THE COLLEGE

WHEN this issue reaches alumni hands President Dickey will be in Poland as head of a cultural mission sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The five-man delegation, which left for Warsaw on February 24 and plans to return to this country March 19, will interview and select some sixty Polish scholars, leaders, and other qualified candidates for awards that will enable them to travel to the United States or Western European countries for study, research, and consultation with their Western counterparts.

Other members of the mission are Prof. Samuel Eilenberg, chairman of the Mathematics Department of Columbia University; Edward D'Arms, associate director of the Ford Foundation's Humanities and Arts Program; J. Michael Montias, professor of economics at Yale; and as administrative officer, Edward L. McGowan, instructor in Russian at Emmanuel College.

The Ford Foundation inaugurated its Polish Exchange Program in 1957. This year's Polish selections are to be from among nature, post-doctorate scholars in the social sciences, humanities, and physical sciences. They will include other professional persons who may not be connected with academic institutions, such as government officials, public administrators, industrial managers, architects, writers, journalists, composers, painters, and cultural leaders generally.
