...lure them Down Under is the job of tall (6 ft.), irascible Arthur August Calwell, Australia's first Minister for Immigration. His Government's long-range goal is a population of 20 million (present population: 7½ million). Calwell's job has not been made any easier by the fact that Australians still have definite ideas of what kind of immigrants they want: ten Britons to one from other lands, very few "reffos" (Aussie for European refugees), few southern Europeans, and, in the long-established Australian tradition, no Asiatics.

...also of an unusual calibre. Its age and experience give it a direction and purposefulness not customary in undergraduates. It has business and social contacts more extensive than those of an ordinary college class. And because many of the men in college this summer are working for a definite goal beyond their sheepskin and because they have already acquired many of the social abilities that are an intangible part of a college education, the almost necessary shortcomings of the Summer Session will not be too strongly missed...
