Students and faculty make use of charts and diagrams. During the fiscal year, 1962, the St. Paul campus Short Course Office was continually busy making program arrangements for a total of 209 foreign visitors from 36 countries. This yearly project, headed by Dr. LaVem A. Freeh, enables a variety of foreign students to study and obtain valuable information which they may use to benefit their own countries. A considerable number of these visitors come to the University on programs planned in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture and the visitor’s own government. Others are sponsored by campus organizations; some make their own arrangements for travel and study in this country. In addition to meetings with the various departments in the Institute of Agriculture, many visitors are interested in contacts with an industrial or business concern. Arrangements are made by the college to meet these requests if possible. Stronger international relations are developing from this national project which actually originated in Washington, D. C. and the several cooperating foreign countries and their governments. 28
