The Reischauer Institute notes with great sadness the passing of Albert M. Craig on December 1. Professor Craig was the Harvard-Yenching Professor of History at Harvard University. He received his doctorate at Harvard under the supervision of Edwin O. Reischauer, with whom he taught the "rice paddies" survey course that continues to this day. He was one of the founding members of the Reischauer Institute and served as Director from 1983-1985. He was advisor, mentor, and friend to many scholars and visitors during his many decades of research and teaching at Harvard. After his retirement in 1987, he remained an active member of the Japanese Studies community on campus. He will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,
Mary
