STUDYING HUNGARIAN Forty American college students are studying Hungarian language and culture at Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago. These students from ten different states are preparing for various professions and vocations. Elmhurst has an enrollment of 850. 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 select beginning and advanced courses in Hunugarian language, Hungarian literature and history. In order to further develop and encourage similar programs of Hungarian studies as found at Elmhurst College, the American Hungarian Studies Foundation was organized some years ago. Each year many Foundation scholarships are offered to high school students. The American Hungarian Studies Foundation (during 1958) commemorates sixteen years of Hungarian studies in the United States. 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. The American Hungarian Studies Foundation is also publishing the HUNGARIAN ALBUM, which will be ready in 1959. 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. For further information about the Foundation program or college education and scholarships, kindly write to: — August J. Molnár, President, American Hungarian Studies Foundation, Elmhurst College, Elmhurst, Illinois.
