ABSTRACT

Professor David Messick noted how the internationality of higher education is so self-evident that it is often overlooked. He illustrated this by referring to a course he was teaching: it is a course entitled, "Cooperation, Competition and Conflict." Professor Howard Shuman summarized major points in the discussion which dealt with undergraduate study abroad: that higher education is international is not sufficiently noticed. The discussion on foreign language and culture was summarized by Professor Elijah Lovejoy. His report gave much more attention to language than to culture. In the area of language, foreign experience seemed to be better than learning another language through drills. Professor Howard Clarke summarized the discussion group which dealt with the social sciences: even though social science students who study abroad learn to know what it is like to live meaningfully in another society, some disadvantages were noted.
