ABSTRACT
The author went to visit two of his benefactors, Mr. Raymond and Mr. Tolstoy. Mr. Raymond was the director of the international student organization that had supported me and facilitated all his communications with Williams College. Next he went to see Mr. Tolstoy, the man whose foundation had paid for his plane ticket to America. The author found that he agreed with his idea that Tibet had to change its social system, that church and state needed to be separated, and that Tibetans needed a modern education. He remembers that Miss McPeek's even gave the manager an earful about how important it was for people in this country to learn more about Tibet. Modernization would not happen with the government-in-exile, so he explained that if people were ever to modernize they had no choice but to see that it could only happen under the aegis of the Chinese Communist Party.
