 SCHOOL OF INTER-AMERICAN STUDIES
 For more than two decades the University of Florida has promoted interest in
Latin America through an active Latin American area study program. The Institute
of Inter-American Affairs of the University, created in 1930, pioneered in the organi-
zation and coordination of inter-American activities on the campus, and encouraged
the establishment of new course offerings in the inter-American field. This division
of the University also granted scholarships to students from Latin American so
they might study here certain subjects which were not offered in their own countries,
notably courses in agriculture and engineering.
 In 1950 steps were taken to expand the inter-American program at the University
by establishing the Graduate School of Inter-American Studiesto coordinate advanced
work in Latin American subjects in the various disciplines. In 1951 the Institute of
Inter-American Affairs and the Graduate School of Inter-American Studies were com-
bined into a single University unit with the title of Inter-American Studies. The
School now is responsible not only for supervising all undergraduate and graduate
course offerings but also for conducting all other aspects of the University's pro-
gram in the inter-American field.
 As presently organized, the School is headed by a Director. Associated with
him is an Assistant Director. Each is responsible directly to the President. The
