Foreign Students Featured In January Reader's Digest
Eight University foreign students are featured in an article "The Way We Look to Them," by W. L. White, a student in 1918-20, which appears in the January issue of Reader's Digest.
The article is a condensation of a piece which originally appeared in the United Nations World magazine earlier this year. White visited schools throughout the United States last spring gathering information for the article.
He spent three days interviewing students here. Since that time several of the students mentioned have returned home.
Those named in the article who are still in the University are: Eaager Shirazi, engineering senior, India; Erwin David, engineering senior, Holland, and Virginie Baroudjian, graduate student, Egypt.
The students mentioned who have returned home are: Wolf Watnitz, Germany; Soey Bong, Indonesia; Richard Hubner wan Wyngarden, Holland; Edith Hagmeier, Germany, and Gisela Poch, Germany.
In the article the foreign students expressed their opinions of American life and colleges. As a whole they were pleased with the democratic processes. They were particularly impressed with the dignity
of labor.
However, they said the American people, particularly college students, are immature and mentally lazy.
The article ended with stress being placed on the foreign students being impressed by the many displays of kindness by the American people.
