International EducationPlan is Now Open By BETSY KNOWLTON Campus Editor One evening in the Fall of 1918 a former Secretary of State, a uni. versity president, and a politica: ;cience professor met at the Co lumbia University Club. The dis :ussion that night among these ,hree, Elihu Root, Nicholas Mur ray Butler, and Stephen Duggan said in essence: "Diplomacy hasn'l worked. International finance and :ommerce aren't enough. Let's try international education." Out of this meeting grew the In stitute of International Education a private, non-profit organizatior levoted to promoting world under standing by building a two-way ex. :hange of students, teachers, and specialists between the United states and other countries.

Student pro. grams are partially financed by the sale of surplus war propert5 abroad in a potential 20 countries A typical example of IE dail3 Dperations is the request of a stu dent from the University of Michi. gan: "Our fraternity wants i foreign student to live with us nexi year. Where can we find quali. fied applicants?" IIC's Studeni Service surveys the applications or file and then submits the names ol several candidates.
