Progress of Anthropological Teaching.—Tirst Report of Com- 
mittee (Dr. A. C. Happon, Chairman; Professor J. L. Myrgs, 
Secretary; Professor H. J. Funure, Dr. R. R. Marerr, Professor 
C. C. SELiemay). 
‘'ars Committee was appointed at the Hull Meeting, 1923, ‘to report on the 
progress of anthropological teaching in the present century.’ The materials 
collected by a former Committee of the Association (which reported at the 
Cambridge Meeting, 1904) have been placed at its disposal, and will be incor- 
porated in its eventual retrospect. Some progress has been made in collecting 
the required information from institutions in the Dominions and in foreign 
countries; but in compliance with a request from the Royal Anthropological 
Institute’s Joint Committee on Teaching and Research for a summary of the 
present facilities offered by British institutions, this section of the report, which 
was already practically ready, has been completed and submitted in advance 
of the rest. It is hoped that it may be of use to research students as a guide 
to the principal collections of material and centres of anthropological study.
