Historical Note

In 1951, the American Council of Education in conjunction with the U.S. Department of the Army selected Michigan State University to develop a program of assistance to the newly established University of the Ryukyus. MSU enthusiastically accepted the assignment, and the same year negotiated a contract with the U.S. Department of the Army, which was repeatedly renewed through 1968.

Under the contract, MSU faculty stationed in the Ryukyus worked closely with the U.S. Civil Administration of the Ryukyus Islands (USCAR) and Ryukyan educators to develop the new university based on the American land-grant college model. MSU's effort focused primarily on upgrading the faculty and improving the physical plant, but members of the advisory group also helped establish courses of study, inaugurated research programs, determined academic requirements, and improved instructional methods. The project also brought numerous Ryukyan faculty to the United States. In addition, the MSU Group advised the U.S. Civil Administrator concerning higher education at private universities in Okinawa, and prepared programs for improving high school English language instruction and instituting vocational training.

The University of the Ryukyus Project was administered by the head, or "chief of party," of the MSU Advisory Group in the Ryukyus Islands, and the MSU Dean of International Programs in East Lansing. This joint administration is reflected in the organization of the files.

Project participants came from a wide variety of academic disciplines. Regular advisory group members usually served for a period of one to two years; other MSU faculty members accepted short-term assignments.

Chiefs of Party: Russell Horwood, 1952 Ernst J. Wheeler, 1953-1954 Barnard D. Kuhn, 1955 Carl D. Mead, 1956 Roy Alexander, 1957 Karl Wright, 1958-1959 Richard Fell, 1960-1961 Raymond Hatch, 1962 Thomas King, 1963 Iwao Ishino, 1963-1965 Jack Stockton, 1965-1967 Forrest Erlandson, 1967-1968
