The International African Institute is organising a seminar on the Emergence of New Social Classes and the Roles of Elites in Contemporary Africa, to be held from Tuesday, July 14, to Thursday, July 23, 1964, at the University of Ibadan by courtesy of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor K. O. Dike.

This will be the second in a new series of international African seminars arranged with the aid of a grant from the Ford Foundation; it follows the completion of a first series of four seminars in the years 1959-1961. The seminars are devoted to research problems of significance for further social, economic and educational development in Africa. An important aim is to provide opportunities for research workers and other scholars holding posts in various parts of Africa to establish closer contact with each other and with their colleagues overseas, and to exchange views on problems and methods of research.
