universities, and Essex, with its unusual curricula orientation toward comparative cultures, is a pioneer university in Europe to devote its attention to American art.

A grant of $5,000.00 for the *Florence, Italy*, activities of the

- 8 -

**Rome Center for American Studies** to complete the compilation of a Union Catalogue of the American Studies holdings in the major libraries in Florence. An initial grant of $10,000.00 for this purpose was awarded on April 21, 1965. Work was seriously delayed by the subsequent flooding of the Arno River, resulting in exhaustion of funds before completion of the project.

A grant of $8,650.00 per year for three years to the **University of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany**, toward the costs of establishing a Chair in Political Science with Special Reference to the U.S.A., plus a matching grant of $5,000.00 for the purchase of library holdings pertinent to the Chair, was made in response to a request from the University. Since, as is normal with such ACLS grants, the Council requested assurance from the University that the Chair would be continued under the University's own budget upon expiration of the ACLS grant, the University had to submit the grant offer to the **Land** ministry of Baden-Württemburg for approval. That approval has been withheld, since the ministry, in consideration of its "present financial difficulties," felt itself unable to approve in advance any budget increase for new posts at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau. The grant offer has therefore been canceled.

A grant of $17,500.00 to the **Institute of United States Studies, University of London, England**, as a contribution toward the expenses in compiling a Union Catalogue of American Studies holdings in the major libraries of the United Kingdom. Many scholars have felt for some time that the compilation of such a Union Catalogue was a project of major importance to the future development of American Studies in Britain. The Institute was thought to be an ideal organization to undertake such an endeavor. Considerable time and effort have been devoted to planning, with final details worked out by Dr. Stephen A. McCarthy, Executive Director of the (U.S.) Association of Research Libraries, during a six-month period in 1967 when he was in England for that purpose under the Fulbright Program.

A matching grant of $25,000.00 to the **University of Melbourne, Australia**, for an expansion of its library holdings in American Studies. With the creation of two new universities in the Melbourne area, the University of Melbourne is expected to concentrate upon graduate work. On the basis of the University's long-standing eminence in the field of American history, American Studies in other fields are receiving increased attention. An extensive survey of American Studies library holdings in the major libraries of the Melbourne area has been completed, and expansion of the University's holdings, under the $25,000.00 matching grant, will be made in the light of that survey, with due attention being given to the holdings of the National Library in Canberra, where a similar survey has been completed. Needless duplication will thus be avoided, and maximum use will be made of the money to provide the materials necessary for graduate study of the United States.

A grant of $6,000.00 per year for three years to the **University of Oslo, Norway**, toward the costs of establishing a Lectureship in American Literature. The American Institute of the University of Oslo, under the direction of Professor Sigmund Skard, is widely recognized as the outstanding department of American literature in Scandinavia. The Institute, with its steadily growing number of students, has been severely handicapped in recent years by a shortage

- 9 -

of teaching posts. temporarily overcome through the presence each year of an American professor under the Fulbright Program. Dependence upon such assistance is becoming increasingly precarious, while qualified young Norwegian scholars have risen, making such dependence no longer necessary. The University believed itself financially unable to establish the new post at this time, but is prepared to do so after three years of initial support by the ACLS.

A matching grant of $10,000.00 to the *American Library in Paris*, Inc., *France*, for an expansion of library holdings in *American Studies*. This well known library, established soon after the First World War, and situated on the Left Bank in Paris, has recently undertaken the support and administration of smaller libraries in four provincial universities, Grenoble, Nantes, Toulouse, and Montpellier. The main library, itself, is increasingly used as the major resource for students majoring in American literature at the Sorbonne, and the Library's request for assistance was strongly and emphatically supported by the professors of American literature at the Sorbonne. Finally, the Library's inter-library loan activities are extensive and are used by universities throughout Europe. It has what is reputed to be the finest collection of American periodicals in Europe, but its other holdings in American literature are weaker, with serious gaps. ACLS assistance was therefore judged appropriate.

A matching grant of $8,000.00 to the *University of Rome, Italy*, for library expansion in the field of American literature. The Chair of English Language and Literature within the Faculty of Arts of the University of Rome was long held by recently retired Professor Mario Praz. Because of Professor Praz's primary interest in English, as opposed to American, literature, the library holdings in the latter field were noticeably neglected. Upon his retirement, his Chair and a newly established one in the same field, were each filled by Italian scholars primarily known for their work in American literature, with an attendant notable increase in graduate theses and course instruction devoted to that subject. The resulting bibliographical requirements will largely be met by the ACLS matching grant, with University purchases made only after due consideration is given to holdings at the Nelson Gay Library at the Palazzo Antichi Mattei in Rome to avoid duplication of narrowly specialized research materials.

This concludes the institutional grants made by the Council during the past twelve months. As is normal, a much larger number of requests for assistance failed to receive ACLS support. By the terms of the Ford Foundation grant of 1964, $350,000.00 were made available for institutional grants in Europe, and a similar amount in the Pacific. There remain uncommitted, therefore, $89,496.22 for future European grants, and $53,748.00 for grants in the Pacific.

I reported to you last year that, as of the date of the report's submission, only one ACLS institutional grant which had then terminated had been unsuccessful. That exception was Uppsala University, where a five-year ACLS grant in support of a Chair in American Literature had not been continued due to Swedish governmental decision not to include the post in the University's budget. The University request that the ACLS continue the grant for "another year or two" was rejected, and during succeeding months a number of protests by scholars and organizations were lodged with the Swedish government over its action. This past spring the Uppsala University budget for 1968-69 was approved with full provision

for the Chair in American Literature. Thus, the Chair suffered a hiatus of but one year, and the ACLS record of success with its institutional grants remains unblemished.

For a few months last year the situation at Cambridge University gave cause for concern. The ACLS five-year financing of the Readership in American History and Government was due to terminate with the academic year 1967-68, and it appeared possible that Cambridge would replace Uppsala as the Council's un successful grant. Eventually, however, Cambridge did decide to continue the Readership, but with a firm commitment for only five years, so we are not yet entirely out of the woods.

It is hoped that these illustrations and comments will help the Foundation understand more clearly some of the procedures and reasoning of the Council in administering its American Studies Program. A number of the major universities of Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand have now received direct financial assistance, and American Studies activities in those countries have, as a direct consequence, deepened and expanded. There are still places and fields of study in need of encouragement, and many more where financial stringencies are the only obstacle to important additional progress, but a notable dent is unquestionably being made in the resistance to the introduction of appropriate attention to the history and civilization of the United States in the universities of those countries.

## CONCLUSION

The following statements are offered as a summary and conclusion to this report.

There is little I can add to the comments on finance and administration contained in last year's report. A copy of the financial report from the ACLS Comptroller to the Ford Foundation for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1968, is enclosed as Attachment I.

The initial paragraph of each letter awarding an institutional grant or a fellowship, and each fellowship payment throughout the year, clearly identifies the Ford Foundation's role in the ACLS American Studies Program.

That Program continues to identify "American Studies" as those focussed upon any aspect of the history or civilization of the United States. It does not include studies of theory or technique in international disciplines such as "economics" or "linguistics" or "sociology", even though these studies may have been pioneered or extensively developed in the United States.

The number of fellowship applications from a majority of countries in which the Program is in operation dropped noticeably during the period from September 1967 to April 1968. There is some evidence that this decline was due in part to concern over U.S. involvement in Viet Nam, and to fears of domestic unrest in this country, highlighted by events of the summer of 1967. A reversal of this decline is expected in the competitions this coming winter and spring.

- 11 -

With the action of the University of Uppsala, noted in the body of
this report, the record in institutional grants for the establishment of new
teaching posts under the Program is completely successful.

The gradual shift in emphasis within the fellowship program from
Western Europe to the Far East continues, with approximately the same number of
fellowships expected to be awarded in each area during 1968 and 1969.

The only "concrete evidence" of effectiveness in the fellowship
program which can be shown to the Foundation is the number of scholarly articles,
monographs, and books resulting directly from the fellowships. When one adds to
that the real, although unmeasurable effect of the fellowships in securing for the
recipients promotions and other types of career advancement, combined with a deeper
commitment of the recipients to professional specialization in American Studies,
the value of the program and the achievement of its objectives appear certain.

American support and encouragement of American Studies in foreign
educational systems can understandably be viewed abroad with some skepticism and
mistrust. Ford Foundation support and ACLS activities have been undertaken in such
a way as to drastically reduce, if not completely dispel, suspicion or misunderstand-
ing of Ford/ACLS objectives. This, I am convinced, is the keystone to such
-esteem and support as the Program enjoys abroad. It also helps to explain the in-
creasing expression of hope originating in such countries as India, Czechoslovakia,
Korea, Yugoslavia, and the Philippines, for the eventual extension of such a
Program to those countries.

If I have neglected to describe or comment upon some aspects of the
Program in which officials at the Foundation might have a particular interest, I
hope that you and your colleagues will ask about them. In conclusion, I should
like to repeat the final paragraph of last year's report:

The ACLS, and the many foreign institutions and scholars benefitting
from this Program, remain warmly appreciative to the Ford Foundation for its
generous financial support. In this connection, the Council suggests that
the Foundation might consider the possibility of obtaining from "uninvolved"
individuals of both American and foreign nationality an independent evaluation
of the progress and contributions of the ACLS American Studies Program thus
far. To such individuals, as, of course, to the Foundation itself, the ACLS
is ready to supply whatever information or statistics it has available.

In the Far Eastern field, as noted last year, the project of microfilming documents concerning Japan in Western and East Asian archives is nearly complete, the only real lacuna being the Soviet Union, which despite repeated *démarches* by the Japanese and promising contacts established at the International Historical Congress in Moscow in August 1970, has failed to permit microfilming of the required material. Meanwhile, some further microfilming is proposed of diplomatic documents chiefly in Western archives of the period 1850-1870. The other Far Eastern project of the UAI, the *Pali Dictionary*, is making progress with a sixth fascicule published in 1971. At least one is due to follow regularly each year until this long term project is completed.

The most recent undertakings sponsored by the UAI are moving ahead. The *Corpus des Antiquités Pre-Colombiennes* will shortly publish its fifth volume; the *Corpus Constitutionnel*, its third fascicule. Volume II of the new edition of the *Opera Omnia* of Erasmus containing pedagogical and didactic works appeared in April, 1971, and the third volume dedicated to the *Colloquia* is already in manuscript. Assignments have been made for the next two volumes.

In the course of the session, l'Institut d'Histoire de Turquie, sponsored by Italy, Romania, Japan and Belgium, was unanimously elected a member of the UAI.

The next session of the UAI will be held in Brussels, June 11-17, 1972.

Dear Dick:

I enclose three letters of recommendation for candidates who have asked me to write for them before your trip to Japan this fall. I have put off doing this until after graduation because of the many demands made upon one at the end of the school year.

I can imagine that you are able to relax a little, or at least I hope so. This being a gala anniversary for the Kyoto Summer Seminar it is a pity that you can't flip over either for the opening ceremony or the closing one. I hope they have been able to get together a good faculty and arrange a good curriculum for this session. I am sure that they must have.

I have on one occasion in particular and indirectly on others, been asked the procedure for applying for or being given one of the senior grants for shorter visits to the States. The one in particular that I am thinking about is Professor Yukio Oura, who is with Suga one of the two most active professors of English at Kyodai. Oura was primarily a Yeats man but has now moved over into at least American poetry, listened in on my Hawthorne seminar and attended last year's summer session. He has now for two years taught a seminar for graduate students on Wallace Stevens and would like to expand. This is a good indication of how American subject matter can be gotten in to the curriculum, and it would obviously help him and the students if he had a period here to work particularly on Stevens but also on other contemporary Americans. I simply do not know how to tell him or others what steps should be taken. Perhaps I ought not to ask this of you, but you will understand my perplexity.

After spending several summers away from New Haven I am planning to be here throughout the coming one. At least I hope to be able to get a good deal done, and indeed there are still some Japanese here who can be helped during that period.

Sincerely,

NHP/wh

Nara 630, Japan

Dear Professor Shimizu:

Thank you for your letter of June 7th with its account of your visit to Korea. I was delighted that you had a chance to do this and I am sure that they all very much appreciated your coming. To have been able to combine the opening ceremonies for the Center for American Studies at Taegue, with lectures to other clubs and churches was an unusual one. I certainly enjoyed my visit last year very much and to have had the guidance of Professor Sue was a particular privilege for you. I do remember him very well indeed and hope that when you write him next you will give him my greetings.

I had a chance to have dinner with Professor John Smith before he left for England. He was to go to Japan from there, since he has been on leave of absence during this past year. He is a very fine scholar and person who actually has a degree in divinity. For that reason if you go you should find that you have much in common with him in the way of your interests and concerns. Please give him my greetings if you do go for all or a part of the session.

I have written to the American Council of Learned Societies and presume you will eventually hear from them before Mr. Downar makes his trip in the fall to Japan. I wish you all luck and hope that my letter will be of help. It would please me very much indeed if you were to come to Yale, although there are a number of American universities where you would have equal opportunities, and in any event we should hope for a visit from you during your stay if you are successful.

Sincerely,

NHP/wh

Dear Dick:

Obviously this will reach you before your return from your European trip, for Miyake tells me that you are away and he will be unable to see you before he returns to Japan in another week. Actually I too will be out of the country in England from March 16th until Easter Monday but I expect a much quieter visit only to London. I write not simply to say that I am warmly in favor of an extension for Professor Mukai, but to suggest also that if the time should come for you to need a new member of your American Studies Committee, one particularly up on Japan, I would like to suggest that you consider appointing Professor Helene Brewer of Queens College. You may know her. She taught for two years at Tsuda and knows almost everyone in Japan, having appeared at the regional meetings, given lectures around Japan otherwise, as well as having taught at the Kyoto Summer Seminar. She is immensely popular with all Japanese and understands them and the American Studies situation very well. My thought is that increasingly women are playing an important role in American Studies in Japan at least in terms of enrollment. Increasingly too of course women's education is coming to the forefront there. Since on this side also we are anxious to have a representation of women on committees and in administrative positions, the chance to have one so well qualified who is at the same time within subway distance of your office is an appealing one. At least it is to me in terms of the kind of warmth and knowledge she would bring.

Sincerely,

NHP/wh

Hiromo Shimizu was an active member of my seminar at the 1970 session of the Kyoto Summer Seminar. I was favorably impressed by him and he was popular with the other members of the group. He is, as his application will no doubt show, religiously oriented in his critical approach. But he has a sense of humor about it and is open-minded and well-read. He added measurably to the seminar discussions, and gives every indication of being, perhaps for the same reason, an excellent teacher in the classroom. He seemed to have no problem with the English language either as it is read or spoken.

His type of approach is worthy of support, for the ethical (or religious) approach is stronger in Japan than one would think. I found evidence of this in the desire to have at this year's Summer Seminar either a session based on ethical philosophy (John Smith) or religious history (Sydney Ahlstrom). Actually the enthusiasm of the local committee was stronger for the latter, which is significant only in terms of the topic.

That he did make a good general impression at the Summer Seminar is shown by the fact that Shimizu was invited to South Korea for the opening ceremony of the Center for American Studies at Yeoungnam in Taegue. In his letter to me, he writes, "The ceremony and the seminar were just for two days but, through the kind arrangements of Professor Sue, whom you may remember from the Kyoto American Seminar in 1970, I was able to speak at colleges on "The Survey of American Literature in Post-War Japan." I, as a professor from Nara Women's University, had some other opportunities to speak like at the Business Professional Women's Club, and as a Christian at churches and mission schools."

If he were to be granted a Fellowship as I hope he will, and come to Yale (as I believe he hopes), I should plan to have him work with Prof. Ahlstrom and with Prof. R. H. Chambers who teaches an American Studies seminar on "Literature and Religion in America." His affiliation would be with the Graduate School and American Studies, but there might be a seminar offered by the Divinity School which would be appropriate.

I assume, however, that there are many universities where similar opportunities would be available. My outline above is simply to suggest a model to be adapted

Dear Professor Pearson:

Thank you very much for the letter of reference that you kind-
ly wrote for me and sent to American Council of Learned Socie-
ties. Professor Nishikawa informed in his letter of April 30
that he had also sent his to New York about the same time.

I should have written a thank-you letter to you sooner, but I
was in Korea from May 6 to May 20. I was invited to the open-
ing ceremony of the Center for American Studies, Yeoungnam
University, Taegue. [The ceremony and the seminar were just
for two days but, through the kind arrangements of Professor
Sue, whom you may remember from the Kyoto American Seminar
in 1970, I was able to speak at colleges on "The Survey of
American Literature in Post-War Japan." I, as a professor
from Nara Women's University, had some other opportunities
to speak like at the Business Professional Women's Club,
and as a Christian at churches and mission schools.]

With fruitful experiences I came back to Japan on May 20.
Since then, I tried to write to you, but catching up with my
schedule prevented me from doing that until today.

Enclosed is a kind of my Korean report to you. It is just a
part of my experiences but I hope you may know how fruitful
they were.

The 20th Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar was recently announced. I would like to enjoy it this year, too. Prof. Eisinger of Purdue University will speak on "Contemporary American Fiction, 1950-1970." But, to me the philosophy section seems more interesting. Prof. John Smith of Yale University will speak on "Jonathan Edwards: "The Puritan Tradition Philosophically Interpreted" and "Pragmatism on the American Scene." I wish I could listen both sections.

Thank you again for your letter of reference. Now with the
three letters of reference, yours, Nishikawa-sensei's, and
Yamanouchi-Sensei's, already sent to American Council of
Learned Societies, I have only to fill out the application
forms. The deadline is August 1st, and until then I will do
my best in my research so that I may present application
in the best form possible.

Sincerely yours,

To the Editor:

I was almost pickpocketed on a Taegue street in Korea. When I was getting into a taxi cab with two cameras under my arm, I felt some heavy pressure on my cameras; the strap was cut clear through but the cameras were safe.

My friend who accompanied me from the airport was very sorry for me and for his country, and the taxi driver was mad enough to have run after the pickpocket, but I was neither sorry nor mad: on the contrary, I had a strange sense of relief, as if I had paid back part of the debt we Japanese owe to Korea.

It is a well-known fact among the Korean people, and I hope we realize it soon, that our Prime Minister Yoshida and their President Lee once exchanged the following volleys. "I see no tiger in Korea." "No, because Kiyomasa Kato (Samurai soldier who invaded Korea in 1592) took it all back to Japan." Kiyomasa Kato of course stands for Japan, and the tiger could mean anything: money, mountain trees, rice, labor, and so on.

My dear pickpocket could have followed President Lee's logic, and concluded that my camera might have been his and that he was well qualified to rob me of it as violently as it had been taken from his people. When I had a strange sense of relief, I am sure I subconsciously followed my pickpocket's logic or President Lee's.

I stayed in Korea for two weeks, speaking at colleges and high schools, women's meetings, enjoying fellowship with Korean scholars, and exchanging observations with Americans, one of whom, a USIS officer blamed the Korean school textbook for giving the youth prejudice against Japan and the Japanese people. He blamed it because Korea has, as he put it, only two alternatives: rapid progress with Japanese aid or slow progress without it. I won't blame the Korean textbook, neither will I call it prejudice, for even the few history books I read in Korea on Korea-Japan relations taught me how I had been ignorant about our fathers' atrocities in Korea.

Korean people never forget our atrocities. They try to keep them in memory by all means. The tallest building in Seoul is named the 'Three-One Building.' It is imposing not only as a piece of outstanding architecture but also as a Korean Pearl Harbor. The building has thirty-one stories; it was begun on March 1st, and was completed two years later on March 1st. The highway running in front of the building is also named the 'Three-One Express Way.' Korean people never forget March 1st, you see.

Then, what happened on March 1st? It is the day when in 1919 many Korean people rose against Japanese control only to be suppressed by our military forces. They suppressed them brutally with belldshed.

loo

One small village I visited on my last day in Korea is still vivid in my memory. On March 1st, 1919, twenty-nine Christians of the village, including a couple just married in the sanctuary, were burned literally to ashes with the church building itself.

Half a century after that, a group of repentant Japanese collected money and had a church built on a hill of the village, Che Am Ri. The church building is in the shape of the figure 3, and with the tall bell tower, it again reminds the villagers of March 1st. This shows that at least a handful of Japanese don't forget March 1st, either.

I met, however, some people in Korea who are willing to forget about it because they have already forgiven it in love.

Nara Women's University where I teach now accepted students from Korea between 1923 and 1941. We have forty graduates now active as the leaders of women's education in Korea. I met about half of them. The only question I put to them was: Were you discriminated against during your four years in Nara? The no-answer rejoiced me, but I was moved almost to tears when they told me that behind the no-answer there lies a Christian family in Osaka who welcomed them every weekend for four years.

It is heart moving that we, being rooted and grounded in love, are able to undo what our country has done.

Between Korea and Japan, many planes are flying day by day with merchants aboard and many ships are sailing with tourists on board, but we need many more bridges 'rooted and grounded in love (Eph. 3:17).'

Dear Mr. Kawakubo:

I was very pleased to have your letter of June 1st and to know
that there was a possibility of your coming to the States again
on an ACLS fellowship. I think I do remember you from the
meeting in Tokyo particularly because you spoke of my friend
Arlin Turner at that time. At any event I should be very
happy to have you come to Yale as a Visiting Fellow and you
can say to the Committee in your application that I shall be
willing. On the other hand I do think it is important for
your not to seem to confine your choice only to Yale, and
for this reason it might be worthwhile to put down as alternates
either Brown University where you can work under Professor
Waggoner, or the University of Chicago where Professor James
Miller teaches. Miller is one of the members of the Committee,
or at least was, and I have noticed a number of candidates have
been going to Chicago perhaps for that reason. That would not
be the only reason however for Miller is a very fine scholar
indeed. All that I mean is that even though I should be happy
to have you come to Yale, the Committee itself might think it
worthwhile for you to have experience of another university.
In this case you could certainly come here for several weeks
which would be enough time for you to go through my copies
of Hawthorne's letters.

Sincerely,

Dear Professor Pearson:

I hope you will forgive me for my boldness in writing to you without any introduction. I am teaching "American literature" and "American studies" at Reitaku University in Japan. I met you at the International Cultural Hall in Tokyo on June 27, 1970, though at that time I had no chance to speak to you personally.

Now, I have applied for American Studies Fellowships of the American Council of Learned Societies. If I can obtain the Fellowship to be initiated during the year 1972, I would like to study Nathaniel Hawthorne under your guidance at Yale University. Would you please accept me as a research fellow?

Let me introduce myself more in detail. I am now thirty-five years old. I graduated from Tokyo University in 1958, and my B. A. thesis was "Walt Whitman: A Study of his Fundamental Ideas." My supervisor was Professor Masami Nishikawa. After teaching English at Reitaku High School for five years and half, I came to the United States as a graduate student of Duke University, and studied American literature from September, 1964 to June, 1966. My M. A. thesis was "Physical Appearance in Hawthorne's Fiction." My supervisor was Professor Arlin Turner.

Since I came back from the United States in 1966, I have been working for the establishment of American Studies Program at Reitaku University. This year I am teaching a course of "American literature" (textbook: *American literature--A Representative Anthology of American Writing from Colonial Times to the Present*, ed. by Geoffrey Moore) and a course of "American Studies" (textbook: Max Lerner, *America As A Civilization*, A Clarion Book, 2 vols.) and two reading courses.

I have known you for these seven years as the distinguished editor of *The Complete Novels and Selected Tales of Nathaniel Hawthorne*, which I have been using since I wrote my master thesis. I know you have many Japanese friends and students. For example, the other day Miss Hiroko Sato told me very happily how you are genuinely friendly and warm-hearted.

KASHIWA-SHI, CHIBA-KEN
JAPAN

I visited Sterling Memorial Library and Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in August, 1965, and I was really surprised to find that they had the unparalleled collection of English and American literature. And I understand Yale University is a Mecca of Hawthorne studies. The other day Professor Turner wrote me you are editing letters by Hawthorne. If I can make research on the subject of Hawthorne under your guidance, I shall be very happy.

Professors Arlin Turner, Masami Nishikawa, and John S. Brubacher have willingly written letters of recommendation to the ACLS on my behalf. Though Professor Brubacher is not a scholar of American literature, he is an Emeritus Professor of Educational Philosophy at Yale, so perhaps you may know him. I hope you know all of them.

If I can be given an opportunity to study Hawthorne and "American studies" under your guidance, I shall be very much appreciative. When the ACLS asks you, would you please accept me as a research fellow?

I shall be looking forward to hearing from you.

With very best wishes,

Mr. Aoyagi's book arrived on Monday afternoon and I have already sent it on to the Library with a suggestion that a letter of thanks to Professor Aoyagi might be appreciated. His colleagues can be thanked at the same time. It was because of the usefulness of your list of fellowship awards that I could find out where Aoyagi taught.

I am sorry at the turn of events for Professor Katona, and only know that her own fellow countrymen advised her to do as she did. It has certainly been a disturbing period emotionally for her as well as for all of us who surrounded her and held hands and handkerchiefs. At least I am pleased that she has a job for the coming year at Charleston, although something appropriate to her status on a permanent basis may be more difficult to find.

Dear Norman:

I am sending you a book which is a translation into Japanese of William Sumner's *Folkways*. The translators are a Mr. Yamamoto, Mr. Sonoda, and Kiyotaki Aoyagi. Professor Aoyagi was an ACLS Fellow about six years ago, and is again in the United States for two months on one of our Per Diem grants. He flew in to New York last night, and leaves in the morning for Los Angeles.

Professor Aoyagi and his co-translators wish to donate a copy of their book to the Yale University Library because of Sumner's connection with Yale. Aoyagi had no means of rewrapping the book, so asked if I would send it on to Yale for him - and as usual when I find myself involved with Yale in any way, I turn to you, and would appreciate it if you passed the book on to the Library.

Professor Anna Katona was in to see me Friday. I am naturally disappointed that she has mis-used an ACLS grant, but I am even more worried about her for I fear that at a time of personal, emotional stress she has taken a decision which she later may think unwise.

Dear Mr. Yagi:

I am sorry to have delayed in replying to your letter of April 13th, but during the last fortnight or so I have been frequently out of town for meetings in New York, in Washington, and in Boston. You could hardly have a better re-introduction than through Miyoko Sasaki, although I do remember our conversation in Tokyo when I was last there. I should certainly welcome having you here to work with the materials in the Yale Library and under my particular direction. If I hesitate a little by making some possible alternative suggestions I am acting more in the way of tactics than otherwise. The sense of the tactics is that my impression has come to be that ACLS quite understandably would like to have the fellows from Japan at various universities throughout the States rather than having so many come to just a few of the older ones. If for example Mr. Downar suggested that you write Professor Walker for advice, it might be not impossible to request working under him for at least one term of your American stay. Mr. Walker is an excellent professor and a very fine person. The Committee of ACLS might also be impressed if you wish to work under Professor Marler at Temple University, in Philadelphia, so that you could both benefit from his experience and not overlap his conclusions. One third suggestion id that of applying to work for a half year under Professor Leon Howard who is now teaching in the English Department at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Professor Howard is an old friend of mine and there are few people in the States who can equal him in knowledge or the care with which he works to help his students. If you were to name one of these or perhaps two of these and then put my name as an alternative you would then be letting them spread their representatives without in any way keeping you from being at Yale for a month or so to use whatever particular resources are here.

Please understand, and Miss Sasaki knows me well enough to italicize what I am saying, that I am not suggesting you do not apply to study under me, but only that your application might be received with even more warmth if you chose a place where not so many others have been. I can only leave this to your judgement and the assurance to you that I would welcome you to a longer or shorter period.

Dear Professor Pearson:

I am taking the liberty of contacting you following Miss Miyoko Sasaki's suggestion that I write to you introducing myself and expressing my wish to study under you during the 1973-74 academic year in the event of the award of an ACLS fellowship, for which I am reapplying at the suggestion of Mr. Richard W. Downar, director, American Studies Program, ACLS. What he has specifically suggested I do in regard to my reapplication is to correspond with Professor Robert H. Walker (and eventually with Professor Robert F. Marler, English Department, Temple University, whose Ph.D. dissertation is "The American Tale and Short Story, 1850-1861," George Washington University, 1969) and to name in my application "one or two professors with whom you would like to work." I hope you would not be so surprised to learn that I immediately thought of you when this latter need arose; at the dinner party held by the American Literature Society of Japan at the International House in Tokyo last summer I talked with you on the quality of "day-dreaminess" of *The Blithedale Romance*, your remarks on *The Marble Faun* in the introduction to the Modern Library Edition of *Nathaniel Hawthorne* and the American "novel" in general; and Miss Sasaki, my alumnus and associate, happens to be one of your former and re-admitted students at Yale.

As you will see from the enclosed copies of my research plan and the list of publications as presented to the ACLS in the last application, my American studies, starting with a study of Poe which resulted in a book on him (1968; 1972) and a few collections of Poe's tales in translation, have been broadened to include an examination of Hawthorne (among others) in terms of the larger body of literature in nineteenth-century America. Hence my research into the popular journal literature of his day with a view towards having a better grasp of the author. The feasibility of this plan, when taken with an emphasis on the survey of the periodicals, may be doubtful. My aim in surveying the popular fiction of that day is to have a clearer concept of the art of Hawthorne by using contemporary theories and practices of fiction as frames of reference. With the same basic concern, and following the advice of the ACLS, I propose to focus my project on one of the following alternatives, ( or incorporate them into a broader, and therefore more feasible one):

-2-

1. An investigation into the nature of Hawthornian allegory in relation to the preceding and contemporary thought-patterns of the American people. (A survey of the Puritan documents and popular periodicals current in his day may be essential.)

2. A research into the relationship between Poe and Hawthorne. (We know, for example, that Poe wrote about Hawthorne, before Hawthorne wrote his major works, on four occasions, with an interesting difference each time. These differences in reference to their works, when we take into account uncollected marginal data, may reveal something intriguing about their literary careers and practices.)

3. A search for a possible explanation of the air of "unreality" prevailing in the works of the major mid-nineteenth century American authors. (The House of Usher falls; the House of the Seven Gables lacks solid structure; and Moby Dick swims in a metaphysical ocean. Is there any structural correspondence between the trait of unreality and the ideological complex of the day?)

I would appreciate if you would kindly give me whatever comments you care to make on the above, and I am anxious to have an opportunity to study under your guidance at Yale.

Dear Mr. Yagi:

I regret to inform you that your application for an ACLS 1972-73 American Studies Fellowship has not been approved. The competition was very severe, and the Council's funds are limited. Consequently, a number of well qualified candidates are inevitably disappointed.

The Council's fellowship selection committee was interested in you and your project. They noted, however, that a similar project has recently been brought to completion, after ten years of research, by an American scholar, and were doubtful that you could accomplish much in one short year. The Committee expressed a desire, however, to see you reapply next year with a research plan refocussed and feasible of accomplishment in a year or two. If you are interested in reapplying for an ACLS fellowship for the academic year 1973-74, I suggest that you write to Professor Robert H. Walker, American Studies Program, George Washington University, Washington, D.C. 20006, who is acquainted with your application and interests, and ask him for advice and suggestions. (Should you wish to enter the 1973-74 competition, please let me know this coming March or April.)

15. Research plans

Describe in detail the research you propose to accomplish in the U. S. For your application to be considered seriously by the ACLS, your plans must be presented clearly, concisely, and completely, reflecting serious and realistic intentions. Your plans must be in sufficient detail to enable an American university to determine whether it has the appropriate faculty and facilities to assist you, but please limit your remarks to the space provided below.

While writing on Poe and translating his works for publication, I could not help observing the power of the time (the nineteenth century) and the place (the United States of America) permeating this rather isolated author. What the nineteenth century was in relation to its major authors became my next theme, and while working on it, I have come to realize that the clues to the question are to be found most significantly in Nathaniel Hawthorne. Thus I started my research on this writer, but as I go on I find more and more materials unavailable in Japan. If I could stay at a university in the East, it would give me opportunity of examining source materials which so far been not published, and of seeing Hawthorne scholars to discuss my thesis with.

Since my Hawthorne study is centered on a better grasp of the author in the context of the nineteenth-century intellectual structure of America, it seems imperative for me to approach the materials both relevant to the author himself and the time in general. Undertaking such an exhaustive survey in so short a tenure of one academic year is obviously impossible. The field of research, therefore, will be limited to the most basic part of my concern: the influence of his reading on his work, especially of his reading in English and American periodicals of his day. Though Hawthorne was a great reader of popular fiction as established by Warren and Kesselring, the field of journal literature seems to be little explored so far. The exploration of this area will provide us with useful materials for a clearer definition of his art in relation to the theories of fiction current in his day, and will help explain the qualities in him which have often been lamented by himself and critics: love of allegory, lack of realistic details, weak characterization, romantic strain, tendency to hypersensibility and so on. Much more could be expected if my approach proves valid: a new light could be shed upon a more provocative quality which is almost inevitably called his ambiguity; Hawthorne, using traditional social history or popular theology as frame of reference, often gives the highest expression to the frightening dilemmas of human existence, and then withdraws into a rather conventional moral statement or an evasion. My working hypothesis is that Hawthorne worked within the convention to a greater degree than ordinarily supposed and that the degree with which he transcended the limitation of it would be a surer measure to evaluate him.

In addition, and necessarily involved with the project above is to visit Salem and other New England places so that I can get the sense of "the spirit of place" which brought up this great author.

Azizul HAKEEM

Mr. Hakeem has been in correspondence with me for the last several years, since his arrival in Australia and his desire to come to the States. His anxiety is under-standable, certainly for economic reasons and quite probably for social ones as well. I do not know Armidale from personal experience but daresay it is considerably less cosmopolitan than Sydney.- Like the vast majority of academic refugees from East Pakistan, especially in the humanities, Hakeem is in an unenviable and even a desperate situation. That he would benefit from an ACLS Fellowship goes without saying. That he is capable of carrying out his project is entirely probable. The question really is whether American Studies in Australia would equally benefit. It will be important for Mr. Downar in Australia, especially in his interview with Hakeem to discover how effective he has been there, or whether his chief objective is still permanently to migrate to the States. For his position would be equally difficult here, not precisely for ethnic reasons but because he is a non-American teaching American. If his recommendations locally are very good the situation might alter. Either Australia would be anxious to keep him or a small college on this side, in the States or in Canada, might in some way finance his migration. This would be admirable but refugee-help. Sympathetic as I am to his plight, ACLS cannot take him on permanently as a protégé. Yet because his plight is a real one I strongly urge that his case not be turned-down offhand.

Dear Mr. Hakeem:

I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 4th indicating your interest in entering the ACLS American Studies competition for 1974. Enclosed is a set of application forms which I ask you to complete and return to me - and I must receive them no later than August 1st. In completing the forms, please use a typewriter. Do not write on the back of any of the sheets of the application, and do not add any additional sheets, restricting yourself completely to the form and the space provided.

I am writing to Professors Pearson, Miller, and Bloomfield for letters of reference. Since it is essential that we have some evaluation from your current superiors, I am also writing to Professor Hainsworth. If there is another Australian scholar whom you also might select as a referee, please send to me by return mail his name and address.

Despite your credentials, I feel that the ACLS program possibly may not be to your interest. Recipients of the ACLS fellowships are not permitted to seek employment in the United States, nor remain in the United States after the termination of the fellowship. They also formally undertake to return to their country of origin (in your case, Australia) upon conclusion of the fellowship, and may not return to the United States for at least two years.

If these restrictions will influence you to withdraw from the competition, please so inform me.

Professor Suzuki's application for a *per diem* fellowship comes at least in part from my urging. He is quite obviously the leading Americanist in Hokkaido University and the one I sought when I went there in 1970, curious as to why we had no, or almost no applicants from there during the time I served on your committee. The senior professor of English, anti-American, at least in literature, seemed to be the answer, though a general ignorance of the availability of ACLS grants was equally basic. The situation presumably no longer exists, but there is need for the continuing development of Americanists on the island. Suzuki is too old for the fuller fellowship; he is precisely what the per diem fellowships are for. He will benefit personally, but he will encourage others to benefit.

He is, more or less, bi-lingual and did useful contact work for an American friend of mine in the period following the War. His book on Hawthorne is, I should judge, the best in Japanese, certainly the best originally written in that language. He does know Hawthorne's works very well indeed, although he would profit from reading the newer works on him. He is industrious, likeable, and able. It would be hard for me to think of a better candidate.

Dear Dick:

I am really most grateful to you for sending me the list of new ACLS American Studies Fellows. As you know I have already been in direct communication with several of those who are coming to Yale, but from time to time I have had messages from short term appointees, like Anna Katona, without being sure whether they had or had not received a grant. At least one of the graduate students also has written to ask if he could be at Yale. For that reason my interest in the Program is not only "past" but "present".

I had known of course that there was a terminal date for the present Ford Foundation grant but had forgotten precisely when this was. It is hard to judge the reaction on Ford's part although they understandably do not wish to be in a position of perpetually underwriting any activity of this sort even though there is no viable alternative. One of the appeals to them in my own IREX report was the pioneering work still to be done. It is just possible that if you were to concentrate, say, on the Irish Free State, on Middle Europe and on India (for the first time) you might be in a more favorable position than if you simply go on as before. Perhaps indeed in some areas the Program has achieved in large part what it undertook. It is always sad that success can often be judged by the process of self-liquidation. Naturally if I can help in any way please let me know. I shall be in New Haven throughout the summer.

Sincerely,

NHP/wh
