For Canberra
A SCHOOL of Pacific Studies will be part of the newly-established National University of Australia at Canberra.
Professor D. B. Copland is vice-chan cellor of the University. In New Zealand recently he gave an invitation to the University of New Zealand to interest it self in this department of the Canberra institution.
The School of Pacific Studies, he said, was an attempt to make a formal study of the Pacific as a whole and the South Pacific in particular. Work would be centred around anthropology, ethnology.
Pacific history, geography, international relations and resources.
The School would cost at least £50,000 a year to run.
