Graduate Students Greeted by Truman
Former President Harry S. Truman greeted 77 KU foreign students at his office yesterday in his part of the Kansas City tour taken by the students. They also visited the Liberty Memorial and saw the Christmas lights on the Country Club plaza.
After spending about an hour at the General Motors plant at Fairfax, the group arrived at the office of the former President in the Federal Reserve building shortly before noon. Mr. Truman greeted the students individually and then addressed them as a group saying that he hoped the students would be able to take back favorable impressions of the United States.
In a brief question session that followed, Brian Dunning, graduate student from England, asked Mr. Truman when he was coming to his country.
Mr. Truman said that he was presently engaged in writing a book, "From Prescinct to President," and thought he would be busy with it for some time. He added that his doctors didn't think that he was sufficiently recovered from his illness last year to permit the trip.
The trip to Kansas City is one of several University-sponsored field trips and was a duplicate of a trip last year when 83 foreign students participated.
William Butler, assistant dean of men, accompanied the group.
