In view of the conviction that exceptional students must be exposed to distinguished minds to stimulate and inspire them, and in the belief that the exchange of scholars is not only essential to the advancement of knowledge, but is also one of the most promising roads for better understanding, the foundation makes limited funds available for “Distinguished Visiting Professorships” in the field of foreign language and literature. The selection of the scholars is left to the independent judgment of the university. These awards are granted on a challenge basis to supplement the cost so as to provide incentive for enlisting the interest and active support for the institution in question.
