Both speakers were introduced by Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid who was unable to give a scheduled talk on the role of the foreign student at SC because of urgent executive duties.
Lack of coal and food is seriously handicapping the Belgian recovery drive. Dr. Winsel said.

Indian students on campus were visited yesterday by P. Kodanda j Rao, a former associate of Mahatma Gandhi and guest of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Mr. Rao took part in the International Relations day ceremonies.
He has been a member of the S«rvants of India society ;iince 1921, and for some time was secretary of the organization.
The society, according to SC officials, is one of the most influential social organizations in India. Its members accept a life of comparative poverty in order to serve the cause of India without regard to race, caste, or creed.
Speaking of Mr. Rao, Mahatma Gandhi said, “He is a moderate in politics and an ardent social reformer holding advanced views on many social problems. He rendered me great assistance in carrying on the anti-untouchabUity movement.”
