British Officer Discusses Student Exchange At KU
What do the British think of our schools, and what is the British system like.
Those are the questions that Miss Joan Burbidge, assistant educational officer at the British embassy in Washington, hears the most.
Miss Burbidge and Capt. H. Cotton Minchin, British consul in Kansas City were University guests Thursday. They are making a tour of midwestern universities and colleges to find out what interests the students, teachers, and administrators in England and the United States can exchange.
"The British have a great respect for our schools." Miss Burbidge said, "especially" the technology of such schools as M.I.T. and the humanities studies being made at Harvard. Eastern Schools Known
"But we know so little about the inland schools, and the citizens here seem to know only about our Camps, and the English plaited in her crisp British accent."
News Of The World
Miss Burbidge is one of the three British women in the foreign service. She was educated at Oxford.
At a luncheon Thursday she talked with several University students about the foreign student exchange programs between this country and Britain.
the 'marriage scheme', she said.
Under this plan a British and an American university exchange students.
"The most practicable method is the 'marriage' scheme" she said.
exchange Plan Incomplete
K. U. was to have exchanged a student with the University of Reading in England, but those arrangements have not been completed, Dean J. H. Nelson, chairman of the committee on aids and awards said.
The main obstacle in the way of student exchanges now is the cost. "Those dreadful dollars," Miss Burbidge exclaimed. "Many persons feel that it is foolish to invest in our program because we are on such rocky ground. But any government that is taking steps to quadruple its education program cannot be too badly off." she said.
Miss Burbidge was surprised to learn that K.U. students don't have to take a comprehensive entrance examination. In Britain the only persons who attend the universities are those who can prove their ability and need of an education. Even British G.I.'s being subsidized by the Federal Education training act have to pass an examination to get the benefits, she commented.
Fulbright Act Will Belp
The Fulbright act that was passed last year will provide about one million dollars for exchange scholarships between England and this country. The money will come from the sale of U.S. surplus property in England and will pay the fare of British students coming to this country and all the expenses of students going to England.
"We don't know yet when this will go into effect, but the awards committee will release the details as soon as we get them," Dean Nelson said.
Washington — (UP) — The army high command today acknowledged some mistakes in the treatment of G.L's in the Mediterranean theater but absolved Lt. Gen. John C. H. Lee of any "wrong intent."
Eisenhower Clears Lee
Eisenbower's statement was based on the findings of Mae Gen. Ira T. Wise.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a statement endorsed by Army Secretary Kenneth C. Royall, took no disciplinary action against Lee, former Mediterranean commander who has applied for retirement.
His 12,000-word report conceded that he found evidence of some "minor" irregularities that partly supported some of the charges made
by Scripps-Howard columnist Robert C. Ruark.
The army chief of staff ordered the present Mediterranean theater commander-Maj. Gen. Lawrence C. Jaynes-to correct "errors of commission or commission" in the treatment of enlisted men.
