29b REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE FACULTY OF THE SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL STUDIES 1930 - 1931 The year has been an uneventful one so far as the usual work of the School has gone. ENROLLMENT The total number of students who have enrolled for various courses during the Academic year - 87. They are divided MISSIONS as follows: NATIONALITIES American Mission 5 American 23 C.M.S. 14 British 49 E.S.M. 5 German 3 Nile Mission Press 1 Dutch 3 A.U.C. 8 Bulgarian 1 Apostolic Assemblies 1 Armenian 2 Holiness 4ission 3 Welsh 1 Scotch Mission 1 Italian 2 German Mission 2 Norwegian 2 Dutch Mission 2 Egyptian 1 Brethren 1 Bible Society 1 N.V.E.C. 1 S.P.C.K. 2 Gospel Mission 1 Armenian Church 1 Unattached 38 Among the Unattached this year we have had an unusually large number who are in Educational Service with the Egyptian Government, and we have some reason to believe that this is due to the fact that Govern-ment is putting some pressure on its foreign Staff to learn Arabic. CURRICULUM Arabic and Islamics - There has been no change in the usual Curriculum. Of Classes outside the Curriculum, Messrs. Elder and Jeffery have taken advanced students in Courses in Early Arabic Poetry ,, Muslin Theology, Palaeograpny, and Qur'anic Exegesis. Besides we have been able to supply native teachers to read advanced texts with visiting Orientalists. Hebrew - The single Hebrew Class has continued all year.
