Administrative History The Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) was established in 1925 as a private non-partisan forum for the promotion of mutual understanding amongst nations of the Pacific Rim through discussion, research, and education. The IPR's programmes of conferences, research projects, publications, and its quarterly journal Pacific Affairs contributed to the interchange of information in the field of Asian Studies. The Institute conducted its affairs through autonomous national councils, each represented on the Pacific Council, the international governing body which directed the IPR's programmes. The International Secretariat, the Pacific Council's administrative organ, was based in Hawaii until it moved to New York in 1933. The American IPR was of particular importance to the organization due in part to its substantial financial contributions; it also carried out its own programmes of research, conferences, and publishing, the latter including Far Eastern Survey. The non-partisan status of the IPR was challenged in the early 1950's when the United States Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws (the McCarran Subcommittee) alleged that it was open to communist influences. In addition, in 1952 former Pacific Affairs editor Owen Lattimore was later indicted for perjury before the subcommittee. Although neither charge could be substantiated, the charges resulted in a loss of credibility which seriously impaired the operation of the Institute. Finally, the IPR lost its tax-exempt status as an educational body in 1955 and was forced to wage a five-year battle to have it restored. The final judgement in 1959 affirmed that, contrary to the allegation of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in 1955, the Institute had not engaged in the dissemination of controversial and partisan propaganda, and had not attempted to influence the policies or opinions of any government or government officials. The various legal battles, despite their favourable outcomes for the IPR, left the Institute completely depleted of funds and it dissolved in 1960. William L. Holland, who served as Secretary-General of the IPR, came to the University of British Columbia later that year to serve as head of the newly-created Department of Asian Studies. Custodial History Materials held in the University Archives consist of records processed during three separate accruals. The first, processed in 1981, consists of records gathered for use by William L. Holland by the IPR staff when the New York office was dismantled, as it was his task to wind up the affairs of the organization and transfer the publication of Pacific Affairs to UBC. The second accrual was processed in 1990 and the third in 1996. The exact provenance of the materials in Boxes 59-64 was lost in the process of their selection and removal by William Holland from New York to UBC. Scope and Content The fonds consists of correspondence, minutes of meetings, manuscripts, annual reports and financial records relating to the activities of the Institute of Pacific Relations, in particular William Holland's varied roles as IPR Research Secretary, AIPR Executive Secretary, IPR Secretary-General, and Editor of Pacific Affairs. Also included are court documents, transcripts, reports and publications relating to the investigations of the IPR and its staff completed by the United States government, including photocopies of F.B.I. files, reports of the McCarran Subcommittee, and publications of the Special Committee to Investigate Tax Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations. Arranged in eight series: Publications, Correspondence, Annual Reports, Financial, IPR Conferences, Senate Investigation, Tax Evasion Court Case, and Miscellaneous. Idiosyncracies in the assignment of series between accruals have not been corrected.

IPR records are also held by the University of Hawaii, the Hoover Institution Library at Stanford, and the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley.

  • China: a Resource Unit for Secondary Schools
    Prepared originally by a group of prospective social studies teachers at Brooklyn College and edited by Professor Leonard S. Kenworthy. AFFAIRS MATERIALS Brooklyn College Brooklyn I 0, N. Y. Revised Edition: 1959 p.l Resource Unit on China for Secondary Schools Introduction China is in the news today--and will undoubtedly be in the news for years (or centuries ) to come. It is the world's largest nation, with approximately 650 million per­ sons--or about one person in every four on our globe. In size it is the world's lecond largest country-­ next to the U.S.S.R. in total area and larger than Canada, Brazil, and the U.S.A. It is a country with nearly 4000 years of history and of great contributions in many fields to the world. In this vast land there is a revolution underway today which is political, social, and economic in nature. This revolution has caused the rest of the world to watch China with interest--and in some cases with great concern. Certainly the repurcussions of this revolution are being felt all over the world. Furthermore, the fact that the communist government of China has not been recognized by the United States and has not been admitted to the United Nations and its specialized agencies has provoked heated and bitter discussions around the globe. These questions are still being debated and dis­ cussed and will be for some time to come. What happens in China is of profound interest to the rest of the world. It is a country which needs to be studied in secondary schools throughout the United States.

  • Southeast Asia Program
    SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAM FALL • 1994 BULLETIN • 0 ,., SEAP ARCHIVE COPY ' DO NOT REMOVE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, This has been a year of many changes in the Southeast Asia Program, some of them sad and others happy. First, the news that is both sad and happy. Randolph Barker's term as director came to an end, and I was elected to take his place as director. At the same time that Randy stepped down, Helen Swank retired. Many of us think of her affectionately as an institution coterminous with the Southeast Asia Program, and after thirty-three years it is hard to conceive of the office without her. Her place was taken by Nancy Stage. Nancy brings back home to Ithaca a range of experience in fund-raising and development from her previous work in Colorado. Helen is a hard act to follow, but Nancy's intelligence and sparkle keep the office an exciting and pleasant place to work or visit. We also had some losses among our faculty. We are sad to announce the passing of two of our most beloved colleagues, Lauriston Sharp and Milton Barnett. Both Lauri and Milt were active in the Southeast Asia Program until a short time before their deaths. Their careers and contributions to SEAP are outlined in the following pages. To honor Lauri, in 1975 we established the Lauriston Sharp Prize for the most outstanding thesis in Southeast Asian studies at Cornell. Winners of this prize have become top scholars in their fields and are active in universities throughout the country.

  • Chapter Twelve in Retirement
    CHAPTER TWELVE IN RETIREMENT In June, 1939, and at the age of 76 Jefferson entered retirement. Not heavy and bowed with the weight of years, he wished to continue his employ and keep himself busy, "to have work to do and reasons to live for." The man did busy himself for the next ten years, though he was obliged to shift the locus of his commitment from the classroom to matters beyond. Perhaps it was a wishful thinking that made Jefferson insist he had good classroom years still before him: at this age he readily admitted he fell asleep with light provocation, needed a nap after lunch, had taken lip reading lessons as a one-man class from the Normal's Miss Bunger as early as 1937, and by 1939 found a hearing aid desirable. Nevertheless he continued his daily constitutional--Dne mile a day on foot--until the year of his death, 1949. Annually be­ tween 1942 and 1946 he painted parts of his spacious home and other­ wise cared for the establishment: twice he turned his car over on the nearby Jackson road, escaping injury and refusing medical attention. Certainly age had not incapacitated him, though he was obliged to temper his more robust inclinations. In place of manually shovelling the snow from his sidewalks and house paths he employed a snow scooter on wheels. In place of the winter daily mile before breakfast, he would wait until a later hour when it was warmer. Further, a heavy blue serge suit and Alaska seal hat, gifts from two of his children, Geoffrey and Phoebe, and halibut liver oil capsules taken daily were pieces of an armory he employed against the winters of the forties, which he had not adopted previously.
