The Hungarian Student, 1957 (1. évfolyam, 2-8. szám)
1957 / 7. szám
The Hungarian Student 21 Activities A new call for help has been made by Hungarian refugees still living in Yugoslav camps. We must do our utmost to remove from refugee camps those who fought up to the last moment, or who did not give up hope until all hope vanished. ... Swedish students have put together their resources to pay the tuition of a Hungarian colleague of theirs. ... Belgians have sponsored 80 Hungarian students in Yugoslavia and brought them to Belgium. ... A collection of funds for Hungarian students in Yugoslavia is under way in America, Canada and in all parts of the world. ... The U.S. Senate accepted a memorandum presented by the Hungarian students in America asking that 50 Hungarian students now in Yugoslavia be allowed to come to the United States. Our student colleagues in Italy collected money to be spent on Salk anti-polio vaccine for the small children in Hungary now exposed to a raging polio epidemic. Our representatives are already negotiating in Nigeria with the international student organization of the Free World, COSEC. They are negotiating at COSEC’s seventh Congress for recognition of the exiled Hungarian student organization. What we have accomplished so far is only a small fraction of the duty we owe to those who have remained in Hungary. The task of the second Hungarian student delegation scheduled to go to Africa in the near future will be to remind the African peoples of the Hungarian fight for liberation, and to win the recognition and sympathy of the African students. In recalling what may have been the happiest hours of our lives, October 23, 1956, we now must take stock of our work, our tasks. Quite possibly we are facing the most difficult year in exile, but we are going to take up work with the hope that the time will come when Free Hungary will need a great many engineers, physicians and economists trained and graduated in the West.

Tuttle, who has been on the Board since 1913, pointed out that this is the first time, to his knowledge, that such scholarshpis have been offered. Although attendance at the Municipal Colleges is normally restricted to students living in the city, the usual residence and citizenship requirements have been waived in the case of the Hungarian 'refugees. ,fWe all have deep sympathy for these people, who have been ready to give their lives and blood for freedom,” Mr. Tuttle said in proposing the resolution. The presence of Hungarian students on the college campuses, he asserted, “would be an inspiration for all students and faculty members.” Mindszenty House in Belgium
