ABCS OF EYE CARE
EXPLAINED
Bishop Greene, Chairman OF
Memorial Program

Have you learned to appreciate
the wonder Of vision? Few persons
really learn to appreciate this
precious possession until eyesight
has been lost or impaired. Seldom
is any other part Of the body more
neglected or abused than the hui
man eye.
The Minnesota State Medical AS
ISOLATION lists the following facts
about vision and eye care:
The condition commonly called
tired eyes" is usually the result
Of fatigue or over strain of the
eyes. Other causes include faulty
vision, improperly fitted glasses
or improper use of them. Remem-
Der that a tired eye, like any
other part of the human body in a
fatigued condition, cannot function
properly. More important, forcing
the use of a tired eye may cause
an irritation which could become
inflamed and infected.
Additional factors which may
produce eyestrain include dietary
deficiencies, improper focusing of
the eyes, failure to wear glasses
as prescribed, as well as poor light
ing conditions.
Continued eyestrain can result
in poor vision headaches, dizziness,
twitChing of the eyelids and even
physical fatigue.
Most cases Of spots before the
eyes" can be corrected with a pair
Of properly fitted glasses provided
the individual is in an otherwise
good state Of health.
The sensation of seeing flashes
Of light" may be due to a number
of causes including a disturbance
in the blood circulation of faulty
color producing functions of the
eye.
A periodic medical examination
of the eye will reveal or halt the
progress Of certain types of bac-
terial or virus infection which could
permanently injure the eye if al
lowed to progress.
Conjunctivitis is a common form
Of inflammation of the eye. The
Inflammation Is characterized BY
redness of the delicate membranes
which cover the eye and eyelid.
The surface Of the eye becomes
red, congested and pussy. That is
accompanied by burning sensa-
ton.
In the interest of the conserva-
ton of vision, the Minnesota State
Medical Association recommends
that a frequent examination be
done by an ophthalmologist "a
physician who specializes in disea-
SEES and care of the eyes, to make
certain that the eyes are free of
disease and physical defect.

Nigeria in Test Program:
Colleges Sponsor
Foreign Student
Selection Project

To fit students from other lands
into the American college scene
81 American colleges and univer-
sites including the University of
Minnesota are sponsoring a pilot
project for cooperation between
educators here and abroad in the
selection and admission of students.
The colleges have joined in Of
fering Approximately rs scholar
ships for qualified undergraduate
men and women students from
Nigeria, as a test of their plan.
The Nigerian students will be
nominated by a joint Nigerian-
American scholarship board of dis
tinguished educators and public
servants who will meet in Nigeria.
The board will be established in
collaboration with the African
American institute. Final selection
will be by the individual American
institution.
Stipends for the Nigerian stu
dents will be set according to in
dividual need, and may total more
than $4,000 for the academic year
1960-61. The colleges and univer-
sites will provide, if needed tut
ton, board, room, fees and other
basic expenses; but not transporta-
ton. Awards will be renewable for
the completion of a normal bache-
doris degree program, subject to
the colleges usual regulations gov
erning financial aid.
If the plan proves effective dur
ing 1960-61 in assisting students
from Nigeria, it may be continued
another year or extended to include
other countries and other American
Colleges. The participating colleges
will review their positions in June,
1861, to determine whether to ex-
tend or modify the experiment.
The cooperating colleges and
universities are: Amherst, Barn.
ard, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Columbia,
Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard,
Haverford, University of Mime
sofa, Mt Holyoke, Oberlin. Univ
ersity of Pennsylvania, Princeton,
Radcliffe, Smith, Stanford, Swarth-
more, Vassar, Wellesley, and Yale.
We're pleased that the Univ
ersity of Minnesota is identified
with this work" r. E. Summers,
University dean of admissions and
records, commented Monday. 1T
promises to promote better under
standing in international educa-
tional exchange and to facilitate
selection of those who will be most
successful among Undergraduate
applicants from abroad.
The choice Of Nigeria for this
pilot plan is especially interesting
to the University" Dean Summers
added. we believe we have a ma
jor share in the education Of I'M
dergraduate Nigerian Government
Scholars, a project which received
special emphasis only last Septem-
Der. Our six Nigerian scholarship
students selected with care-and
with some haste-at that time all
are succeeding in difficult full
study programs on our campus.
Their composite grade average is
near b"
Current enrolment of Nigerian
students at the University totals
eight, the dean reported.
The cooperative plan seeks new
answers to several difficult prob
lens which have developed with
the growth Of study in America
by students from many lands since
