IIR S T A F Operating as an independent administrative board of the ASSU, the Institute sponsors a series of events and activities in the international field designed tc further friendly cooperation with other countries and to awaken the Stanford student body to the advantages of such co-operation. Divided into seven depart- ments, the Institute ' s activities range from the sponsorship of the annual Western College Conference on American Foreign Policy to book and clothing drives pro- viding relief for areas devastated by war or other causes. Stanford ' s three hun- dred or more foreign students are directly involved in the IIR ' s work and have their own social organization operating in connection with the International Club. New projects this year included a renovation of office facilities and a program of week-end seminars.

COSMO C L U B The International Club is the social organization of the foreign students; Cosmopolitan Club is conducted under its auspices. The latter group sponsors a social gathering each Friday after- noon between 4 and 6 P.M. at Bowman Alumni House. Here foreign students and American stu- dents have the opportunity of getting acquainted in an informal atmosphere over coffee and cookies. The I Club also organizes a mixer every two weeks where foreign and American students ex- change knowledge and past experiences. Other social events of the year include an International dinner where the campus is afforded the pleas- ure of sampling delicious foods prepared in other countries, and a Foreign Student Talent Show where the flavor of foreign culture is brought to Stanford.
