Newsletter, Number 31 (September, 1958)
:
Dr. John Alden Williams, who has been awarded the Center's Islamic fellowship for study in Egypt during the coming season, has not been forgetful of the Center during the summer, which he has spent in visiting Islamic monuments in Spain and North Africa. The present Newsletter consists of extracts from his letters. While it contains nothing directly concerned with Egypt, it should prove of value to members of the Center who are interested in the art and culture of Islam.

It is a pleasure to announce that the fellowships of the Center, made possible by the generous grant of the Bollingen Foundation, have been awarded for the season of 1958-1959 to Dr. John Alden Williams and Dr. Helen J. Wall.
In view of the excellent work done by Dr. Williams during the present season, his fellowship has been renewed, since he wishes to remain in the Near East for another year, in preparation for a post as Assistant Professor in the Institute for Islamic Studies at McGill University, Montreal, where he will assume his duties in the Autumn of 1959, to teach Islamic cultural history and history of art and archaeology. Mr. Williams will travel during the summer in North Africa and will visit Iran, India, and Pakistan before his return to the United States.
