A small grant was made by the Ferd Foundation in 1955 fer that purpose. It is hoped that such a description will provide the lecal administrators of the Foreign Student leadership Project and of other foreign scholarship programs with clues for the successful operation of their om projects. The Stanford Foreign Scholarship Program was selected for this purpose be- cause during its eight years uf operation, many problems which new programs — will have to face have been worked out to some degree. Moreover, it is a goed example of a project based on the cooperation of many groups within one campus, including student government, the living groups, the univarsity administration and the community. It mst be emphasized, however, that the Stanford Program is based on conditions particular to the Stanford campus. The Program has its special objectives which differ significantly from those of the United States f National Student Association Foreign Student Leadership Preject, and may differ f from those of programs to be adopted elsewhere.- Therefore the Stanford Foreign: q Scholarehip Program is presented here, not as an example to be imitated, but as a point of departure fer other student groups in the development of programs based on the spirit and the institutions ef their om campuses. Som. special i 1 objectives and problems of the local administration of the Foreign Student : : leadership Project ate cutlined in the next to last chapter of this paper. In the final chapter, certain generalizations arising from the Stanford experience : are presented which may be applicable to other foreign scholarship programs. The daseription of the Stanford Foreign Scholarship Program (Chapters II to VI) was prepared by John Sprague, one of the Co-Chairmen of the Stanford f Foreign Scholarship Program for the academic year 1951-55. The Preface and the H Conclusions were written by Werner Warmbrunn, Foreign Student Adviser at Stanford University. He and his wife Joan were responsible fcr editing the pamphlet, the substance of which was discussed and agreed upen by the co-authors. mene eats emg:
