AMPLIFICATIONS

The following Information is provided to assist personsinterested in CMW's activities, if there should be any. Entriesare arranged according to the . seauence of t n e accompanylist "of files, and thereunder roughly according to date when theactivity began. Materials will appear in the files.

BOXES-11 - 27' CORRESPONDENCE, INSTITUTIONAL & TOPICAL.

Institute of Pacific Relations. CMW had long been asubscriber to IPR publications and thus, presumably, a "member."In 1944 he attended an IPR international congress at Hot Springs,Virginia, and in October 1954, while in Japan, he attended acongress held in Kyoto. In 1956 (?) the IPR was denied tax-exemptstatus by the IR^)—a victim of the McCarthy and McCarrenaccusations. CMW became a defender of the IPR in the court case,and joined the Board of the American IPR in about 1959. Althoughthe IPR won its case against the IRS in the courts, by that time(about 19 60 ?) the IPR was bankrupt and had to fold. CMW wasinvolved in getting the IPR files deposited in Columbia's SpecialCollections Manuscript Library.

Far Eastern Association, later renamed Association for AsianStudies . CMW was elected to the Board of the Association in 1948at its foundation; served as Treasurer from about 1951; becameSecond Vice~ President in 1969 and President in 1971-72. He alsoserved in a couple of constitution revision committees and inother capacities.

INDUSCO (American Committee -."for Chinese IndustrialCooperatives). This was aChinese wartime self-help organizationfounded by Rewi Alley, Edgar and Peggy Snow, and leftist Chinesecolleagues. INDUSCO raised money in American and sent it to theorganization in China. CMW became a member of the Board ofDirectors at the request of Ida Pruitt, an old friend, in February.1949 and resigned in March 1952 after an operation for rupturedulcer. By then INDUSCO was virtually defunct, partly as a resultof the war in Korea and mutual hostility between the twocountries. He was instrumental in having the files preserved inColumbia's Special Collections Manuscript Library as a valuablehistorical source on wartime China.

Council on Foreign Relations. A member of the council fromabout 1952 till, say, 1970. Participated in a study session onChina, and contributed a chapter to a book published by theCouncil and Harpers Brothers in 1957, entitled Japan between Eastand West.

Current Chinese Publications. In 1952/53 CMW was active in a B o x 1 3self-appointed committee of modern China spec ia l i s t s hoping toorganize a journal to translate and disseminate materials fromthe Chinese mainland, which were d i f f icu l t of access at that time.I t would be modelled on a translation service for Soviet Russia.The e f fo r t consumed much time but the service was never funded.

Asia Foundation. During sabbatical 1954/55 when CMW travelled B o x i:Lin southern Asia he contacted several Asia Foundation offices, B o x 2owhich were helpful in his research on China's-influences on i t sneighbors . During sabbatical in 1961/62 he became acquainted withthe Asia Foundation in Taipei. He suggested the foundation support *publ ica t ion of scholarly books in the humanities and the socialsciences by younger Chinese. As a resu l t the foundation created"The China Committee for Publication and Prize Awards" in 1962,which arranged for the publication of some 50 Chinese works in teny e a r s .

Foreign Area Fellowship Program. In 1955 CMW was invited tobecome a member of the committee judging applicants for B o x ^the fellowship program financed by the Ford Foundation, which sentAmerican graduate students to Asia (and elsewhere) to study , ,language and work on the i r d isser ta t ions . He served for threeyea r s , which Involved much travel in the U.S.

I n s t i t u t e of Modern History. Academla Slnlca r R.O.C. CMW'sr e l a t i o n s with the IMH began in the la te 50s when The East AsianI n s t i t u t e ' s Chinese Oral History Program began to ass i s t a similar Box 15program in Taiwan, sending $1,000 each year to Professor Kuo Ting- BOX 2Uyee, Director of IMH, for uses that would fac i l i t a te hisI n s t i t u t e ' s oral his tory work among Chinese of note. Copies oft h a t work were deposited in Columbia's Special Collections. (Theadminis t ra t ive f i l es of the Chinese Oral History Project are inColumbia's Rare Book and Manuscript Library together with ther e s u l t i n g oral his tory memoirs and documents gathered.)

In 1961 when CMW was on sabbatical in Taiwan, the Inst i tuteof Modern History served as his academic sponsor and providedresearch space and introductions. As a resul t of his closeconnection with IMH, he was able to serve as an intermediary inthe negotiations for a five year grant ( later extended for fivemore years) from the Ford Foundation to IMH for i t s development.An element of the grant was the sending of young Chinese scholarsfrom the Ins t i tu te to American, European, and Japanese centersof Chinese studies in major universi t ies for a year offami l ia r iza t ion , but not for an advanced degree. Four scholarsfrom IMH came to Columbia, as did a few others from Taiwan, anda l l were under CMW'f guidance. Hence, many close friendshipsdeveloped.

Social Science Research Council. In the 1950s the FordFoundation was moving toward extensive promotion of Chinese Box ITs t u d i e s . Primarily on the ini t iat ive of John Fairbank, but with Box 27CMW as one of three convenors, American scholars specializing in

modern China met in June 1959 a t Gould House to consider whatmust be done to s t imu la t e and f a c i l i t a t e the study of contemporaryChina, which was v i r t u a l l y closed to American scholarship , butwhich had obvious world importance. As an outcome of tha tconfernece the Ford Foundation made a grant to be administered bythe Soc i a l Science Research Council for a Jo in t Committee onContemporary China (The " j o i n t " r e fe r r ing to the American Councilof Learned S o c i e t i e s ) . CMW was a member of tha t committee duringi t s formative years when i t la id ou t .po l i cy and planned for themost e f f e c t i v e use of funds ava i l ab l e . The committee became themodel for many more area s tud ies committees es tabl ished under SSRCand ACLS, t h e r e a f t e r . 1

In l a t e 1962 CMW became a member of a Committe on Exchangeswi th Asian I n s t i t u t i o n s under SSRC auspices and using a FordFoundat ion g ran t , with the purpose of sending American scholars toJapan and Taiwan to r e e s t a b l i s h contact with local schola rs . Thiswent on for about f ive y e a r s , and many American scholars had theo p p o r t u n i t y for a r e f r e she r year in Taiwan or Japan.

In t he above a c t i v i t i e s , CMW had to t r ave l qui te a b i t form e e t i n g s , and had to judge of the meri ts of various proposals .

Kuomintana Archives. In 1962 Mr. Lo Chia-lun admitted CMWt o use the Kuomintang Archives, a t t ha t time held in a farmhouseo u t s i d e the c i t y of Taichung, which he did for several days each Mention inweek, journeying down by t r a i n on Sunday evening, and returning to reprintTa ipe i l a t e on Thursday afternoon. This began a long associa t ion Box 79with s e v e r a l d i r e c t o r s , and with two Chinese researchers , ChiangYung-ching and Li Yun-han. Both l a t e r came to Columbia onf e l l o w s h i p s , and both have dis t inguished car re rs as scholar-t e a c h e r s . The f i r s t s c h o l a r l y books of each were given prizes andpub l i shed by the committee which CMW suggested the Asia Foundationt o s e t up and finance (see above).

The Asia Socie ty . CMW was invited to be a Trustee in June B o x 1 21962 and asked to be re l i eved in 1967 when he was to leave fors a b b a t i c a l in Hawaii. The work of a Trustee was far from arduous. Box 21

Shanghai American School. In 19 63 CMW became a member andsoon chairman of the Board of Trustees of t h i s school from whichhe had greauated in 1927. The property of the school was taken by Box 16the P e o p l e ' s Republic of China, but was an asset tha t would enteri n t o any f i na l se t t l ement of claims between the US and the PRC. Soours was a holding opera t ion . We met once a year, under theguidance of our Sec re ta ry , Wallace Merwin. A. Doak Barnett wasano the r t r u s t e e . The Board finished i t s business and terminated inJanuary 1968, tu rn ing the school ' s a s se t s over to an inter-missionboard , s ince much of the orginal financing for the school had comefrom miss ion boards in the United S t a t e s .

China I n s t i t u t e In America. In 1963, CMW became a member ofthe Awards Committee which judged appl ica t ions of Chinese studentsin Taiwan for grants to study in the United S ta tes . The funds came B o x 1 3

from the C.T. Loo Educational Foundation. The grant program eniedin 1966.

China Institute in America Box 13The C.T. Loo Educational Foundation. CMW became a member of

the Board of Trustees, but forgets exactly when. The foundation B o x 2^had been set up by a wealthy Chinese art dealer at the persuasionof Mr. Chih Meng, director of the China Institute in America, whowas president of the Foundation. The Trustees were mostly hisfriends. The most enjoyable relationship was with Mrs. Maurice T.Moore (Beth), wife of the Chairman of Columbia University's Boardof Trustees and the sister of Henry Luce, who had bought i tsbuilding for the China Institute. Eventually the Trustees had to,"disolve the foundation—I think that happened—for I resigned inconscience over the way Mr. Meng was trying to use the money.

American Council of Learned Societies. A Joint Committee ofACLS and SSRC was financed by the Ford Foundation with the purpose B o x 11

of fostering cooperation in the humanities and social sciences B o x 1°between scholars in the United States and Taiwan. Fred Burkhardt, B o x 1 ^President of ACLS, . headed the American, group, of which I was a B o x 2 0

member. We travelled several times, in alternate years, to Taiwanto meet with senior scholars to determine how each might assistthe other in scholarship there, though we had l i t t l e money topass on. We also wished the support of our counterpart comm-i t t ee in facil i tating work of American scholars in Taiwan in threefields— 1) The broad area of traditional sinological studies,i . e . history, l i terature, philosophy, ar t , etc. ; 2)anthropological and sociological field studies of contemporarySociety in Taiwan; and 3) we asked the Chinese side to try tomake available to American scholars the archival results ofintelligence gathering on the Chinese Communist Party and onrecent developments on the mainland. The f irst two were readilyassented to, and many American humanists and social scientistshave done fruitful work in Taiwan over the years. The lastrequest presented a problem for our hosts because even they, asscholars, weren't given such access."" As a solution, the Chineseside decided to organize a conference on Mainland China Problemsat which American scholars would meet with Chinese analysts ofmainland affairs. These conferences have gone on year after year,and I attended most of them up to about 1982. Archival access wasalso granted to a few American scholas.

Inter-university Chinese Language Study in Taiwan. In about1964 CMW became a member of the Board, representing Columbia, of ^th is program managed by Stanford University (hence, usually called ^"the Stanford Program"). The program aimed to give intensive,year-long training in Chinese to American students under competent o x ^Paking-speaking Chinese teachers in Taipei. The school was umderpolicy direction of eight (later ten) American graduate schoolswith Chinese language programs. The Board met once a year, oftenat Stanford, to select a director and try to solve any problemsthat came up. It solicited funds from foundations such as Carneigeand Ford, and later , I believe, from NDFL. An admitance andfellowship committee judged the quality of applicants. The school

is an outstanding success. CMW served t i l l about 1973, succeed byProfessor Hans Bielenstein as Columbia's representative.

Chinese Cultural Center. This is an offshoot of theNationalist Chinese Information Service, and CMW became a member Box 13of the Board in about 1965 (?). In 1974 he became chairman of afellowship committee which granted fellowships for a few American Box 23scholars to study in Taiwan. This lasted t i l l 1977. In 1984 hebecame chairman of the Board of the Chinese Cultural Center.

American Historical Association. A long-time member of thisassociation, CMW became a member of the John King Fairbank Prize .?Committee in 1971-72. Unpon retirement in 1976, he gave up his Box 20membership in the association.

CMW joined the Columbia faculty in July 1947 as AssociateProfessor of Chinese History and a member of the Department ofChinese and Japanese (later renamed the Department of East AsianLanguages and Cultures), his department of administration. He wasalso a member of the History Department. Correspondence pertainingto these departments is in ' In 1957 he was appointedProfessor and in 1965 appointed George Sansom Professor of ChineseHistory. He retired from the University in 1976 after 29 years ofteaching, with the t i t l e George Sansom Professor Emeritus ofChinese History. Files pertaining to his Columbia relationships,other than teaching and resesearch, are in these Cartons.

In 1948 he became a founding member of the East AsianIns t i tu te in the School of International Affairs. In 1957 he wasappointed Director of the East Asian Institute in succession toSir George Sansom and Professor Hugh Borton, holding the positionfor six years. The files in may contribute to a historyof the Inst i tute , though they seem not to contain matterspertaining to his directorship, which may be in some Instituecentral f i l es .

In September 1957, CMW, as Initiator, together with SearleBates, Howard Boorman, Morton Fried, Franklin Ho, and James Morleyas convenors, organized a University Seminar on Modern East Asiawith sections on China and Japan. Both sections have continued tothe present (1988) with wide memberships, and are managed by theEast Asian Inst i tute . Some files pertaining to the Modern ChinaSeminar are in

CMW usually taught or participated in three graduate courseseach semester. One was a graduate lecture course on Chinesehistory from approximately 1600 to 1950. A second was a graduatecolloquium and .seminar on Twentieth Century China, with emphasis

on social history. He participated in a one-semester Chinesebibliography course with Professors Carrington Goodrich and Mr.C.C. Wang, and in a joint lecture course on Japan and China givenby Institute faculty members, displaying various social scienceapproaches to the subjects. From these courses there developedvarious masters theses and doctoral dissertations.

SUBJECT FILES' RESEARCH PROJECTS DIRECTED, Boxes 57 - 66 -

CMW was greatly interested in the history of the ChineseCommunist Movement, which was coming to power about the same timeas he arrived at Columbia. Thus, he instituted a search of theholdings of the East Asian Library to learn what was available.This resulted in Chinese Sources on the History of the ChineseCommunist Movement: an annotated bibliography of materials in theEast Asiatic Library of Columbia University. Edited by him, it wasreproduced for private distribution by the East Asian Institute asNo. 1 in the Institutes series of studies, and sent to scholarsand libraries with an interest in modern China.

In the summer of 1950 CMW wrote a prospectus for research onthe history of the Chinese Communist Movement, outlining questionsworthy of research in the light of his then knowledge. Thisprospectus, 50 pages, .. • . . . . , With the approval of theInstitute's Executive Committee and with modest financing from theInstitute's research funds, he organized a research project,hiring as an assistant a brilliant graduate student, Ms. JulieLien-ying How, beginning in March 1951. Both CMW and Ms. How madetrips to Washington to do research in the Library of Congress orin the National Archives, and their bibliographic notes are inBox 6k • CMW also commissioned Mr. Ichiro Shirato to searchColumbia's Japanese collections and those in the Library ofCongress for a Bibliography of Japanese Sources on the ChineseCommunist Movement. which CMW edited and the Institute publishedin 1953.

In the early 1950s there were many unemployed Chinesein te l l ec tua l s who had fled from the People's Republic of China.Congress voted a fund to be used for their temporary employmentun t i l they could become settled in occupations of their own.Through the good offices of the State Department and ColumbiaUniversity, our project was able to employ three of thesegentlemen, Mr. Jennings Wong, Mr. King-ching Wang, and Mr. SeymourCheng, for several years. They translated documents on theearly history of the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party,with Ms. How making the document selections and correcting theirinadequate English. Some of the the results of their work are in•Boxes 57-66- / never published.

Directing these projects required much time in consultations,and much administrative correspondence. This correspondence,and annual reports, with accounts, for the Ins t i tu te ' s Executive Box 58Committee, are in : - ' ? 1 .

In addition to the two bibliographies, the major result ofthe project was a book entitled, Documents on Communism,Nationalism, and Soviet Advisers in China. 1918-1927: Papers fromthe Peking Raid, by C.
