...which representatives of colleges and universities all over the world are present. The object of the congress is to strengthen the bonds existing between the students of France and the students of other nations, particularly of the United States, and especially to deal with the following questions: equivalence in respect to diplomas and credits in different universities, study tours and missions, travelling fellowships exchange of professors, and special courses in France for foreign students...

It took the actual comradeship of the front line trenches, stripping away social mannerisms and prejudices, to teach the American soldier in France to like and respect the Briton. Unfortunately, it is impossible to stage a war very frequently to promote international good-will. But, if we remain dependent upon newspapers, history books, and casual tourists for our knowledge of foreign countries, the chances for mutual understanding will not be increased...
