Since its establishment in 1950, the International Associa- tion of Universities has been dedicated to the service of this co-operationat the internationallevel. Its quinquennial conferences are only one means by which it has attempted to accomplish this service. Each of these conferences from Nice to Istanbul to Mexico City to Tokyo to Montreal has made its distinctive contribution and has also,I am sure, been a memorable experience to those who participated in it. Through free and genuine exchange of ideas among representatives of universities from various geographical, cultural and political regions of the world, through the common concern of these representatives in the confrontation of problems affecting We development oftheir individualinstitutions and oftheir Association, and, not least, through the establishment and strengthening of friendly personal contacts, the conferences have had their part in stimulating and fortifying international understanding and cooperation in the field of higher education. By their progressively enlarged attendance and broadened interests, these meetings have also shown the steady develop- ment of the work of the Association. The FifthGeneralConference, heldinthepleasant atmosphere of Montreal, August 30 to September 5,1070, brought together more than 600 participants.its formal work was, as usual, twofold : on the one hand, the members were engaged, for more than three days, in the discussion of two themes of timely importance to all universities ; "International University Cooperation" and "The University and the Needs of Contemporary Society"; and, on the other, they reviewed the work of the Association during the preceding five-year period and laid the broad lines of policy for the coming five 7 years.The present Report is a faithful record of the views that were expressed and of the decisions that were taken. But in addition to its importance as a record of the Conference, itis I believe, a valuable document reflecting basic trends and ideas in the increasingly complex and critical realm of higher education today. It is not my purpose in this foreword to continent on the rich contents of this Report.I wish merely to make two simple yet essential points.The first relates to what I may call the "spirit" of the Conference.It is my personal impression that the Conference revealed and, inits own modest way, gave ,opport to certain attitudes which are basic to the continuance and the progress of universities : faith in reason and dialogue; receptivity to innovation to meet the revolutionary changes in societies and in universities; concern for the preservation and enrichment of the university's intellectual and moral legacy: and readiness to co-operate more closely and more widely across boundaries and in spite of differences and obstacles. Whatever views were expressed were impressed with these attitudes, and itis, in the last analysis, such attitudes, sus- tained by mutual confidence and free exchange, which will cement the university world and reinforce its endeavour to discharge its mounting tasks to its national and international communities. The second point is that the Conference could not have achieveditstask successfully without the generosity and cordial support of the Governments of Quebec and of Canada. Deep gratitude is due, and was unanimously expressed at the closing session of the Conference,. to Ills Excellency the Right lion, Roland Michener, Governor-General of Canada, and to the various other distinguished representatives of Canada and Quebec who honoured he Conference with their presence and their addresses at its various functions. We owe also a great debt to our hosts, the Conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec acting for the Association of the Universities and Colleges of Canada.Special words of thanks and appreciation are due to Dr, Roger Gaudry, Rector of the University of Montreal, who represented these two Asso- ciations, and to Dr. Lucien Piehe and his team of collaborators and assistants who masterfully organized and executed the complicated material arrangements of this large international meeting.This team worked in close collaboration with the Organizing Committee of the Conference, appointed by the Administiative Board, which had the task of planning the programme of the Conference and with the IAUSecretariat which laboured for long and arduous months in translating these plans into concrete forms and details.All of these 8 preparations, worked out steadfastly and harmoniously,laid the basis for the success of the Conference.This success cannot he conveyed in printed words, but 1 am confident that it was generally felt and that it will long remain alive in the minds of the participants, The Montreal Conference was to me personally the climax of a long and happy period of service to IAU, particularly during the quinquennitun (1965-70) in which I had the honour and the privilege to serve as President,It is my pleasure to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to all those who made this experience highly rewarding to me -to my colleagueson the Administrative Board, whose wise counsel and generous colla- boration were always a source of inspiration and strength; to the Secretary-General, Mr. 11.M.H. Keyes, and his team of collaborators who carried on remarkably the day to day work of the Association;to the officers and representatives of member universities and Associate Members from whom I had the benefit to learn and whose individual and common efforts are gradually building up the emerging international university community; and finally, but no less deeply, to the Director- General of Unesco and to his collaborators in the field of lligher Education with whom I was privileged to work closely. As 1, in conclusion, turn from the past to the future, I am happy to express to the new President, my minent colleague and friend, Prof. V. Merikoski, and to the members of the Administrative Board elected at Montreal, my sincere congrat- ulations and my best wishes for their leadership in the coming period of the Association's life and work. Constantine K. ZURAYK. INTRODUCTION The Fifth General Conference was the largest in the history of IAU. More than six hundred people took part, including representathes of 307 member institutions of IAU in Si countries;of its eight Associate Members; and of 54 international, regional and national bodies concerned with higher education and research.This attendance was all the more remarkable because the Conference took place at a most critical period in the history of universities.The crisis which seems at moments to threaten their very existence is now coupled with an unprecedented expansion of their respon- sibilities and of their numbers, and casts an alarmingin some ways mysteriousshadow over their growth.It has happened before, of course, that universities have been cri- ticized, even derided, or left to carry on with their rites amid general indifference.There were times when some of them were actually suppressed.But these attacks usually hap- pened when they were stagnating, when they were paralysing intellectual life rather

Operational and Policy Governance are clearly understood. The Board of Directors and Members have adapted well. Again, I stress how pleased I am to work with a team striving to improve our organization and game. The Board recognizes that hockey is a passion with high expectations from our country. The mandatory Initiation Program is experiencing some concern in a few areas; however, I have been impressed with the progress and attitude of the Members actively involved in promoting the value of this program. It is pleasant to receive compliments supporting the Board for this initiative. It is difficult to be critical of a program that works on improvement and develops skills as well as incorporating fun in the game.

  • Colonial Ideology, Colonial Sciences and Colonial Sociology in Belgium
    The American Sociologist (2020) 51:148–171 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12108-020-09455-z Colonial Ideology, Colonial Sciences and Colonial Sociology in Belgium Marc Poncelet1 Published online: 9 June 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract At the turn of the twentieth century, Belgian sociology and Belgian colonialism in Congo developed into a small political and academic elite that shared the same ideological stances. Colonialism played a more significant role. Colonization provided a new stage for emerging disciplines such as geography and sociology – which played their part in creating a brand new Belgo-African ethnology. Despite being a work in progress, sociology (which mainly involved jurists and lawyers) found a key place in the new institutional colonial sciences network. A colonial consensus was reached between Catholic and Liberal elites during the colonial crises and polemics that were also theoretical battles. Colonial sociology aspired to become the encyclopedic ethnol- ogy of the last African Terra incognita, as well as the government’smodernscienceof the indigenous people. Missionaries, colonial magistrates and administrators carried out field research. It gradually generates a significant output on the scale of the social sciences of the time. But it was more closely linked to the institutions of colonial power than to academic institutions. As colonial sociology partially freed itself from the colonial context during the 1950s, under the banner of professional ethnology, on the one hand, and the sociology of development on the other, it had to contend with a dramatic decolonization process. Quite rightly considered colonial sociology but not sociology of colonization, its success can, however, not be summed up in a single ideology.

  • Embodied Histories, Danced Religions, Performed Politics: Kongo Cultural Performance and the Production of History and Authority
    Embodied Histories, Danced Religions, Performed Politics: Kongo Cultural Performance and the Production of History and Authority by Yolanda Denise Covington A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Elisha P. Renne, Chair Associate Professor Kelly M. Askew Associate Professor Mbala D. Nkanga Assistant Professor Julius S. Scott III © Yolanda Denise Covington 2008 To my grandmother NeNe ii Acknowledgements When I look back on my experiences, it seems as if I was guided by some unseen hand. From my acceptance into the A Better Chance Program for high school, to my career switch from medicine to anthropology/Africana Studies at Brown University, to my trips to Panama, and finally to Congo while at the University of Michigan, I often felt as if my path was being determined by someone else and I was just traveling along it. Along the way, however, I met many wonderful people who have played crucial roles in my journey, and I have to thank them for getting me here. This dissertation is really a collaborative project, for I could not have completed it without the guidance and assistance of so many people. The first person I have to thank is my grandmother, who has inspired and encouraged from my days at C.E.S. 110X in the Bronx. She has always been supportive and continues to push me to reach my highest potential. I could not have reached this point without a great support system and wonderful dissertation committee.

However, its scope has been enlarged, in that general statements describing the salient features of undergraduate medical training in each country have also been included. No attempt has been made to draw firm conclusions or to make pro­ nouncements on medical education as a world-wide phenomenon. The descriptive accounts and factual material which make up this Directory may be considered as part of the raw data on which the reader can base his own independent analysis; they are intended to be no more than a general guide, and investigators in the subject of medical education should not expect to :find a complete report therein.

  • “Alpe,” the Magnificat Number 18
    Encounters in Theory and History of Education Vol. 18, 2017 By María Cruz Bascones “Alpe,” The MagniFicat Number 18 ISSN 2560-8371 Ó Encounters in Theory and History of Education 1 Encounters in Theory and History of Education Vol. 18, 2017, 2-26 Colonial education in the Congo - a question oF “uncritical” pedagogy until the bitter end? La educación colonial en el Congo, ¿una cuestión de pedagogía "acrítica" hasta el amargo Final? L’éducation coloniale au Congo – une question de pédagogie « non-critique» jusqu’à la fin? Marc Depaepe KULeuven@Kulak, Belgium ABSTRACT Our approach is a historical, and not a theoretical or a philosophical one. But such an approach might help in understanding the complexities and ambiguities of the pedagogical mentalities in the course of the twentieth century. As is usually the case in historical research, the groundwork must precede the formulation of hypotheses, let alone theories, about the nature of pedagogical practices. Therefore, since the 1990s, “we” (as a team) have been busy studying the history of education in the former Belgian Congo. Of course, since then we have not only closely monitored the theoretical and methodological developments in the field of colonial historiography, but have ourselves also contributed to that history. This article tries to give an overview of some of our analyses, concentrating on the question of to what extent the Belgian offensive of colonial (i.e. mainly Catholic) missionary education, which was almost exclusively targeted at “paternalism,” contributed to the development of a personal life, individual autonomy and/or emancipation of the native people. From the rear-view mirror of history we are, among other things, zooming in on the crucial 1950s, during which decade thoughts first turned to the education of a (very limited) “elite.” The thesis we are using in this respect is that the nature of the “mental space” of colonialism was such that it did not engender a very great widening of consciousness among the local population.

  • Educational Organisation in the Belgian Congo (1908-1958)
    When Congo Wants To Go To School – Educational Organisation In The Belgian Congo (1908-1958) Classroom rear view, Nsona Mbata (Matadi), 1920 Contexts The first part of this study will concentrate on the wider environment within which daily practice of colonial education is situated. It progresses in three stages in accordance with the aim of the research. Three chapters correspond with these three stages. The general, macro-institutional context of the phenomenon of colonial education is considered in the first chapter. This includes a discussion of the organisational development and politico-strategic factors that influenced this phenomenon. The development of the educational structures is indicated from the angle of the interaction between state intervention and the Catholic initiative. Within that framework the major themes in the content and emphasis of colonial lesson plans are also considered, as are the opinions on these subjects. Finally, figures are given to allow an estimate of the quantitative development of education in the colony. The second chapter shifts the focus to Belgium. The preparation, training, ideas and worldview with which the missionaries left for the Belgian Congo will be considered more closely. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part considers a number of broad social and historical factors that played a part in the formation of the missionaries’ general intellectual baggage. Mainly results of existing research are presented and discussed in this part. The second part takes a closer look at the people who are of specific interest to us, covering the preparation and training given to the Sacred Heart Missionaries in Belgium and using specific source material.
