0224 The Western coast. I had no time to visit the Western states, but I know some of the sinologues, partly personally, partly by their writings. Boodberg is intelligent and well-read in Chinese, but very eccentric in his ideas and methods. Lessing (now olå) is a thoroughly learned man, The best in my opinion is O.Mänchen-Helfen (recently come to Berkeley'from Mills College) who is an excellent sinologue with strict methods and good ideas. Chinese ;seholars: By for the most prominent, both as scholers and as persons, sre the three Chao Yuen-ren (Berkeley), Li Fang-kuei (this spring in Harvard, now moving over to Yale) and Lo Ch'ang-p"ei (Yale, now returning to China). It would be highly desirable that Lo, after some tire in China, had the opportunity of going to Europe for a year to fisish several important research works, which he has half-ready. A founth man, just as good but younger, is professor Ting Sheng-shu, of the Acedemia Sinica in Nanking, who was in Harvard for private studies and 1s now golng back to China. He will be a quite leading research man and it would be highly useful if he could go to Europe for continued broadening of his background. Another scholar Yang Lien-sheng (Harvard) is also quite good though hardly comparable to the preceding, Professor Tung Tsoppin (Chicago) e charming scholar of the old Chinese type, is a very learned specialist. - In China (not yet employed abroad), some promising younger sinologues are Chang Cheng-lang and Chou Tsu=no, both professors in Peking National University. Stockholm, July 17th, 1948. Bernhard Karlgren

0320 moranduma Ky personal impressions from my visits to some principel es of Chinese studies are tne following: New York: I Goodrich in Cblucbla a very nice ind Wwell<införned men seams not very pushing |as a research-man and a teacher. Tne younger assistant professor Wilbur is promising (has published a serious and valuable historical research volume). The library has a good funda- mental equipment, but cannot in any way compare with Harvard or Washington. In New York university, Professor Roswell Britton is a narrow specialist. In Brooklyn, professor Orient Li goes more in the elexentary style. The Chinese study materials in the Ketropolitan museum contain much of high value, but are not, on the whole comparable to those in Harvard and Boston, in Washington, in Chicago, in Kansas City or in Minneapolis. New Haven: Professor Kennedy was in China, so I did not meet him. I know him from his writings, wnich are good without being remarkable. I hardly think he will ever be a sinologue of the highest class. But kis teaching of modern spoken Chinese appears to be highly effect ive, and his modern methods quite striking. His replacer professor Kok struck me as an excellent organizer. Professor S.Gardner, though I was told he is not a very interesting teacher, is an ex- cellent bibliographer and an unusually well-equipped and widely read

le 0323 not a great writer, The Field Museum has importent meterisls for certain historidal periods, Kansas City The Gallery of Art has a very remarkable section of Chinese art, one of the very best in U.S.A. The curator, L.Sick- man, 18 a elever, pushing and practical man, with a good knowledge of Chinese and a great aptitude for museum work. He is really one of the most promising men I met. nneapolis: The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, very ably managed by Russell A.Plimpton (who, though not a specialist on China, has a very good judgment of Chinese åt objects) nas one of the most re- markable collections of early Chinese bronzes existing. Toronto: The teaching of Far Eastern subjects in the university is very elementary, in no way comparable to that in Harvard or Yale. (Best the courses on Chinese art by Miss Fernald). The study materi- als in the archaeological museum are very comprehensive. Unlike the collections in U.S.A. which all go in for a few specimens of the rything, beautiful and ugly, broken and well-preserved specimens, 1llustrating highest artistic quality, the Toronto Museum has collected evolutionary series. In this respect it is the most comprehensive and complete outside China, and highly instructive.

0321 man. Professor Kahder is quite learned but, I believe, somewhat unpractical, The young professor Davidson (Chinese art) has not shown any serious scholarship in his writings, and I do not expect much from him. Among the advanced students, I found lir. Nicholas Bodman and Mr, James Crump very promising. Cambridge: Besides professor Elisseeff, an exceedingly skilled japano- logue with a good background of western philology, who is mostly swallowed up by his administrative tasks, there are professor Cleaves and professor Reischauer, who both are really good. Particularly Cleaves, who, I believe, will be the leeding scholar of U.S.A. in tnis field. I do not expect much from professor Ware, Tne art-historian Rowland is a solid man. Among promising advanced students I should like to mention Richard Thomas, David Nisison and Howard Hibbit. The library (ably managed by K'el ming Ch"1u) is really excellent, having very comprehensive collections in both Chinese and Japanese, Though not quite so extensive as Washington, it is more systematically built up, and easily accessible. Probably the best working library existing outside Chine and Japan. The study materials in the Fogg Museum and the Nuseum of Fine Arts in Boston are of the very highest class. Along with the Freer in Washington they are the finest collections of Chinese art outside the Far East. Pbilsdelphi: Professor Derk Bodde, an able scholar, was away, and I could form no very elear opinion of the Far Eastern studies in P.

-3- 0323 Baltimore: Tnough no teaching or sinology proper (langusge and litera- ture) is given there, some very useful general courses are given by professor Owen Lattimore, an excellent man, and his assistent profes- sor De Francis, whom I did not see fficently long to form any nion about. Washington D.C The Library of Congress has a splendid Chinese collection (I hed not sufficient time to form an opinion of the Japanese one). It is much easier to consult than for instance the Bibliothåque Natio- nale in Paris, and it gives a research worker practically all he can need. Its chief, Dr. Hummel, is a fine scholar and & clever and practical man. The art collections in the Freer Gallery are hors de concours for quality, and quite comprehensive. The curator Wenley a solid scholar of good judgment. Pätneeton: The Gest library is a valuable and comprehensive fundament, but should be largely added to. Chicago: 3 Professor Creel has gained much during the last few years än experience and balance. He is a very clever man, perhaps with a somewhat weak background. He made a very good impression as a leader of the Far Eastern studies and was ably seconded by Dr. Edward Kracke. A good beginning of a working library. A promising advanced student 18 Charles Hucker. The study materials in the Art Institute are of a very high class and quite extensive (they seem to me comparable with those in Boston), and Kr. Kelley is a good warden - a fine art expert though

om Stockholm, July 16th, 1948. John Marshall Esq., Associate Director of The Rockefeller Foundation, 19 West l9th Street, New York 20, Dear Yr, Marshall, During our interview shortly before I left U.S.A. you told me that it would be convenient for you if I wrote down some of the names and facts we discussed, and in consequence I wish to submit to you this short memorandun, which of course is very subjective and confidential. I take täls opportunity of thanking you once more for the wonderful means your Foundation has given me to see and observe and learn so much in U.3.A. and Canada, The advance of Far Eastern studies achieved during the last ten years in your parts of the world is indeed astounding. Hy wife joins with me in sending you, Mr.D'Arms and Mrs. Fhompson our hearty thanks and best regards. Sincerely yours
