the world.”
Linn Hutchinson, campus YMCA
adviser: “It is fortunate that the
regional office chose the Univei’
sity campus for the conference,
and gave us this chance to meet
foreign students of the area.”
Lois Greenwood, campus YWCA
adviser: “Most people believe that
education and mutual understand
ing are the primary keys to world
peace. Such a conference as this
one, on the theme of “Students In
One World,” provides opportunities
for an exchange of ideas between
foreign and American students i

understanding.” J
