University Has
Students From
50 Countries

CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY

Michigan Is One Of Most
Cosmopolitan Colleges
In United States
By WILLIAM G. FEERIS:
That the University of Michigan
campus is one of the most cosmo-
politan in the country is proved by
the annual International Directory,
issued yesterday at the office of the
Dean of Students. The Directory
shows that there are 284 foreign stu-
dents attending Michigan classes,
that all five of the world's continents
are listed in the group, and that the
students come from 50 different
countries:
Every country of any importance
has at least one representative at
Michigan. England, Italy, Canada.
Japan, France, Germany are all rep-
powers France has the most stu-
dents here, 5. England has 4, and
Germany has 3.
China Sends 83
By far the largest number of all,
however, comes from China. There
are 83 Chinese men and women on
the campus, but Japan totals only
6.
Ranking next to China is Canada,
with 31. Then follow India, with 17,
the Philippine Islands, with 16,
Puerto Rico( the Directory spells itl
"Porto"), with 16, and Russia with
14.
' Seven Letters Unused
A better understanding of the
number of nations represented is hadj
by realizing that only seven letters
in the alphabet do not begin the
names of countries. Those seven ai'e
