Advisory Bodies and V is iting Scholars W ith the organization streamlined ， financial arrangements set up and a central site for a new campus secured ， The Chinese University has an excellent opportunity to become a great univer sity in this part o f the world. No effort is being spared in achieving this objective. One o f the most effective measures toward this end is to enlist the help o f experts and specialists from all available sources. The Chinese University has benefited greatly from the advice o f a number o f eminent men in their fields on teaching methods, campus planning, the lib ra ry ， extra-mural studies, courses in electronics, publications, examination system ， and many other projects. Whether they are British, American or Chinese does not matter ， as long as they are righ t for the special assignment.
