India's UN Advisor Here To Teach 'Upsurge In Asia'
Dr. Amiya Chakravarty, official adviser to the Indian delegation to the United Nations the past year, will teach "Upsurge in Asia" this fall, a new one-hour course similar to last year's "World in Crisis" series.
"We are most fortunate to obtain Dr. Chakravarty to continue our practice of having guest lecturers from other lands," Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College said.
"The World in Crisis' course last fall was such a success with students, faculty members, and townpeople in Lawrence and other cities that we wanted another course of a similar sort this fall. It seemed to us that the tremendous events of recent years in Asia and the relationship of their problems to the rest of the world made it highly desirable that we have a course on Asia. Dr. Chakravarty is well qualified to offer a course.
"The course will cover the present situation in India, China, Japan, Korea, and southeast Asia, countries now in the limelight of public attention. Dr. Chakravarty is a personal friend of Premier Nehru of India and knows intimately the position of India and the rest of Asia in the U.N. and the world." Dean Lawson said.
Dr. Chakravararty's lectures, open to all students and the public, will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays in Fraser theater. The course will count for one hour of credit in Field A (History) or Field B (Social Science) in Division 3. In the College it will count as freshman-sophomore credit for freshmen and sophomores, and junior-senior credit for juniors and seniors, Dean Lawson said. The grade on the final and the attendance records will determine grades in the course.
