Contribution toward interna tional understanding and friend | ship through personal contacts be tween different nationalities is the purpose of the institute of interna tional education in aiding United | States students to study abroad i and in enabling foreign students to come to the United States, A. Randle Elliott, administrator for the institute, stated during his visit on the campus yesterday ; afternoon. I “It is very difficult to place stu | dents at any institution of higher learning in Oregon because of a. legislative requirement which makes it impossible for a college ; or university to waive tuition fees. Few foreign students are able to j pay their own tuition. Also, all | government grants for fellowships are limited to those who have al ready received tuition.” Mr. Elliott added that -such was also the case in Washington and had been in all the states up to a few years ago when legislation was passed to I make allowances in this type of case. “Doubtless the Oregon leg islature will do something about this situation as soon as it is brought to their attention,” Mr. Elliott continued. “There is expected to be a size able increase in the number of foreign students brought to this country after the war. The number has been placed as high as 500 from each of a number of coun tries. The University of Oregon would profit greatly from this ex change of students if it were made possible,” Mr. Elliott said.
