³ A year ago the Committee on Far Eastern Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies, after affirming the crucial importance of extending undergraduate instruction in Far Eastern studies, recommended that the Council seek to obtain a considerable sum to enable the Far Eastern Association to survey existing offerings on that level. The Committee also emphasized strongly the need of publication outlets for monographs, noted that a number of good studies were awaiting publication, and recommended that the Council seek even larger funds for this purpose. Its recommendation expressly included the monograph series of the Far Eastern Association for such assistance. The Association is also engaged, on its own behalf and with some success, in efforts to obtain a sizeable revolving fund for publications. The first monograph of an anticipated series is now ready for the press. Furthermore, in conjunction with the American Council of Learned Societies, and with foundation support, the Association is aiding research and teaching by publishing indices of recent acquisitions by the National Archives, by negotiating with government departments to make newly acquired documents available, by encouraging the preparation of bibliographies and translations, by exploring the use of slides, and by inquiring into possibilities for exchanges of teachers. A committee of the Association has made a preliminary survey of needs for instructional materials. Collaboration is continuing with the American Library Association in relation to cataloging, training of librarians and other problems. And the Far Eastern Quarterly has attained distinction through its contributions, editorship and format.
