IFUW President Workshop Speaker The history of the Interna tional Federation of Univer sity Women was traced by the president of the organiza tion at a district workshop of the American Association of University Women in Med ford Friday. Dr. Meribeth Cameron, fed eration president and aca demic dean and professor of history at Mt. Holyoke col lege, South Hadley, Mass., spoke at a luncheon at the First Methodist church. Mrs. Carl Brandenfels, St. Helens, president of AAUW in Oregon, introduced the speaker and presided at the business sessions. Other state officers and representatives of AAUW branches in this dis trict also attended. Dr. Cameron, who has trav eled extensively both in the Far East, China and in Eu rope, is considered an au thority on Oriental culture and has written articles in professional journals. IFUW Described She described the Interna tional Federation of Univer sity Women as symbolizing the "different, short and pe culiar relationship of women to higher education," because women are retaining their in terest in learning after leav ing school. She added that only in the last few decades "have women really been at home in institutions of higher education." IFUW, to which all AAUW members belong, is hoping for improved status of wom en, especially in countries now undergoing revolutionary changes, where she said chances for change are best. Referring to some criti cisms of "educated women," Dr. Cameron said it is a little early to pass judgement on the benefits of higher educa tion, that "100 years is not long enough to decide and evaluate." "However," she said, "it is one of the most promising experiments going on any place." IFUW grew out of the di versity of women throughout the world, according to the college dean, and aims of the organization include interna tional understanding and peace. The organization was form ed 39 years ago by represen tatives of 15 national organ izations of University women. There are now 50 member associations of 192,000 wom en, most' of whom are in the AAUW. Quality Impressive , Dr. Cameron reported that she is impressed with the caliber and quality of women who appear at the internation al meetings and that many of the delegates express sur prise that such a large num ber of AAUW members are housewives, rather than mem bers of professions. Headquarters for the Inter national Federation is in Lon don and the group holds year ly council meetings and bien nial international conferences. The program involves work of a number of committees, including formation of new associations, aid to displaced and distressed University women, and awarding of in ternational fellowships. Dues of members finance the work. State and branch activities were topics for discussions during the day in the various Canadian life insurance companies received $207,300, 000 in premiums from U. S. policyholders during 1958 while U. S. companies re ceived $200,200,000 in pre miums from Canadian policyholders. ONLY Offers So MUCH for So LITTLE!
