“Soviet-American Academic Exchanges, 1958-1975”
The major source for this volume has been my experience with the Inter-University Committee from 1956 until May 1969. I also benefited greatly from my relationships over those years with the ACLS, the Foreign Area Fellowship Program, the Ford Foundation, and the National Academy of Sciences. I have had many long talks with those Americans who studied in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, with participants in all the varied exchange programs, with officials of our government and of the Soviet government, and with those who have helped administer the responsible British and German organizations. I have discussed academic and cultural exchanges on many campuses in this country and in Western and Eastern Europe, and I have attended countless national and international conferences devoted to Soviet-American relations in general and to this aspect in particular.
Two conferences have proved especially helpful. One, in Suffern, New York, in 1964, brought together those who directed academic exchange programs in all the countries of Western Europe. Another, in Salzburg in November 1973, which Indiana University and the United States Information Agency together organized, provided quantities of information and insight from a number of those responsible for exchange programs in nine Western countries, as well as specialists on exchanges in fields such as medicine, journalism, radio and television, music, film, and religion. The papers and discussions from this second conference have been especially valuable.
Docimentary materials were most important sources. I have reviewed carefully the voluminous records of the Inter-University Committee, which included applications; reports of participants; correspondence; Committee reports to the universities, the Ford Foundation, and the Department of State; and records of the meetings, large and small, that the Committee held or in which any of its representatives participated.
I have also studied carefully the published annual reports of IREX, the ACLS, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Canada Council, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy’s News Reports, the annual reports of its Foreign Secretary, and the analyses of participants' reports that its Office of International Relations made available have provided important information concerning the principal program for exchanging scientists and scientific information. The National Academy of Sciences has also served as the base for the Committee on Scholarly Communications with the People’s Republic of China, which is appointed also by the ACLS and the SSRC. This Committee’s reports, especially the China Exchange Newsletter, have provided substantial information concerning scholarly visits to China and efforts to establish an academic exchange program with that country.
The Department of State’s publications constituted an immensely important source. Its Bulletin provided the text of all agreements and notes exchanged, as well as important policy statements by leading officials and statistical information concerning the Department’s other exchange programs and activities. The Department’s annual reports to the Congress, published by the Soviet and East European Exchanges Staff, by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, or by the Bureau of Public Affairs, contain the basic statistical information concerning its exchange programs. The Embassies of West European states in Washington provided copies of their exchange agreements with the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe.
The Department of Health published annual reports of its own exchanges as well as occasional reports of its delegations.
Two journals, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and Science, which is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, have been especially valuable, particularly on Pugwash and on exchanges involving scientists. The New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor have devoted more attention to exchanges than other American newspapers, and Newsweek has been the principal weekly journal source. I have consistently read Pravda through these years and have used the invaluable Current Digest of the Soviet Press, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, for information from other Soviet journals and newspapers. I have also scoured the principal professional journals interested in Russian and Eastern European studies and in international affairs, as well as important Soviet journals, such as Voprosy istorii.
