The gratifying results for First c:ind Second Yeu.r could bo duo in part to the foct that the weaker students dropped out, leaving a class of capable students in ouch case. But part of tho s ucccs s must be given to the gradual change in methods of teaching Japc:incse -- namely the eliminntion of romaji as much as possible, und to the introduction of dictation work, tho use of Japunose grammatical terms and nnulyscs, und instruction in calligraphy. l\.lso rogulur testing in examinution con­ditions and requirements, ascertained those fulling behind in any aspect of the work.

One of our students, Miss Jennifer Mayne, gained lst class Honours in her final your in Jupunose. J third year student, Mr. C. Kiriloff, will proceed to honours work next your (with classical cmpho.sis) cmd throe others will graduate. Another student, Miss Birutu Udris has completed her B ,,\, (0. S.) degree work, huving gone right through o.s a purt-timo student.

6. The Curriculum.

In 1964 the curriculum was revised to offer courses with the emphasis on modern Ju.panese and so greu.t was the response thut all the students proceeding from lst to 2nd yeu.r, u.nd from 2nd to 3rd year wish to take the modern emphasis course. The Bibliography course was enlarged and h8ld once weekly instead of fortnightly under the very uble guidance of Dr. Bnckus .

Regretfully we cannot commcmce the Literature course in 1965 owing to lack of stuff; however Japanese la will be offered. The postponement of the Literature course was a dis.:ippointmcmt to us but the failure to fill the Chair of Japanese left us unexpectedly short of u. lecturer.

Members of the Japanese staff conducted the l~dult Education classes in spoken u.nd written Japanese and in 1965 the classes will continue, introducing the changes we havEJ evolved in teaching methods.

7. Extra-Curricula.

Mr. Hasegawa went to the ,~.ULI.A conference in Melbourne and read a paper on the eurly development of the Heike Monogatari.

Dr. Backus participuted in a seminar conducted in the Institute of Advanced Studies, A. N. U. , and read a puper on Japanese Feud a 1 ism .

The "department" of Japanese staged an exhibition of large photographs depicting modern Japanese life together with u. display of models of Jupanese antiquities, in the foyer of the S. G. S. library as a part of Orientation Week in 1964. Our grateful thu.nks go to Mr. Easden from the A. N. U. Design Unit who arranged the exhibits in a most professionul munner.

We also assisted with an art show of Japanese Culligraphic Painting and demonstrutions of the technique held at David Jones by the Arts Council.

The Japanese ndepartmentn held two Sunday evening gatherings of the Ocha no Kai society in the withdruwing room at University House to enable all those interested in Japan to mix and converse with Japanese nationals.

8. Visits abroad.

Profess or Ackroyd returned from Tokyo at the beginning of March, 1964, and Mrs. Clifford returned from Japan also in time for the first term of 1964.

5. Teaching.

The first-year (Oriontu.l Civilization) enrolment wu.s about 80 per cent higher than in the previous your (71 students ns compared with 40 in 1963), with 53 students sitting for the oxuminutions as aguinst 31 in 196 3. Tho examination results wore quite su.tisfu.ctory with regard to Puss students, 18 of whom o.chieved u. Pass with Merit. Of the 15 Honours students, only one secured High Distinc­tion o.lthough 7 pussed with Distinction. The failure ru.to wus somewhat higher than lo.st year ( 12 out of 53 compared with 5 out of 31); however, two of the students who failed wore speciul co.sos and they will take supplementary examina­tions in February 1965. The exo.mination results in Fo.r Eastern Civilization I o.nd II were good but not outstanding, since only one Honours student out of 7 in Far Eastern Civilizu.tion I u.nd none of the 5 in Fo.r Eustern Civilizu.tion II secured u. High Distinction. However, the two Honours students who gninod High Distinc­tion o.nd Distinction in Far Eastern Civilization I arc very promising indeed. The number of enrolments in Fo.r Eustern Civilization I was not u.s largo ns thut of 1963 (11 us o.guinst 15) but, owing to the largo number of students in Fo.r Eu.stcrn Civilizution I in 1963, this yonr we d oubled the number of students in Far Eustern Civilizution II ( 10 u.s compnrcd with 5 in 1963) . The number of students in South­east Asiun Civilizution I more thun doubled in comparison \vi th the previous year (7 us compared with 3 in 1963). Of these, there wore two Honours students who did quite well (Distinction and Credit). Thero wore no failures und no outstund­ing achievements. The Southoast J\siun Civilization II clu.ss wus an excellent one ( 3 as ugainst 1 in 1963) with High Distinction, Distinction and Puss with Merit . The two Honours students t2king this course show promise of doing very good work in their Honours year.
