The purpose of the two days was to provide op­ portunity for interchange among the many nationalities, and to assist in the orientation of American and Canadian students leaving next month from their year abroad. The meeting also served to enhance contact between the exchange students and their Rotary district chairmen. A highlight was the presence of the president of Rotary International, Rolf Klarich, of Helsinki, Finland. In all, there were three categories of students: Those foreign students in the midst of their stays in America or Canada; American and Canadian students preparing to leave for their years abroad; and those Americans and Canadians just returning from a year away.
