Committee and the Princeton-in-Asia Committee. T h e arrangement is not an official one between the College and these American Universities, but is a concern of interested groups in or related to the three institutions. T he tutors work in Chung Chi for two years, in rotations, half being replaced each year. A t the moment, the College has seven of these tutors. T h ey are Me l v in Ang, Jeffrey Amo ry and Gary Jefferson f r om Da r t mo u t h; Nancy Dana and Ma r j o ry Williams f r om Wellesley; and Owen Nee and Lewis Rutherfurd from Princeton. These young American scholars are helping in the Departments of English, History, and Religious Knowledge and Philosophy. Th ey come for different reasons, notice different things, and teach different subjects. Yet all of them are interested in Chinese culture and wish to learn Kuo-Y ü . Most of the tutors go on into graduate work w i th a life-time interest in Asia. A t New Asia College, under an arrangement w i th the Yale-in-China Association, the Yale-in-China “Bachelor” Programme provides the College w i th 4 tutors, all recent graduates, on two-year appointments. T h e “Yale Bachelors” who are now at New Asia, are Dale Freeman, Christian Mu r c k, John Ewell and John K i n g. T h o u gh all four teach English, M r . Freeman and M r . K i n g also teach European History. I n addition M r . T i mo t hy L i gh t, a “Yale Bachelor” in 1960-62 at New Asia, has returned as an Assistant Lecturer in English after getting his M . A . degree at Columbia. T h e Yale-in-China Association also provides two full scholarships to graduates of New Asia for two years' graduate study in the Un i t ed States. D r. Phillip S.Y. Sung and D r . Nathan Mao, who are now lecturers in the English Department of the College, both once held the Yale-in-China Scholarships while studying in the Un i t ed States.
