The Presidential Value Of An International Experience

By Fred Ris

To the editors:

In his March 18 column “The Question of Leadership,” Stephen W. Stromberg once again pokes at the “dubious educational value” of requiring an “international experience.” Perhaps there are valid non-educational values of such a requirement. I wonder whether the U.S.’s position in the world might be different today if Yale had imposed such a requirement on its class of 1968.
