On October 16, 1979, the newly renovated entrance on Claremont Avenue was opened. It represents the first phase of several architectural changes at International House. Work is now proceding on remodeling the lobby and administrative offices at the Riverside Drive entrance. The building renovations have been planned not only to restore the fine old public rooms, but to reorganize space for more effective use. The new space arrangements recognize current patterns of student living. The newly renovated entrance on Claremont Avenue for example, is the chief point of entry for residents and has been enlarged to accommodate not only the switchboard and resident mailboxes, but benches, bulletin boards, linen and rental service, copy service, etc. Two computer terminals have been installed here also, so that students can use the university computers without leaving the building. The Riverside Drive entrance will be primarily for visitors to International House. Since the Business Office and Cashier’s Office will still be housed off the Riverside Drive entrance, the cashier will also serve as receptionist. All other administrative offices will be consolidated in this area.
THOMAS F. OLSON, PRESIDENT-ELECT At its September meeting, the Board of Trustees elected Thomas F. Olson President and Howard A. Cook President Emeritus, to take effect at the annual meeting of the corporation in December. In the picture above, Mr. Olson welcomes world members and other guests on October 7, 1979. He told the audience, “I believe that I am as enthusiastic and excited about undertaking the presidency in the 55th year of the House as Harry Edmonds was when he founded it.” Mr. Olson has been traveling during November with President Cook to meet alumni and other supporters in the Far East who have done so much to bring the Half Century Fund campaign to a successful conclusion.
FALL PROGRAM
1979
Profession Preparation Interest in professional preparation is
very high today at International House. In addition to the forums and seminars arranged by the program fellows and program staff, much valuable professional training is the result of interaction with people who are already working in a student’s chosen field.
Corporate trainees represent a small but important part of the resident body. As trainees, they have a status and perspective close to the full time student,
but as employees of a company they are able to share the insights of a working professional with the other residents. An
extra dimension
at International
House is that our trainees, since they represent

ITALY SITE OF COUNCIL MEETING The Eighth Meeting of the Council of World Members was held May 14-16, 1979, at the Bellagio Study & Conference Center, Lake Como, Italy, the site of the first meeting in 1966. There were 26 participants representing 17 countries.
As Chairman Sigurdur Helgason said in his welcoming remarks, the purpose of the conference was to determine “ways the Council can assist in the continuity of the House.” One resolution of the Council toward providing that continuity was the recommendation regarding International Trustees. This new concept is expected to develop further the interaction between the Council of World Members and the Board of Trustees. These

A CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE & WORK OF HARRY
EDMONDS— OCTOBER
On Sunday, October 7, 1979, the Main Lounge at International House was filled with Trustees, friends, members of the Edmonds family, stu-
dent residents and alumni gathered to honor Harry Edmonds. In his welcoming remarks, Thomas F. Olson, master of ceremonies, commented on the distinguished history of International House and his pleasure in becoming president of such a dynamic institution. Dana S. Creel, consultant to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, spoke as a representative of the Rockefeller family and described Harry Edmonds asa “dedicated persuader.” Mr. Creel recalled the respect that “Mr. Junior” had had for Harry Edmonds and how that respect carried through 3 generations of the Rockefeller family. Granddaughter
of
John
D.
Rockefeller, Jr., Mrs. George D. O’Neill, a Trustee of International
House, looked back over the 21 years she had worked with other Trustees to preserve the traditional atmosphere. Cleveland Dodge spoke next and recalled his life-long friendship with Harry Edmonds, the early visits with the Cosmopolitan Club, and the enthusiasm of the project that he shared with Mr. Rockefeller. On behalf of the earliest residents, John MacGregor, former Trustee and I. House resident in 1926, testified to Harry Edmonds great gift of caring for others. “For many of us, he was our advisor and guide—those of us who knew him well have the comfort of remembering the many years we had his strong arm around our shoulders and the companionship of this stronghearted, younghearted, kind-
hearted gentlemen.” Susan Edmonds Wiggins, his granddaughter, spoke of her family memories.

told the audience of what a constant source of inspiration Harry Edmonds had been throughout his years as president. Mr. Cook announced that so many messages had arrived that there was not time to read them
all. However,
knowing how many people present remembered Florence Edmonds as a partner to her husband in the early days of the House, he read a telegram of greeting from their daughter Margaret Leuthwaite, in England quoting her mothers belief “if you keep a green bough, you will have a singing bird.” Assisted by two Edmonds great granddaughters, Mr. Cook then unveiled the memorial tablet for the Home Room.

The climax of the evening was a traditional Sunday Supper and Candlelight Ceremony. The menu recalled the earliest years of hospitality in the Edmonds’ home: sandwiches, fruit and cookies. Young women from the People’s Republic of China said grace, a soprano from the Philippines entertained, the pledge, “As Light Begets Light” was read by a student from India as the Iranian president of the Student Council lighted the candles of the other student leaders from around the world. It was a stirring moment as light filled the darkened auditorium.

“INTERNATIONAL HOUSES ALL OVER THE WORLD” At the Sunday Supper following the Edmonds ceremonies, W. Sheridan Warrick, Executive Director of International House, Berkeley, spoke of Harry Edmonds’ leadership in developing the idea into a world-wide movement. He reminded the group that although the “Skipper” resigned as director of the New York House in 1935, he never really retired, but spent the rest of his life traveling and writing letters all over the world to encourage the building of new student centers. In honor of Harry Edmonds, as a gift for the first International House from the second House, he then presented to Howard Cook a framed graphic, depicting in art form the important goal of all International Houses—the
quest for peace. In addition to Mr. Warrick, representatives from other International Houses attending were Mr. Charles Rannels, Director of the Philadelphia House; Mlle Jeanne Thomas from Paris, who had worked closely with Harry Edmonds when the Paris House was built and Keith Aitken from England. Mr.
Aitken worked with Mildred Wheatcroft and alumni in the United Kingdom to build the International House at the University of Warwick.
Howard Cook admires the graphic developed for the 50th year anniversary celebration of International House, Berkeley, presented by W. Sheridan Warrick, Executive Director at Berkeley.
