Ford Meets With Students Today

House Minority Leader Gerald Ford (R. Mich.) will come to Cambridge today in the second of a series of visits by honorary associates of the kennedy Institute.

Like Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, whose visit last week opened the Institute's program, Ford will hold two informal discussions with groups of 50 undergraduates. The first will be this afternoon at Leverett House and the second tomorrow at Winthrop. Both discussions will be followed by small dinners in which 20 more students will meet with Ford.

The Institute has packed four more meetings into Ford's two-day visit. Today he will lunch with members of an Institute seminar on "The Future of the Republican Party" and tomorrow he will eat with the Institute fellows. The Institute has also scheduled two meetings with groups of Law and graduate students.

Even Ford's breakfast tomorrow will be public; he will be joined by the Harvard Radcliffe Young Republicans.

Students who have been selected for Thursday's discussions will be contacted today.
