MAGYAR EGYHÁZ 11 Kent State University Receives Rockefeller Money for its Hungarian Program The Ethnic Heritage Program at Kent State University in Ohio, under the direction of Dr. John Cadzow, was recently awarded a grant from the prestigious Rockefeller Foundation for the purpose of collecting and cataloging Hungarian Material. The Rockefeller Foundation grant will enable Kent State University to become a repository for the printed materials that record the history, culture and contributions of the Magyar people. Every year countless thousands of books, journals, periodicals, and archives have been lost to posterity as the generations of older immigrants disappear, their libraries, records,, and correspondence, often of important personages, are destroyed and thus a part of the American historical heritage is lost. It is essential for future research that this Hungarian material be preserved. With this aim in mind, Kent State University proposes to use the Rockefeller Foundation grant to support a student to actively collect Hungarian material from interested individuals and organizations who would be willing to donate their collections to the University’s library. This grant does not provide for the purchase of material. The preservation of Hungarian material will greatly strengthen and broaden the University’s current Ethnic Collection. It will also ensure the continued growth of the Hungarian Program at Kent State. At present there are some 1,000 volumes of Hungarian material in the Collection in the University library. Kent State Unversity also offers four courses through the Critical Languages Program for a total of 14 semester hours. The Hungarian courses fulfill the language requirements for most of the University’s majors. All contributions of printed materials to the Hungarian Collection should be sent to the following address: Hungarian Collection Dr. John F.
