Activity Quote by J. William Fulbright
“International educational exchange is the most significant current project designed to continue the process of humanizing mankind to the point, we would hope, that men can learn to live in peace-eventually even to cooperate in constructive activities rather than compete in a mindless contest of mutual destruction…We must try to expand the boundaries of human wisdom, empathy and perception, and there is no way of doing that except through education.”
