Abstract
THEN the Academic Assistance Council was formed in May of last year to assist scientific and other scholars who, on grounds of religion, race or opinion, were unable to continue their work in their own country, it was hoped that its work might be required for a temporary period only. In co-operation with other emergency organisations, the Council has succeeded in permanently re-establishing 363 of the 700 displaced scholars who left Germany, and in providing temporary support for 324 others in universities and other institutions of learning while continuing their research. A feature of this work has been the ready co-operation which the Council has secured from practically all university institutions in giving an opportunity to those displaced of continuing their scientific and learned pursuits.
