& al^ Museum. Dr. Force 

 [^Aj| came to this Mu- 



seum in 1956 and 

 Roland w. Force since that time has 

 been instrumental in 

 expanding the Museum's oceanic col- 

 lections. In 1958 he arranged for 

 the acquisition of the famed Fuller 

 Collection of artistic and ethnological 

 materials from the South Pacific. 

 Purchased from Captain A. W. F. 

 Fuller of London, the collection is 

 one of the finest in the world de- 

 voted to South Pacific artifacts. 



In May of this year the Fuller Collec- 

 tion received special recognition when a 

 new hall, "Cultures of Polynesia and 

 Micronesia," (Hall F, ground floor, east) 

 was opened to the public. 



Dr. Force's research in the field of an- 

 thropology includes a study of political 

 change, emergent leadership, and social 

 organization among the peoples of the 

 Palau Islands conducted during the years 

 1954 to 1956. This research was part 

 of a broad program sponsored jointly by 

 Yale University, the Bernice P. Bishop 

 Museum, and the University of Hawaii. 

 The result of this research was a mono- 

 graph entitled Leadership and Cultural 

 Change in Palau, published by Chicago 

 Natural History Museum Press. 



As director of the Bernice P. Bishop 

 Museum Dr. Force replaces Dr. Alexan- 

 der Spoehr, who was recently named 

 chancellor of the United States' new 

 East-West Center, an institution of higher 

 learning founded in Hawaii to foster 

 greater understanding between the orien- 

 tal and occidental worlds. Dr. Spoehr,
