Among the projects being considered for the future, mention may be made of a proposed book to be published by the Academy in advisement with the University of Southern California and other similar institutions. It is too soon to give an outline of this book, but it will have as a basis the lectures delivered in the cultural course at the University of Southern California, all to be edited or rewritten for publication purposes.
