Throughout the world, since
1920, as there have been conflicts
and catastrophes. World Univer

of those interested in education.
After the First World War
shattered universities were re
built while WUS worked to re
create an atmosphere for learn
ing. Help continued with restora
tion of libraries after the Tokyo
earthquake of 1923.
Forced by the Second World
War to direct its activity from re
construction to relief. WUS sent
books to prisoners in “barbed
wire universities."
Scholarships and cash grants
were given to assist 3000 Nisei
students from U.S. relocation
camps in 1944. During post-war
reconstruction international TB
centers opened in France and
Switzerland and rest centers were
established in Austria, Greece.
Italy, England and Finland.
IN THE MID-FORTIES the
emphasis shifted to mutual aid
and technical assistance. Through
joint consultation, universities in
different parts of the world ex
changed services.

ment. improving health facilities
and student housing. WUS acts'
swiftly in time of crisis.

gees caught in the partition of
India and Pakistan in 1947 and
to Korean student war refugees
in 1950.
Students in India. Pakistan and
Japan received flood relief in 1952
and the following year health
centers opened in India and Indo-'
r.esia. Student dormitories were!
built in Korea and Greece in
1954; the first student TB sani-,
tarium opened in Tokyo and stu
dent housing began in Egypt and
Israel, 1955.
After the Hungarian uprising:
in 1956 the exodus of 170.000 ref-'
ugees into Austria included some
7000 university students who had
been leaders in the revolution. Of
these, about 1800 emigrated to
the United States.
THROUGH THE solicitation of
VYUS, colleges and universities
generously offered more than
1000 scholarships. Partial offers
were supplemented with WUS
cash grants amounting to approx

Q=@®©®K!] DP0 Where to watch girls
Although girl watching may be practiced in any place
and at any time girls are encountered (see above), certain
locations deserve special mention for their consistently
high levels of both quality and quantity. The east side of
Fifth Avenue between 51st and 59th Streets in New
York City is perhaps the girl watching center of the
world. Other such locations are: Via Veneto in Rome,
Champs Elysees in Paris, Oude Zyds Achtcrburgwal in
Amsterdam and Sugarbush, Vermont (January through
March). Experienced girl watchers recommend these
places with utter confidence (just as experienced smokers
recommend Pall Mall for complete smoking pleasure).
