The rich treasure of Indian philosophical thought has been made available to English-speaking readers in many excellent translations. But it is a treasure of which few have availed themselves. The growing need for mutual understanding between East and West, however, emphasizes the importance of study of this material. The time has come when it should find its place in the curricula of all our universities. And the best way, initially, to further this development is through the teaching of courses on our college campuses by visiting professors from India. It was considerations such as these that led to the visit of Professor D. M. Datta to America in the academic year 1951-52 to teach for the first semester at the University of Wisconsin and the balance of the year at the University of Minnesota. Two foundations helped to make this project possible. The Watumull Foundation of New York, assisted the University of Minnesota, while the participation of the University of Wisconsin was made possible through funds of the Kemper K. Knapp bequest.
