.fi 've af Win K . I am glad to see this year's annual featuring our students from other countries. We are pleased to have them on our campus. We value their friendship not only because they are personally interesting and Worthwhile individuals, but because through them we come to understand better these countries and their peoples. They, in turn, have a first hand opportunity to learn what We are like, and help their homeland friends to understand us better. There never has been a time when understanding and good will among the peoples of the world was of greater importance to all of us than now. Their presence on our campus contributes to that important end. Wexford .Mifcheff President Page 7
