British Students May Teach Here Under Fellowship Plan

British students whose government will not allow them to spend money for study in this country may get a helping hand from a new plan sponsored by the State Department and American students in England, and made public here yesterday by Thomas L. Farmer '44 2L.

Farmer, who was president of the American Students Association while studying two years in England, hopes to open fellowships in U.S. universities to English graduate students by distributing information on teaching jobs in this country.

No Balance

At present, about 1,000 Americans are studying in England, while only 100 British students are in American universities.

Farmer has solicited the aid of the Regional National Student Association committee and the newly-established Fulbright committee in Great Britain. The Northern New England NSA group has agreed to collect information on jobs here, which will be sent to the Fulbright board in England. That group will distribute listings to English schools and screen applications for the openings here.

"This isn't charity," Farmer said last night, "but rather an attempt to give these men an equal footing in the U.S. bidding market for these jobs." He added that the idea was based partly on the hope that they can "round out American universities."
