SOUTHEAST ASIA FIELD TRIP FOR THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, 1970-1971 THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY SOUTHEASt ASIA PROGRAM The Southeast Asia Program was organized at Cornell University in the Department of Far Eastern Studies in 1950. It is a teaching and research program of interdisciplinary studies in the humanities, social sciences, and some natural sciences. It deals with Southeast Asia as a region, and with the individual countries of the area: Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The activities of the Program are carried on both at Cornell and in Southeast Asia. They include an undergraduate and graduate curriculum at Cornell which provides instruction by specialists in Southeast Asian cultural history and present-day affairs and offers intensive training in each of the major languages of the area. The Program sponsors group research projects on Thailand, on Indonesia, on the Philippines, and on the area's Chinese minorities. At the same time, individual staff and students of the Program have done field research in every Southeast Asian country. A list of publications relating to Southeast Asia which may be obtained on prepaid order directly from the Program is given at the end of this volume. Information on Program staff, fellowships, requirements for degrees, and current course offerings will be found in an Announaement of the DepaPtment of Asian Studies, obtainable from the Director, Southeast Asia Program, Franklin Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14850. 11 SOUTHEAST ASIA FIELD TRIP FOR THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, 1970-1971 by Cecil Hobbs Head, Southern Asia Section Library of Congress Data Paper: Number 85 Southeast Asia Program Department of Asian Studies Cornell University Ithaca, New York April ,1972 Price: $3.50 iii 0 CORNELL UNIVERSITY SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAM 1972 1V PREFACE It has been almost twenty-five years since Dr. Cecil Hobbs, ·Head, Southern Asia Orientalia Division of the Library of Congress, undertook his first acquisitions trip to southeast Asia on behalf of the Library of congress.
