SECTION E PAGES 1 to 6 HedfohdJUjWtribunb THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1961 Ambassadors (or Friendship Is Popular Program St. Paul, Minn.-OIPD-It is a ; rare man, indeed, who will : take a caravan of foreign col lege students on his honey moon. That is just what Harry Morgan did as one of the things which snowballed into an international project-that won Morgan an award as one of the 10 outstanding young men in the United States. Morgan, 26, was specifically cited for his "Ambassadors for Friendship" program, a project which seeks to teach foreign students in the United States about American ways of life. When the United Slates Jun ior Chamber of Commerce gave Morgan his award, they called him "a pioneer in people-to-people diplomacy with our neighbors abroad." Ambassadors for Friendship took shape in Morgan's mind when he hitch-hiked across Holland in 1953, just after thousands had been left home less by floods. "I learned there that under standing comes from friend ship," he said. Back in the United States Morgan enlisted in the Air Force. He raised funds to bring a few foreign students to America. The first participants in the program returned home de lighted with the United States. -Morgan returned to Rutgers University after service and was graduated last June. Last summer, Morgan began in earnest his attempt to reach 50,000 foreign students with his program. Caravan Financed by 51 shares sold throughout the country, Mor gan and internationally mind ed Macalester College stu dents here financed a caravan of station wagons in which the young leader, his bride of one week, and eight foreign students set out to tour the United States. Although the trip's purpose was to teach the students, Morgan's person-to-person idea worked both ways and Ameri cans learned as well. In one small Midwestern town, an elderly woman ap proached an extremely intelli gent African student and ask ed, "Is it true that your people still eat missionaries?" None of Morgan's group was much surprised when a wait ress asked for orders that night and the young man an swered: "One missionary." Morgan currently is serving as special assistant to the president at Macalester, using the college as a headquarters and a testing ground for his ambassadors project. Last year, five groups tour ed the nation. In 1961 Morgan hopes to send about a dozen groups. Morgan's home on the col lege campus is dubbed "Inter national House." It is a club house-meeting hall for Macal cster's 50 foreign students. Each Tuesday, the Morgan's entertain the foreign students with a potluck supper. Numerous Speeches Between these extra-curricular activities and his daily tasks, Morgan gives numerous speeches on the ambassadors program and internationalism. In June, "Ambassadors for Friendship" will mark its fifth birthday, with greetings expected from former students in Austria. Denmark, West Germany, France. Holland, Italy, Sweden and Switzer land. His latest venture would bring 12 young newspapermen from 12 different countries to Macalester for a year of American studies. "We'll try to select the fu ture editors, who some day will be molding public opin ion in Asia, Africa and the other countries and tell them the true American story," Morgan said. He already has raised about $40,000 lo finance the pro gram, by selling his idea to company presidents, publish ers and others throughout the " country.
