Harvard officials yesterday said they were not surprised by the University's national ranking. But several expressed hope that the number of foreign students would soon rise as a result of the internationalization effort.
Malin said that the call for an international University is causing all nine Harvard faculties to examine themselves closely to find ways of becoming more receptive to other cultures.
More than one-third of the students Harvard classes as "foreign" come from Canada, and an additional one- third are U.S. residents. Some administratorshave expressed concern that the remainder drawstoo heavily from members of political and economicelites in underdeveloped countries.
"It is important that Harvard play a strongrole in having varied foreign students to educateour students," said Dean of Admissions andFinancial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons '67."Undergraduates, after all, learn from fellowundergraduates."
"The way it would be done would be to let theCollege grow, so that you wouldn't be diminishingthe size of the American group, or any other groupfor that matter," Spence said.
