Origin and History of the School

Origin and early history During the early nineteenth century, the provision for teaching and research in Oriental studies in London was very meagre; the few University posts were attached to University and King's Colleges. In 1907, as the result of a joint approach to the Government by the Senate of the University and a number of interested societies, a Committee was appointed with Lord Reay as Chairman and Mr (later Sir) Philip J Hartog (Academic Registrar of the University of London) as Secretary. The Report of this Committee stressed the urgent need for suitable teaching in London for those about to take up administrative and commercial posts in Asia and Africa. It was recommended that a School of Oriental Studies, possessing a name and home of its own, should be built up from the nucleus of Oriental teaching already existing at University and King's Colleges; that a grant should be made from Government funds for the teaching of living Oriental languages, though classical studies should also be taught at the School; and that the School should possess a library, to include modem Oriental books and periodicals. The Secretary of State for India appointed a Departmental Committee under the Chairmanship of the Earl of Cromer, with Mr Hartog as Secretary, to formulate a scheme to give effect to the Report. After prolonged investigation the Committee recommended that the premises in Finsbury Circus of the London Institution for the Advancement of Literature and the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge should be acquired. The London Institution (Transfer) Bill received the Royal Assent in December, 1912; under its terms the land and buildings of the Institution were vested in HM Commissioners of Works for the purpose of a School of Oriental Studies. On Sth June, 1916, the School received its Royal Charter, and became a college of the University of London. In November of the same year Dr (later Sir) E Denison Ross assumed office as first Director of the School. The first students were admitted on 18th January, 1917, and on 23rd February the School was formally opened by His Majesty King George V. By July the nine students taken over by the School had increased to 125, and within the first ten years over 3,000 were enrolled. In 1938 the Charter was amended to change the title of the School to 'School of Oriental and African Studies'. When the University, which was actively beginning to develop the Bloomsbury site, offered the School a place within the precinct, it accepted with alacrity. In July, 1936, negotiations for the sale of the 45 Origin and History of the School

Finsbury Circus building were completed and, pending the erection of a new building on the University site in Bloomsbury, temporary premises for teaching and administration were rented in Vandon House, Westminster, and for the Library in Clarence House. Work on the new building in Bloomsbury began in June, 1938, but its completion was prevented by the outbreak of war.

The second world war The year 1939 found the School well equipped to make a unique contribution to the war effort. Though Service and Government Departments were slow to avail themselves of the facilities that could be placed at their disposal, these came to be increasingly recognized as the area of operations spread from Europe across North Africa, Asia, and the Far East. For the first year of the war the School (except the Library) transferred to Christ's College, Cambridge. On returning to London in July, 1940, temporary premises were taken at Broadway Court, Westminster. In October, 1941, the School was able to occupy a portion of the partly completed premises at Bloomsbury, the remainder being occupied by the Ministry of Information until March, 1946. At Cambridge the apparatus of the Phonetics Laboratory was set up at the request of the Air Ministry. Special intensive courses in Arabic and Turkish were given to officers of the Army and RAF. After the outbreak of war with Japan an Inter-Services Committee for the Teaching of Foreign Languages was set up in accordance with a recommendation made by the Director of the School, and thereafter plans for developing language instruction began to develop rapidly. Chinese and Japanese were the languages most required during the latter stages of the war. The number of students rose during the war, reaching a peak of 1,029 in the session 1945-46. Altogether a total of 1,674 Service students received training at the School during the war, and in censorship and translation work the School dealt with 32,312 documents in 192 different languages.

The post-war expansion and development In December, 1944, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs appointed an Interdepartmental Commission of Enquiry on Oriental, Slavonic, East European and African Studies under the Chairmanship of the Earl of Scarbrough. The Commission presented its Report in April, 1946, and in due course the Government decided to implement its recommendations. This resulted in the provision of a substantial ear-marked grant for Oriental and African studies during the quinquennium 1947-52, which enabled a considerable expansion of the School's activities to be achieved; the Department of South East Asia was re-established and Departments of Law 46 Origin and History of the School

and of Anthropology were instituted. In January, 1960, the University Grants Committee appointed a Sub-Committee under the Chairmanship of Sir William Hayter to review the progress made in the implementation of the recommendations of the Scarbrough Commission, and in May, 1961 the Hayter Committee recommended in its Report that funds should be made available for a major expansion in the provision for the social sciences as related to Asian, African, Slavonic and East European fields of study. These recommendations were approved and the School was able to create and build up new Departments of Economic and Political Studies, and of Geography, and to extend the scope of the Department of Anthropology to include Sociology. In 1966 five Centres of Area Studies were established, and a Contemporary China Institute during 1967-68. The Centre of Far Eastern Studies was ended in 1978, when a Japan Research Centre was established. In 1979 a Centre of Music Studies was established, and in 1981, a Centre of Art and Archaeology. In 1950 the late Sir Percival David presented to the University of London his unique collection of Chinese ceramics and associated library. This most generous gift, among the most important ever made to the University, led to the constitution of The Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, which is administered in association with the School. The Foundation was formally opened on lOth June, 1952, by the Chancellor of the University, the Rt Hon the Earl of Athlone, KG. In 1952 a valuable accession to the Collection was received in the form of a gift from the Hon Mountstuart Elphinstone of 140 monochrome porcelains. The Foundation is now permanently housed at 53 Gordon Square. A gallery extension, The Lady David Gallery, was opened by the Chancellor of the University, HRH The Princess Anne, in April, 1983.

The School buildings The post-war expansion and development inevitably led to serious accommodation problems. Help was given by the University Court in the form of leases of some houses in Woburn Square, and in 1960-61 the School used the remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the Finsbury Circus site, and other reserve funds, to pay for the construction of a fourth floor. As the staff and Library continued to grow, the School had to lease more premises and by 1970 the life and work of the School were being carried on in fourteen separate buildings scattered widely over Central London. In 1959-60 the Rockefeller Foundation made two munificent grants to the School, each of 200,000 dollars, the one in support of the School's research programmes, and the other towards the construction of a new library; the latter grant was contingent upon the balance 47 Origin and History of the School

of the estimated cost of the first stage of the project being raised from other sources by the end of June, 1961. The School decided to organize a public appeal, directed primarily to industrial and commercial firms with interests in Asia and Africa; its success was due largely to the efforts of the Chairman of the appeal, the late Sir Neville Gass. By June 1961 a further £160,000 had been promised, much of it under covenant, and the University Court guaranteed that the remaining amount needed to enable the Rockefeller grant to be claimed would be forthcoming. In 1961 Mr (later Sir) Denys Lasdun, who was the architect for the University's precinctual development, began work on plans for the School's new extension. However, it was not until January, 1970, after many obstacles had been surmounted, particularly those relating to the site, that work on the new extension began, and proceeded steadily to completion in 1973. The University Grants Committee, besides meeting the greater part of the total cost of the building, also provided the funds needed to furnish and equip it. For the first time since the move from Finsbury Circus the whole School was reunited under a single roof, with the library housed in accommodation to meet its needs and the academic staff provided with an adequate number of private and teaching rooms. While the new building was being constructed, plans for the completion and reorganization of the old building were worked out, but for financial reasons the actual work had to be carried out in four phases-the conversion and completion of the East Wing from the lower ground floor to the third floor, the reorganization of the entrance hall and the Assembly Hall, the formation of rooms for the Centre of Music Studies, and the reorganization of administrative offices on the first floor. This work, which began in January, 1977, was completed during the Long Vacation of 1979.

The Directors of the School During the first sixty years of its existence the School had only three Directors. Sir Denison Ross held office until 1937, when he was succeeded by Professor (later Sir) Ralph L Turner, MC, MA, LITTD, a former Fellow of Christ's College Cambridge, who had occupied the Chair of Sanskrit at the University of London since 1922, after some years in the Indian Educational Service. His period of office covered the first phase of the post-war expansion resulting from the Report of the Scarbrough Commission. On his retirement in 1957, he was succeeded by Professor (later Sir) Cyril H Philips, MA, DUTT. LLD, PHD, who had been a member of the staff since 1936 and Professor of Oriental History and Head of the Department of History since 1946. Under his direction, the second phase of the post-war development was carried out, with special emphasis on the

48 Origin and History of the School

introduction of modern social studies into the School's curriculum, as recommended by the Hayter Committee. Sir Cyril Philips relinquished the Directorship in 1976 and was succeeded by Professor CD Cowan, MA, PHO, who had been a member of the staff since 1950 and Professor of the History of South East Asia since 1961.

Rules and Regulations for Students

Admission to the School is conditional upon a student's signing a declaration and undertaking that he will abide by the underwritten rules and regulations of the School laid down by, or with the authority of, the Governing Body, as from time to time varied or modified by that Body. All offers of admission to pursue a course of study as a registered student of the School are made by the Registrar or his officially authorized deputy. No promise or purported offer made otherwise than in accordance with this Regulation has any validity.

I General 1 In order to be admitted to the School, a candidate must be at least 17 years of age. 2 A student cannot be registered for a degree or diploma of the University unless he has satisfied the general requirements of the University and any additional requirements for the course for which he is applying. (Further details about requirements are given in the School's Calendar and Postgraduate and Undergraduate prospectuses.) 3 A person who wishes to study, as an internal student, for a relevant degree or diploma of the University must first be accepted by the School. The fact that a candidate has satisfied the general requirements of the University does not mean that he will automatically obtain a place at the School. The School can accept only a proportion of those who apply, and it normally expects standards which are well above the minimum requirements of the University. 4 A student who does not wish to be registered for a degree or diploma of the University may be admitted without having satisfied the general requirements of the University. 5 Candidates for admission who are available in the United Kingdom may be called for interview. 6 Admission to the School is conditional upon the possession of a sound knowledge of written and spoken English. Applicants whose mother tongue is not English are required to take an English test a few days before the beginning of the session. They are, therefore, required to arrive in London and report to the Registrar a few days before the first term begins. Those who fail this test will be classified into: a Those whose knowledge of English, though falling short of the

Words implying the masculine gender should be taken to include the feminine gender un1ess the context requires otherwise.

73 Rules and Regulations for Students

required standards, is nevertheless considered sufficient to warrant their admission to a course of study. These persons will be permitted to register as students of the University and to attend classes, on condition that they improve their command of English by attending, at their own expense, a course of instruction provided either at a recognized language school or by the British Council. b Those whose knowledge of English is not sufficient to warrant their admission to the School. These persons will not be reconsidered for admission to the School until they have gained, at their own expense, a knowledge of English deemed by the Head of the appropriate Department at the School to be adequate to enable them to follow their course of study.

7 Students are required to comply with instructions concerning attendance at seminars, supervisions, lectures, classes and tutorials issued from time to time by, or with the authority of, the Head(s) of the Department(s) in which they are registered. The Director may, at his discretion, refuse to allow any student to continue in a course of study at the School beyond the normal period required for completion of such course of study. He may refuse to allow any student to renew his attendance at the School as from the beginning of any term, on the ground of the student's inadequate academic performance including failure in a degree examination or other examination relating to a course, or failure without adequate reasons to take an examination after completing the normal course therefor, or for any other good academic cause. Any action taken by the Director under this regulation shall be reported to the next following meeting of the Academic Board.

8 No student of the School shall a Engage in conduct likely 1 to disrupt teaching or study or research or the administration of the School; 2 to obstruct any officer or servant of the School in the performance of his duties; 3 to obstruct any officer or student in the carrying out of his studies or research; b 1 Damage or deface any property of the School; 2 occupy or use the same otherwise than in accordance with rules or other provision made therefor from time to time by, or with the authority of, the Governing Body of the School. Contravention of this regulation renders a student liable to penalties, which in serious cases may extend to suspension of or termination of membership of the School. Such penalties shall be imposed in accordance with the disciplinary procedures from time to time laid down by the Governing Body. The current procedures are set out in the Appendix at the foot of page 75. 74 Rules and Regulations for Students

9 No student will be allowed to enter upon his course until the appropriate fees have been paid to the Registrar, or there is an assurance that they will be forthcoming from a reliable source such as a Local Education Authority. Before entering upon their course all students, particularly students from overseas, are advised to ensure that they have adequate funds to meet their fee payments, the cost of their subsistence and any necessary research expense for the whole of their period of study. University of London regulations state that if a student has entered for the last examination necessary to qualify for admission to a degree, diploma or certificate of the University, but the authorities of a School, or of a Central Activity, or of the University Library, or the Secretary for Accounting of the University notify the Academic Registrar that he has not settled with them or made acceptable arrangements to settle any account outstanding, no report will be made on the result of the examination until the same authority certifies that payment has been made in full. The dates by which any account due to the School must be settled are as follows: a for students reading for undergraduate degrees or for School diplomas and certificates, the Friday preceding the end of the third term b for postgraduates reading for Masters' degrees by examination and Diplomas by examination, by the date of the final written examination or the date on which any dissertation is submitted, whichever is the later c for postgraduates reading for research degrees (MPhil or PhD), the date on which the thesis is submitted to the University d for students admitted to courses not leading to a formal qualification, the Friday preceding the end of the term in which their course is completed.

Appendix 1 Under the powers conferred on him by the School's Charter of Incorporation and by the Standing Orders of the Governing Body, the Director will deal with any alleged breach of discipline by a student either reported directly to him or referred to him by a Head of Department and may initiate disciplinary action himself. 2 Within seven days of the date of the Director's notification to the student of his decision on the case, the student may by written notice addressed to the Secretary of the School appeal to the Governing Body against any decision by the Director to take disciplmary action against the student. The Director may extend the time for the lodgmg of such an appeal. Unless the Director decides to suspend, pending the hearing of an appeal, the putting into effect of any disciplinary decision he may take, all disciplinary decisions taken by the Director shall be put into effect forthwith. 3 The Governing Body shall decide its own procedure in relation to the appeal and shall fix the date and place for any hearing, at which the student who is . appealing may be accompanied by one other person of the student's own ch01ce.

75 Rules and Regulations for Students

10 In their use of the Library, students are required to abide by the rules for its use as set out in the School's Calendar and in the School's Library Guide.

11 Every student is required to keep the Registrar informed of his or her up to date address.

II First Degree 12 An approved course of study for a first degree must normally extend over not less than three academic years.

Applications 13 a Applicants from the United Kingdom: All applications for admission to a full-time course leading to a first degree must be made through the Universities Central Council on Admissions (UCCA). b Overseas Applicants: A candidate whose permanent home address is outside the United Kingdom is advised to apply to UCCA through one of the recognized agencies which handle applications from overseas students, such as the Overseas Development Administration or his own country's High Commissioner's office, students' office, Embassy or Consulate-General in the United Kingdom. British Council offices abroad can give helpful advice but do not supply application forms or handbooks. (Overseas applicants should note Regulation 6 above.) c UCCA: Application forms and handbooks if not obtained from the candidate's school should be obtained from: The Universities Central Council on Admissions, PO Box 28, Cheltenham, Glos GL50 lHY.

Requirements for Admission 14 a Requirements of London University: Candidates must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements of the University of London, which are: either Passes in five subjects of the General Certificate of Education, of which at least two must be at Advanced Level, or Passes in four subjects, of which at least three must be passed at Advanced Level. The subjects must be chosen from an approved list, and must avoid certain overlapping. (Details may be obtained from the Registrar of the School.) There is no requirement that a certain number of subjects must be passed at one and the same time, or on a limited number of occasions. No subjects can be counted at both Ordinary and Advanced levels. For General Certificate of

76 Rules and Regulations for Students

Education examinations held in and after June 1975 Ordinary level subjects in which Grade A, B or C is achieved will be acceptable in satisfaction of general requirements where previously passes were required. When a foreign language is required applicants are expected to produce evidence of success in a European language other than English, although in certain courses involving studies in African and Oriental languages appropriate non-European languages may be accepted. For candidates educated in a language other than English, a pass in either English Language or English Literature will be accepted as an approved language for courses where one or two modern languages are required. For further information about these qualifications, application should be made to the Registrar of the School or to the Secretary of the University Entrance Requirements Department, University of London, Senate House, Malet Street, WClE 7HU. b In addition to the general requirements of the University, each Department within the School also has its own conditions for entry to its own courses which are given in more detail in the Undergraduate Prospectus. These conditions are flexible, great weight being given to school reports and interviews as well as examination results. Broadly speaking, however, a candidate who applies to do a language course has to show evidence of linguistic ability, for example by obtaining a good grade at Advanced level in a foreign language. Similarly, a candidate for one of the History courses would be well advised to have a good pass at Advanced level in a subject such as History and/or English.

Preliminary Examination Regulations for Students registered for a BA degree other than by course units 15 a The Preliminary Examination is held at a time fixed by the Academic Board and every student registered with the School for a BA degree other than by course units is required to take the Preliminary Examination in the first year of his or her course. b The examination will consist of at least one, and not more than three, written paper(s) and may also include oral tests and/or the submission of essays and/or written reports. c The scope of the papers to be taken by each student or group of students in one year is determined by the Head of the Department in consultation with the teachers responsible for the subject. d On the basis of the results of the Preliminary Examination, Heads of Departments make one of the following recommendations, about each of their students, to the Academic Board: to proceed, to repeat the year, to repeat all or part of the examination, course to be terminated.

B Scope of Teaching 1 Undergraduate Studies Until 1984 there were two distinct types of BA degree in History. History could be studied as one branch of the non-course unit University degree in History, in which historical study of Africa or a major region of Asia could be combined with courses on Western history and on relations between the West and the Third World. The alternative approach was through the School-based course unit BA in Asian and African History, in which students were able to choose from a wide range of courses taught within the History Department. Joint degrees in which the History components were drawn from the BA in Asian and African History programme were available in combination with various other disciplines and languages. These degrees will continue to be examined until 1986, but all new students are now taught wholly within the course unit system in revised patterns with strong regional or thematic emphasis in both single-subject and joint degrees. The main options within the new system are as follows: Single-subject History History is available as a single subject with particular reference to one

104 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

of the following regions: Africa, the Near and Middle East, the Indian Sub-Continent, South East Asia, China and Japan, and the Modern Third World. In the case of the Near and Middle East and the Indian Sub-Continent the same regional degrees may be taken with the addition of a year's language study as a four-year degree in History with an Asian Language. Joint degrees History (with particular reference to either Africa, the Near and Middle East, the Indian Sub-Continent, South East Asia, China and Japan, or Modern Asia and Africa) can be combined in a three­ year degree with either Art and Archaeology, Economics, Geography, Law, Politics, Religious Studies, or Social Anthropology. In the joint degree with Economics, Economic history provides an additional alternative to the regional History patterns; in the case of Art and Archaeology, Religious Studies, and Social Anthropology, the Modern Asia and Africa option is not available. History (with particular reference to the appropriate region) can also be combined in a three-year degree with either Hausa, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Sinhalese, Tamil, Urdu, Burmese, Indonesian, Thai or Vietnamese. There are also four-year degrees in History and Amharic, Swahili, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hindi, Chinese or Japanese. For details see the Undergraduate Prospectus and the Course Unit Handbook. 2 Postgraduate Studies MA in History A taught one-year (two years part-time) MA in Oriental and African History degree is offered in which students concentrate wholly or mainly on one region. For details see the Postgraduate Prospectus.

This course is designed to meet the needs of Honours graduates in geography wishing to obtain an advanced knowledge of Africa and the Middle East, either as a preparation for research in some specialized aspect of the human geography of that region, or with a view to taking up a career in education, business or administration, with special reference to it. For details see the Postgraduate Prospectus. Optional courses in geography are provided for each of the five MA Area Studies degrees taught at the School. Supervision is provided for the degrees of MPhil or PhD in Geography with reference to Asia and/or Africa. For details see the Postgraduate Prospectus. 3 General A staff postgraduate seminar is held on a weekly basis throughout the session.

114 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

Art, Archaeology, Music and Religious Studies There are no Departments of art and archaeology, music, or religious studies, but these subjects are taught on an inter-departmental basis, and reference should also be made to the relevant Departmental entries.

A Art and Archaeology 1 Undergraduate Studies In addition to courses organized on a regional basis, there are others which are thematic or covering more than one region. Certain courses at University College and at the Institute of Archaeology are also available on an inter-collegiate basis. Students are encouraged to use the collections at the British, Homiman and Victoria and Albert Museums and those of the Museum of Mankind. The BA Honours degree by course units is awarded to successful candidates. In addition to Art and Archaeology as a single subject degree there are two-subject degrees in association with Geography, History, Religious Studies or certain Asian and African languages. Students taking other subjects for the BA Honours by course units may, with their tutor's approval, take up to two Art and Archaeology units. A booklet on available courses may be obtained from the Registrar.

2 Postgraduate Studies Instruction and supervision are provided for the MA, MPhil and PhD degrees. Candidates are normally required to have a first degree with either first or upper second class Honours, but there are no requirements as to its subject. It should be noted, however, that for the MPhil and PhD adequate knowledge of relevant languages may be required; these can usually be studied at the School. Candidates may be required to pass a qualifying examination before proceeding to more advanced work. Papers in Art and Archaeology are also available in the MA Area Studies and MA Religious Studies programmes. Further details can be found in the Postgraduate Prospectus, available from the Registrar. Both undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Art and Archaeology are co-ordinated by the Centre of Art and Archaeology, to which all members of staff who are concerned with the subject belong.

B Music 1 Undergraduate Studies Music is available in the two-subject degree Music and History, which is one of those taught by course units. Applicants interested in Music and

115 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

History should write to the Registrar to ascertain the latest position with regard to the degree. Candidates will normally be expected to have studied music to Advanced level or its equivalent, although musically competent candidates without such qualifications may also be considered. Music is also available as an optional special subject in the degrees in Arabic, Sanskrit, and South Asian Studies.

2 Postgraduate Studies Supervision of research for the MPhil and PhD degree is offered in the Departments of Africa, the Near and Middle East, Indology and of the Modem Languages and Literatures of South Asia, and South East Asia. Music may also be studied as an optional paper in the MA in Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean Studies and MA Area Studies (Africa) (The ethnomusicology of a selected area of Southern Africa); as two optional papers in the MA Area Studies (South Asia) as follows: 1 Classical music with reference to South Asia (North India or South India) 2 Folk music with reference to South Asia There is no separate department of music at the School, and the various members of staff who are involved with music are attached to the regional Departments. But they are, at the same time, members of the Centre of Music Studies, which helps co-ordinate teaching and also has among its functions the organization of periodic staff meetings and research seminars. The Library contains a considerable collection of publications in the general field of ethnomusicology and in the music of the various regions covered by the School. In addition, the Library has a collection of recorded music which is a most valuable supplement to the extensive departmental collections of recorded music housed in the Centre of Music Studies.

C Religious Studies 1 Undergraduate Studies The School offers a very wide range of courses in Religious Studies leading in combination with another subject to the BA by course units. Such combinations are now available with every other major discipline at the School (except Music), and with many of the languages taught at the School. Buddhism, Islam, and the religions of the Middle East (including Old Testament Judaism) are strongly represented. Hinduism and Sikhism, Zoroastrianism (or Parsism), religion in Africa (Christian, Muslim and Traditional), and other aspects may be studied.

116 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

The Certificate in Religious Studies represents one year's full-time study or the part-time equivalent, in courses drawn from the BA list. It is particularly attractive for students from overseas, wishing to spend a year at the School as part of their undergraduate studies. It is intended also for mature students, especially those seeking a solid, basic introduction to a specific religion, or to religion in a particular area.

2 Postgraduate Studies The MA in Oriental and African Religious Studies represents one year's full-time study, and may also be taken part-time. It is designed for those wishing to obtain some detailed knowledge of the doctrines, observances and history of one or at the most two religions. The MA is a preparation for research, or for relevant careers (such as teaching), and also an extension of a liberal education. Research in the religions and philosophies of Asia and Africa generally requires a thorou1:,:1 understanding of their languages and literatures. Candidates for the MPhil and PhD degrees will normally have qualified in the relevant language in their first degree, while others may be accepted if they complete further approved study. Students wishing eventually to undertake research in this field are therefore strongly encouraged to commence relevant language study as early as possible. There is no language prerequisite for either the BA or MA (though there may be for some individual courses within them), nor is language study a required part of them. However, a number of BA combinations are of Religious Studies and a language, several introductory language courses are available as part of the MA programmes, and every encouragement is given to Religious Studies students who wish to take advantage of the School's unrivalled opportunities for language work. Full details of all courses for the Certificate, BA and MA are available from the Registrar.

D General Opportunities exist for suitably qualified students to pursue the study of art and archaeology, music, or religious studies as occasional (non-degree) students at the undergraduate level, or to undertake non-degree research. Enquiries and applications should be addressed to the Registrar.

Centres of Area Studies

Areas Chairmen African Studies Dr R J A R Rathbone Near and Middle Eastern Studies Dr JA Allan South Asian Studies Dr D D Taylor South East Asian Studies Dr RB Smith The Area Centres have two particular functions. The first is the provision of facilities for the organization of inter-disciplinary teaching and research, combining the academic resources of relevant Depart­ ments. The second is the organization of the MA Area Studies programme. The first function is discharged partly by arranging inter-disciplinary seminars to discuss matters of common regional concern. Several of these seminars have resulted in the holding of special conferences, sometimes organized in association with other Departments of the School or with similar Area Centres in other universities both in the United Kingdom and overseas. The second function involves the arranging of courses in anthropology, art and archaeology, economics, economic history, education, geography, history, international relations, language, literature, law, music, politics, religious studies and sociology.

MA in Area Studies Areas Programme Chairmen Africa Dr R J A R Rathbone Afro-American and Afro­ Dr R J A R Rathbone Caribbean Far East Dr R L Sims Near and Middle East Dr JA Allan South Asia Professor K A Ballhatchet South East Asia Mr PC I Ayre The examination in the MA in Area Studies degree is taken with reference to one area. The course is designed to provide an opportunity to study several aspects of the area simultaneously. It is intended for students who have acquired their general education in some other field, or whose undergraduate course included only limited study of Africa or Asia. In some cases students intending to proceed to research degrees are advised to take this course as a preliminary step. The course consists mainly of seminar classes leading to written examinations in three subjects, one of which is treated as the major subject and the other two as minors. By way of examination, students are required either to take four written papers, or to take three written papers and to submit a

118 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

dissertation of 10,000 words in place of the second written paper of the major subject. It is also possible to take certain courses by part-time study and the Registrar can supply further details. The School also offers the degree of MA in Islamic Societies and Cultures. Full details of these degrees may be found in the Postgraduate Prospectus and MA Area Studies Handbooks, copies of which are obtainable from the Registrar.

119 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

External Services

One of the important functions of the School has always been to provide a knowledge of Asia and Africa for a wider public than its own full-time students. Since 1952 an extensive programme of extramural studies has been developed.

Education Programme The aim of the programme is to develop and extend interest in Asia and Africa and to achieve a closer working relationship between school and university through in-service education and curriculum development: a Jn-service courses and workshops for teachers and lecturers are arranged in co-operation with local education authorities, teachers' centres and departments and colleges of higher education, and are held at different residential centres throughout the country as well as at the School. The majority are short courses but courses of longer duration are also held. Besides the study of an area or theme in some depth, full opportunity is provided for teachers to discuss Asian and African studies in schools, and all that these imply with regard to syllabus revision, bibliography and resources. b Schoolteacher Fellowships. This is an important programme open to teachers who may apply for a period of study at the School. Contact is maintained with Fellows who are encouraged to participate in the Division's work. c Curriculum Development and Educational Materials. A Resources Centre has been established which is open to teachers, from 9.45 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday. Handbooks and Occasional Papers are published for Teachers. d Study Conferences and Lectures are arranged in co-operation with local education authorities or directly with schools and colleges of education throughout the country. These are for sixth-formers or college students and are related to work being carried out in the schools and colleges concerned. e An Advisory and Information Service is provided for interested teachers on all questions relating to Asian and African studies in schools and colleges.

Advisory Conferences A number of Advisory Conferences are arranged annually to advise heads of schools, careers advisers, sixth-form staff and sixth-formers

120 Scope of Teaching and Instruction

themselves of the School's undergraduate offerings. School staff also take part in careers conferences arranged by local authorities and schools to consider university entrance.

Business/Government Programme As the School's Royal Charter requires, a broad range of services is offered to Britain's business and government communities most often in response to their requests for particular aspects of the School's expertise. These include the special, one-year intensive language programme in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and other languages primarily for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a wide variety of language/ briefing courses for business, and one-week intensive courses in Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese. Language and/or briefing courses designed to meet the needs of individuals and single companies are arranged on demand. (A course in international politics and diplomatic English for diplomats of Middle Eastern states is a particularly interesting development along these lines.) Discussion seminars designed to bring together academics, businessmen and government officials with a professional interest in a particular area are held regularly throughout the year. The two currently in session are the Tripartite China Seminar and the Japan and South East Asia Business Group, the latter a collaborative venture with the Department of Economic and Political Studies. Others are held on an 'as required' basis, to meet the needs of particular sponsors. Japan's increasingly powerful position in international economic life and its increasingly active involvement in international politics are reflected in the Division's work. The 'Japan Orientation Day', a training course for British executives in UK-based Japanese companies, is in its third year of operation. A new development in 1985 was a specially devised 'UK Orientation Course' for Japanese executives and trainee managers from Mitsubishi Electric (UK) Ltd.

'SOAS (University of London) Anglo-Japanese Enterprises Ltd.' The most notable development in the Japan field is, however, the new joint venture company established by the School and the Japan Art and Culture Association under the title 'SOAS (University of London) Anglo-Japanese Enterprises Ltd.'. The ventures immediate objective is to recruit able Japanese students for a specially designed one-year course at SOAS, the 'Intermediate Certificate in Comparative International Studies'. It will also select British specialist teachers of English as a Foreign Language for appointment to a wide range of organizations in Japan and develop the Division's existing Japan and UK orientation programmes for British and Japanese managers.

123 Scholarships and Prizes

Publications From time to time, funds are available under the James G R Forlong Endowment for the publication of research work on the history, religions and archaeology of Asia. Because the funds available are likely to be small in terms of present printing costs, preference will be given to works of limited size, especially those which are longer than the usual periodical article but shorter than full book length. All works published under the terms of this bequest are included in the James GR For long Fund series. The Academic Board of the School is responsible for accepting works for publication on behalf of the Royal Asiatic Society. Applications in respect of works for which publication by the Fund is sought should be made to the Registrar.

Millicent Harrington Scholarship The Millicent Harrington Scholarship was established in 1953 with funds which became available under the will of the late Mrs M H Morrison. The holder of the scholarship, which is tenable for two academic years with the possibility of extension for one further year, is required to register as a student of the School and to read for a higher degree of the University of London in Tibetan or other languages relevant to Buddhistic studies. The value of the scholarship will be not less than £120 a year. The closing date for applications is 15 January in the session preceding that for which the award is tenable. Application forms may be obtained from the Registrar during the first term of the session. Percival David Foundation Studentships From time to time, as funds become available, awards may be provided under the auspices of the Percival David Foundation.

The closing date for applications is 1 May in the session preceding that for which awards are tenable. Application forms may be obtained from the Registrar.

Prizes The following prizes may be awarded annually provided that suitable candidates are forthcoming.

Lily Y Lubran Hebrew Prize The Lily Y Lubran Hebrew Prize was founded in 1938 by Mr and Mrs Isaac Lu bran in memory of their daughter, who had been a student of the School. The income of the Trust Fund which was established is applied in providing a prize to be known as the 'Lily Y Lu bran Hebrew Prize'. The prize is awarded to the student at the School who in the opinion of the Governing Body has most distinguished him- or herself in modem Hebrew during the session.

BC Law Prize The B C Law Prize was founded in 1946 by Dr Bimala Chum Law of Calcutta and is awarded to a student of distinction in Buddhistic Studies and those oriental languages relevant to such studies, especially Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit, Tibetan, Chinese, Burmese, and Sinhalese, at the School. The prize takes the form of an award of books.

125 Scholarships and Prizes

Rhuvon Guest Prize The Rhuvon Guest Prize was founded in 1950 by Mrs Rhuvon Guest in memory of her husband. It is awarded to a student of distinction in Islamic studies.

127 Part VIII The Library

The Library has a bookstock of more than half a million volumes and receives 5,000 periodicals currently. It aims to acquire important contributinns made by Oriental and African scholars throughout the world in the humanities and social sciences as well as representative collections of literature written in Asian and African languages. While its primary function is to support the study, teaching and research of members of the School, its resources are also available to other persons both from elsewhere within the University of London and outside, whose studies would benefit from the use of its collections. The origins and scope of the Library The nucleus of the Library was formed at the time of the School's foundation by the collection of Oriental books owned by the London Institution. The University library and the libraries of University and King's Colleges transferred to the School their Oriental books (other than Hebrew and Syriac) in exchange for the Western books from the London Institution library. Foremost among these collections were the printed books and manuscripts, containing many rare editions and unique items, presented to King's College in 1835 by the Orientalist and numismatist, William Marsden. The present library accommodation has space for about one million volumes and seats for 600 readers. It was opened in 1973. Books are arranged for the most part by region; near each regional collection are the office of a specialist librarian and a reference room containing the major bibliographical and reference works for that region or subject. The approximate size of the bookstock, by region, is given below and includes material in the vernacular languages of the regions concerned as well as publications in Western languages. South Asia 70,000 South East Asia 45,000 Far East 200,000 Near and Middle East 80,000 Africa 42,000 Art 26,000 General, Social Sciences 150,000 In addition there are many thousands of microforms. The Library also has 40,000 sheet maps, and the Art Section contains 30,000 slides, 25,000 photographs and a collection of prints and drawings. Sound recordings, on disc and tape, are also held.

128 The Library

A number of significant collections have been deposited in the Archives and Manuscripts Section of the Library. Of special interest are the Library of the Council for World Mission (formerly the London Missionary Society) deposited in 1973, the papers of the Conference of British Missionary Societies, the Methodist Missionary Society, John Swire & Sons Ltd., and the China Association. Use of the Library Full details of the Library's collections and their organization, and of the services provided, are given in the printed Library Guide. This is available from the Issue Desk. There are also tape/slide presentations, one of which gives a general introduction to the Library and the other describes the use of the Library catalogues. These can be viewed on application at the Issue Desk. The Library's catalogues have been published in book form, by G K Hall; they contain a record of the holdings of the Library up to 1978. A further supplement, 1978-1984, has been produced on microfiche by the Inter Documentation Company. Card catalogues are maintained to date. These catalogues provide a means of access to the collections by author, title and subject. There is a Catalogue Enquiry Desk in the Catalogue Hall where enquiries may be referred. Self-service coin-operated photocopying machines are provided in the Library on which, subject to the terms of the Copyright Act, readers may copy their own and library material. A copying service is also available, at a higher charge; this can provide electrostatic, microfilm or photographic copies as required. Slides can also be made by the School photographer. Details of the charges for these services are available on request. Other Libraries All members of teaching staff and students at the School are entitled to membership of the main University Library in the Senate House; and access, normally for reference use only, can usually be obtained by students if necessary to the libraries of other colleges in the University such as University College, King's College and the London School of Economics. Near the School are also the libraries of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, both of which maintain important reference collections; both admit postgraduate students only. This is true for many other University libraries, although access for limited purposes can often be arranged for other students, usually by means of a University of London inter-library day ticket. (This service is not available for external members of the Library who are not members of the School.) Inter-

129 The Library

collegiate students may also be admitted to other College libraries. In general, the British Library Reference Division also only admits postgraduate students, but there are separate Students Rooms in the Department of Oriental Manuscripts and Printed Books (which may be used by undergraduates) and in the Department of Manuscripts, in addition to the General Reading Room. Access to the India Office Library and Records (now part of the British Library) can normally be arranged on the recommendation of the School's teaching staff. There are many other important society libraries in London which will often make arrangements to admit students as members, e.g. the Royal Asiatic Society, the Royal Commonwealth Society and the Royal Anthropological Institute. Students wishing to use the facilities of other university libraries in the United Kingdom during the vacations can do so on proof of identity, such as their students registration card. The resources of lc:ical public libraries should also be considered. The London Borough of Camden, in which the School's buildings stand, provides library services which include books, sound recordings, slides and pictures. There are fourteen libraries in the borough but the principal collections are at the Holborn and the Swiss Cottage libraries. These two, together with the St. Pancras library, also house the main reference collections (120,000 volumes). Each reference library has a good range of material on most subjects, augmented by more substantial collections in particular fields of study. These are allocated as follows:

Swiss Cottage Library The arts, literature, philosophy, 88 Avenue Road, NW3 psychology, local history Holborn Library Business information, economics, law, 32-38 Theobald's Road, WCl and Holborn local history St Pancras Library British Government and United 100 Euston Road, NWl Nations publications, British Standards, history, social science, and geography, including maps. Mention should also be made of the Library of the Percival David Foundation (53 Gordon Square, WCl) which contains about 5,000 works in Chinese, Japanese and European languages, dealing mainly with Far Eastern art and culture. The Library is normally open at the following times: Term and Easter Vacation: Monday-Thursday 9 am to 8 pm Friday 9 am to 6.30 pm Saturday 9.30 am to 12.30 pm.

130 The Library

Christmas and Summer Vacations: Monday-Friday 9 am to 5 pm Saturday 9.30 am to 12.30 pm The Library will be closed for the period Saturday, 21 December 1985 to Wednesday, 1 January 1986 inclusive; for the period Maundy Thursday to Easter Monday inclusive; on the May Day Bank Holiday and the preceding Saturday; on the Spring Bank Holiday and the preceding Saturday; and on the Late Summer Holiday and the preceding Saturday.

Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art

53 Gordon Square, WClH OPD. Tel: 01-387 3909 The Foundation The Foundation houses a collection of Chinese ceramics and a library of Chinese and Western books dealing with Chinese art and culture. Both were presented to the University of London in 1950 by the late Sir Percival David. The Foundation exists to promote the study and teaching of the art and culture of China and of the surrounding regions. Its collection and facilities provide a centre for teaching in this field undertaken by the School of Oriental and African Studies, of which it is an integral part for academic purposes. The custody of the collection is vested in the Governing Body of the School of Oriental and African Studies, which administers the Foundation on behalf of the University.

The Collection The David Collection numbers about fifteen hundred pieces of Chinese ceramics of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many of them are documented by records of their finding or other circumstances of their history. Numerous inscribed pieces impart to the collection a special importance in the history of ceramic art. Some of the porcelains have been in the possession of Chinese emperors. Poems and historical notes from the brush of the emperor Qianlong appear on a number of pieces: others, inscribed with dates and names at the time of their manufacture, are historical documents of the first importance. In the wares of the Song period the collection is exceptionally strong in Ru, Ding, Jun, Guan and the Longquan celadons. Among the last named group are pieces of great documentary, historical and technical importance, one specimen of exceptional quality bearing an inscription of the 14th century. The collection of the justly famous blue and white wares of Jingdezhen includes not only the earliest dated pieces, a pair of temple vases dateable to AD 1351, but also a fine range of the wares of the 15th century. Polychrome wares of great variety are well represented from the 15th century onward and include a valuable group of the refined 18th century type known by the name Guyuexuan.

136 Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art

In 1952, a gift of fine monochrome porcelains, mainly dateable to the 18th century, was made to the University by the late Hon Mountstuart Elphinstone. This gift has added to the interest of the collection by broadening the representation of the later wares.

The object of the Institute is to further the study of contemporary China in the United Kingdom. In pursuance of this aim, it sponsors research on various aspects of the politics, economy and society of China since 1919, and especially since 1949. The results of the work carried on by the Fellows and other persons associated with the Institute are incorporated in a series of volumes published on behalf of the Institute by the Cambridge University Press. The Institute also publishes The China Quarterly, the leading journal in the field of modern Chinese studies, and Research Notes and Studies, a monograph series. By granting financial support to Fellows, the Institute provides them with the opportunity to complete their training, thus contributing to the human resources available in the United Kingdom for research in this field. It maintains a link between specialists on contemporary China from British and European universities; it operates an academic exchange scheme with universities in the United States which have a high level of interest in research on China, and hosts scholars and liaises with institutions from other parts of the world. It is the established policy of the Institute to participate actively in the development of cultural exchanges between the Chinese People's Republic and the United Kingdom. The Institute draws into its activities persons in business, government, journalism and other fields who are interested in China and have valuable first-hand experience of China today, and it sponsors conferences and activities that enable teachers in schools, colleges of education and polytechnics to keep in touch with the field of Chinese studies.
