Global influence Foreign students Founded in rhe faith rhar men arc ennobled by understanding . . These words arc a part of the inscription on the facade of Northrop Memorial Auditorium. All the world is striving towards the goal of international understanding, bur this can only be achieved when individuals understand one another. This year there are approximately 760 foreign students studying at the University of Minnesota. Of these 760, 633 are graduate students, 84 are undergraduates, and the remainder are adult special students. This group is an integral part of the university life and makes the campus a cosmopolitan community,’' a term used by Mr. R. K. Forman who is assistant to Foreign Student Adviser, Mr. J.

Mayo Foundation The University’s link with the Mayo facilities at Rochester has availed the Minnesota graduate program in medicine of added opportunities for study. New clinics, projects and services also have enabled researchers to combine treatment and service with research and study. The Mayo Foundation was established on a grant from Doctors Will and Charles Mayo, who believed strongly that their facilities combined with those of the University could only result in better care for the patient. Approximately 535 graduates of the medical school were registered in the Mayo Foundation program as of Winter, 1959. I lere the students received intensive training in various specialties rhey wish to pursue. Part of a typical student’s daily routine includes record checking with the nurse on duty, taking blood tests, observing operations and conferring with patients. The comradeship and discussion with fellow students who have similar interests contributes much to the knowledge acquired by the student, specially when he makes tentative diagnoses of the causes he is studying. As with all graduate students, medical students at the Mayo Foundation find themselves more closely approximating their future work than they did as undergraduates. 10
