...attitude of the U.S. toward travelers from abroad. The 450,000 foreigners visiting the U.S. this year are still only a trickle compared with the flood of 2,000,000 Americans who will wander over foreign countries, but tourism from abroad shows every sign of increasing.

One day this spring the trustees solemnly toured the gleaming halls, airy rooms, and spacious courtyard of Quincy House, then boarded a bus for the Radcliffe Quadrangle to survey the cozier quarters provided in Cabot Hall (built in 1937, fourth youngest of the College...
