W. C. Historians Cite
Reasons For Course
On Asia Civilizations
BY A. A. WILKINSON
"Americans have taken so little
trouble to understand other peo-ple
and we often reveal our Ig-norance
about them, yet we can't
understand why they don't like
ua."
With this observation, Dr. Lenolr
C. Wright. Woman's College his-torian
and Asian specialist, cites
one reason for the appearance
this fall of a new course in the
WC curriculum, Asia Civilizations,
which he will teach.
"We need In this country to
know more about how other peo-ples
live, think, and feel." Dr.
Wright declared. "This fact has
been underscored recently In Afri-ca
and South America, and Is par-ticularly
important regarding Asia
where one-third of the world's
population live In one-fourth of
the world's land."
Dr. Wright has lived for extend-ed
periods in Asia and other
parts of the world, but in special
preparation for the new WC course
he spent the past •academic year
at University of Michlgsn at Ann
Arbor on a Carnegie grant to ob-serve
the basic course In Asia
Civilization there. He also visited
last summer In Jspan.
"American colleges snd univer-sities
are stirring with new activi-ty
In the Asian studies field. It Is
ten years late, but better late than
never," Dr. Wright declared.
"This rising Interest In Asian
studies," he says, "shouldn't be
regarded as strategic In character,
merely on the basis of the pressure
nf Immediate world events It Is
stressed because of a desire to
understand other peoples and In
recognition that we can learn
much from those with so rich a
heritage of culture and art."
The new WC course, to be open
lo sophomores and upperclassmen.
has been In the planning stage
for seversl yesrs as part of a long-range
program to extend Asian
studies.
Other colleges and universities
of the area are going forward with
their Aalan studies. Dr. Wright
points out. Wake Forest has un-dertaken
an extensive program,
along with Sweet Briar, Lynch-burg,
and Randolph-Macon. At
Duke and Carolina, Asisn special-ists
are working together co-oper-atively.
With the assistance of a grant
from the Asia Society of New
York City, WC is building up its
library resources In the field. Lsst
year four Aalan experts under
Asian Society sponsorship visited
the campus to make auggestlons
about developing the program.
During the coming year In con-nection
with Dr. Wright's courae
students will see many Asian doc-
