Abstract: Applied anthropology is a very personal endeavor for those of us who get involved in it. Within this paper I will mention the names of a number of American anthropologists to illustrate one kind of applied activity or another. Many of these who have contributed significantly to the application of anthropology in non-academic problem areas are at least as well regarded within the discipline of academic anthropology. Others, however, are not as well-known for writing in professional journals because they have directed their primary efforts toward applying their anthropological training to the better understanding of Micronesian concerns in the present context of rapid social and.cultural change. As preface to my remarks, I must cite three definitions in order to clarify the limits I wish to set for the scope of this report. The first has to do with the formal discipline of anthropology which can have different meanings for different people. It may include archeology, linguistics, and physical 'anthropology as well as social and cultural anthropology. The second definition will distinguish the application of anthropological training and experience toward problem-solving in contemporary Micronesia from the conduct of basic research aimed 31
