I 18 FRATERNITY If the amount of insurance is to be changed, the old certificate must accompany the application. If not merely the amount held is inadequate to the member but the plan itself does not fit him, he may take out additional insurance under different plans, or combine the changes in amount and plan until the newly arranged coverage satisfies his personal and family needs completely. After having finished this detailed review about the rights of our members to change their plans and amounts of insurance, I think we have given quite convincing proof of the flexibility of our insurance system. And now a few words of counselling to those members who hastily send in their certificates to the home office for cash surrender because money became temporarily tight around the house and expenses must be slashed. Think before you leap! Insurance premium is certainly not the first item to be eliminated from the budget. And if it has to be lowered, recall the various possibilities how you may obtain more adequate rates by changing the plan without decreasing the amount of insurance or decreasing the amount to the minimum safety level, still keeping the original certificate intact with all those rights which would be abolished in case of cash surrender. FIFTY COLLEGE STUDENTS ENROLL FOR HUNGARIAN STUDIES Fifty American college students are studying Hungarian language and culture at Elmhurst College in beautiful suburban Chicago. The students, who hail from ten different states, are preparing for various professions and vocations. Elmhurst has an enrollment of 825. The Hungarian studies department is the only one of its kind in the United States. The courses are a part of the college Division of Modern Languages. Students may select beginning and advanced courses in Hungarian language, Hungarian literature and history. With an outstanding academic reputation and a tradition of 86 years, Elmhurst College offers its students a full program of liberal arts and sciences. In order to further develop and encourage similar programs of Hungarian studies as found at Elmhurst College, the American Hungarian Studies Fuondation was organized some years ago. The Foundation has done much to support Hungarian studies. Many scholarships are offered each year to high school students. The Foundation is planning a museum and Hungarian library. The museum will house a “Hall of Fame” honoring the many great Americans of Hungarian ancestry who have contributed so much to our life in the world of the sciences, engineering, the arts and humanities. Hundreds of students have benefited from the Elmhurst Hungarian studies program. They have gained a real appreciation of the valuable Hungarian cultural heritage as they prepare for their various professional careers at a top college in suburban Chicago.
