TEACHING AND LEARNING

There is a fine line which we draw solely for purposes of this
report between "visitors" and "students." In general, visitors are here
to use our records in projects of their own. There are others regularly
enrolled in professional training classes who come to learn about the
records and what procedures are followed in making them available for
others. This last category we call students, and for them we attempt to
metamorphose ourselves into teachers.

During the year there were four such groups. Seventeen class mem-
bers of the Tenth Annual Institute of Genealogical Research. American
University, spent the day of July 20, 1960.

On March I⁷, 1961, the following participants in the Third In-
ternational Cooperation Workshop Program in Administrative Manage-
