New Zealander Tells Of Tour Impressions New Zealand is a country in miniature, Ian F. McKenzie, senior executive officer of the University of New Zealand, stated in an interview Friday. “It resembles the United States, but with everything on a much smaller scale.” McKenzie, finishing a 10-month world tour of 60 univer sities, was a guest on the Oregon campus last Wednesday through Friday. His trip was made at the invitation of the Brit ish University Grants Committee and the Carnegie Corporation. FAVORABLY IMPRESSED “I hope Oregon students realize they have a fine opportunity for ed ucation in their building equip ment, campus, and highly qualified staff,” McKenzie said, when asked his opinion of the University. He was especially impressed by these three typical advantages of New World colleges in comparison with urban universities in the Old World, England for example. He noted the great need for more grounds and buildings there. The possibility of student schol arships and exchange interest him. NEW WORLDS “Students receiving assistance under the Fullbright Act and trav el grants should consider the ad vantages of the newer universities of the world, as in New Zealand and Australia,” McKenzie declared. “They should not always head to ward the Old World.” McKenzie has been studying the financial, organizational and admin istrative set-up of big universities. He came to Oregon because it re sembles the University of New Zea land. Both are state supported. Oregon’s governing agency is the State Board of Higher Education, while in New Zealand, six colleges with a total of 10,000 students, are governed by one University admin istration.
