The Rotary Balita no. 661 (December 21, 1950).

Rotary Fellowships Rotary Foundation contributions to date since the passing of Paul Harris, total $1,870,370.67, or within $129,000 of the two-million-dollar goal. Fellowships provided by the Foundation have already enabled 200 outstanding young college men and women to take one year of graduate study abroad. In the last four years, Rotary has made grants totalling half a million dollars to these international ambassadors of goodwill - an investment in the world leaders of tomorrow which will pay tremendous dividends in international understanding. On the 15th of November, Henry J. Brandt, past president of the Rotary Club of Bakersfield, California, indicated his desire to make a gift of $20,000 to the Foundation to express his appreciation of the opportunities the United States had given to him, a native of Denmark. Henry said, "I know of no other work that Rotary is doing that will lead to more international goodwill." Rotary International hopes to reach the $2,000,000 goal before the end of 1951.
