306 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1956)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0306 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD The papers presented in this volume are those read at the Sixtieth Annual Meet- ing of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, held on April 20 and 21, at the Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia. The general subject of the sessions, Africa and the Western World, proved to be timely indeed and, although it was impossible to deal adequately with all the problems of importance in the vast and strategic continent of Africa, that the facets chosen for discussion were appropriate was evident from the large number of favorable comments by those in attendance. The meeting brought together about two hundred members of the Academy and about three hundred delegates and observers from government agencies, educa- tional institutions, and international, national, state, or local associations. The general subject of the sessions was selected by the Board of Directors of the Academy, and in the preparation of the program, several members of the Board were helpful, especially Professor Norman D. Palmer and Mr. Otto T. Mallery. Among others who rendered valuable advice special mention should be made of Professor William O. Brown, Director of the African Research and Studies Pro- gram of Boston University, Professor Benjamin Rivlin of Brooklyn College, and Drs. Ralph J. Bunche and Heinz Wieschhoff of the Secretariat of the United Nations. The chairmen of five of the six sessions of the meeting, who deftly managed the discussion periods which followed all but the last session, were President Horace M. Bond of Lincoln University, Professor Douglas V. Steere of Haverford College, President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University, Dr. Ruth C. Sloan of Wash- ington, D. C., and Dr. James C. Charlesworth, President of the Academy. THORSTEN SELLIN vii
