In the 1950s, catalogues began to show important unfamiliar material, but they were chiefly picture books with perfunctory introductions and captions.
Recently the university presses at Hawai'i and Princeton especially have shown an interest in Japanese art, but the exhibition catalogue continues to be the dominant form of publication.
Six years later the Guide was revised for inclusion in Penelope Mason's History of Japanese Art (New York: Abrams, 1993), and now (spring 1998) at the invitation of the Asia Society and with the permission of Harry N. Abrams, Inc., we have revised it again.

 Letter to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
The attractiveness of Harvard will continue to be the fact that this is a place where one can do one's best work, surrounded by colleagues, students, and resources of a quality that is unmatched elsewhere.
Harvard sustains a variety of varsity sports teams (more, indeed, than any other Division I institution), and an uncommonly robust program of junior varsity, club, intramural, and recreational athletic opportunities.
The DEAS is the only locus of expertise in technology, engineering, and applied science at Harvard, and since these areas will be increasingly important in the lives of our students - both undergraduate and graduate - we must maximize the benefit to the University of the Division's unique strengths.
