ABSTRACT

L. K. Crowe, associate chief adviser of the Univ. of Nebraska faculty in Turkey, has written at length about his early impressions of Turkey. He has been there since October, 1958, under the sponsorship of the U. S. Operations Mission in Turkey.

Portions of his letter follow:

"I was granted a leave of absence and accepted an appointment by the University of Nebraska for two years in Turkey to assist in the establishment of the new Ataturk University at Erzurum, Turkey. This University is to be patterned after our Land-Grant type of universities and of course this represents quite a change from the usual concept of a Turkish university.

"Mrs. Crowe and I arrived in Turkey on October 25, spent three weeks in Ankara and then came to Erzurum. The new University officially opened its doors on November 17 in a girls'-school building which had been remodeled. We have 170 students, of whom 11 are girls. We have two faculties, or colleges, Agriculture and Letters and Science.
