A smaller YIVO project supported by the council dealt with the study and an- alysis of East European folk- songs.

He said these materials were being assembled for the first time for analysis and scholarly research. The humanities endowment i s helping to support the project through grants to Bar-Ilan University in Israel, he said, adding that Yale and other American universities had made arrangements with Bar-Ilan to- cary out research in the field. He said also that the hu- manities endowment was one of several donors to the crea- tion of the Great Dictionary of the Yiddish Language, with a planned 250,000 listings in 13 volumes.
