Discussion

Department of Dairy Science, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge

ABSTRACT

As indicated by the previous speakers on this subject, this assignment is a difficult one, which must not be treated lightly by the educators in American universities and colleges if we are to be successful in this program. Although my experience in Latin American countries has been limited, I have had enough in some of them, and enough contact with representatives of many of them, to fully appreciate the important points emphasized by Dr. Waugh. I concur with what he has said. During the short time that I have on this program, I should like to offer a few comments on the following:

1. The role of the department head.
   
2. The attitude of the American teacher and research worker.
   
3. The language barrier.
   
4. The importance of a practical training program for the Latin American student.
   

The role of the department head. Under this topic, I should like to discuss the general role of the department head as related to the student's program of work.

¹ Professor Frye has much experience in teaching students from Latin America and has been on several assignments there.
