those specializing on Southeast Asia, we are proud to present the following list of all the graduate students at Cornell on whose committees he served. (Needless to say, there have been many other graduate students whom he taught or whom he advised informally, but to include all of them would burst the format of the Bulle tin.) The list has been arranged "generationally," to show more clearly the historic contours of George's leadership in shaping the scholarly tradition of the Southeast Asia Program.
