Asian History Honours

Discussing the matter of the Asian History option proposed to College professorial Boards, as a part of the syllabus for the History honours papers, Mr. M. J. O'Brien of resident executive, NZUSA, stated that all colleges had indicated that, although they were in favour of the scheme, and the scheme was desirable, the University of New Zealand lacked both the trained staff and the library facilities for teaching Asian history at all.

More money would be needed by the University before any such subject could be taught at the College level. There was also some dissension on the question of which was more desirable, study of the translated documents (or study) of the originals. The latter would involve considerable expense.
