reviewed in earlier issues of this periodical.Among those to U.S.institutions,not previouslyreported,are:$12,500 to the American Council onEducation to establish a committee for educationalliaison with Africa;$4,214 to Carnegie Endowmentfor International Peace for a conference on researchin international affairs;$250,000 to Cornell Univer-sity for a five-year program of training and researchin the Andean area of South America;$55,500 inadditional support to Michigan State University'sstudy of overseas programs and relationships of Ameri-can universities(see AFN V,p.113;VII,p.50);grants of $50,000 and$12,500 to the Modern LanguageAssociation to enable it to strengthen its program andhold a conference on the implications for languagestudy of the National Defense Act of 1958;$99,475to Northwestern University for development of newcourses in world history;$3,281 to the PopulationCouncil for a seminar on African population studies;and $20,000 to Vassar College for an internationalconference on education.The sum of $47,000 wasappropriated for a study by the Corporation itself ofthe international content of undergraduate courses.  \nCarnegie Corporation's 1959 annual report features anarticle entitled\"The American University in WorldAffairs,\"by John W.Gardner,the Corporation’sPresident.He notes that the academic world hasresponded with vigor and imagination to America'sneed to recognize its responsibilities in the world andis rapidly emerging as a new source of strength inthe nation's international dealings.  \nMr.Gardner lists as the universities'assets in thisfield:production of highly trained individuals,manyof whom have been attracted to the field by theurgency of the problems involved;a substantial num-ber of great university centers for research and train-ing;and a grasp of the ways in which they canfunction effectively in international activities.Theuniversities'first responsibility is with the under-graduate,to provide him with a grasp of other culturesand the issues between nations so as to \"enlarge thatsmall segment of the population which is responsiveto international issues”and can therefore support asound foreign policy and effectively criticize a badone.And a second responsibility is to provide grad-uate education for academic specialists and thoseplanning non-academic careers in the field.Overseasexperience and facility in language are important atboth levels.  \nBritish Commonwealth grants made by the Corpora-tion during 1958-59 included:$110,000 to the Inter-University Council for Higher Education Overseasfor fellowships;and $88,000 to University College,Ibadan(Nigeria),for support over a five-year periodof a two-year library training course.A total of$187,302 was appropriated for travel,primarily toNorth America,by scholars and administrators ofCommonwealth countries(except India,Pakistan,andthe United Kingdom).  \nThe author points out that American university re-search personnel are found all over the world;anddemands are made upon universities for teaching,research,technical assistance or expert advice.Anumber of universities have received government con-tracts for overseas work,a relatively new element intheir international activities.Many offer extensionand evening classes on international subjects and holdpublic conferences on world affairs.Other manifesta-tations of university concern in international affairsare the international conference,the exchange pro-fessorship program,and the welcome extended toforeign students.  \nEarly this month the Corporation made a series ofgrants for research on the economic and politicaldevelopments of the emerging new nations:$350,000to the University of Chicago for a program of grad-uate training on problems of modernization in the  \nAMERICAN FOUNDATION NEWSThe Periodical Covering","cbCaie5WtiWMV8Lo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie5WtiWMV8Lo","pdf",1254833,16,"English","# Foundation
