Statesman, Scholars Visit on Ford Plan

A former Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs and two leading scholars from India and Japan will be here this year under a Ford Foundation program.

Mehmet Fuat Koprulu, Turkish statesman, and Muhammed Nizamuddin, professor of Persian at the University of Osmania in India, are already in Cambridge. They will be joined late this month by Shujiro Shimada, Curator in the Department of Art at Kyoto National Museum.

Under the Ford inter-university distinguished visiting scholar program, these men will be free to conduct their studies without any teaching or special research requirements. The three are among 40 scholars, scientists, and intellectual leaders from Asia and the Middle East to visit American universities over a five year period.
