"The American viewpoint of a foreign country is probably far different from that of the American who spends his life among them," said Mrs. Jean Walser, Associate Professor in Mathematics at the University of the Philippines at Manilla, who has just returned from the Philippines to the Iowa State College campus. "People living far across the water from a country of which they know little about the actual life there, wonder at the strangeness of the foreigners who find their way to our shores. Maybe the Americans who journey to the Philippines are just as much a source of curiosity to the natives with their strange dress, short hair, and peculiar American habits and customs."
