for a field not even mentioned in the official mandate of the President's Commission, international educational exchange produced a range of recommendations, both realistic and far-reaching. Although in its consideration of exchanges the Commission's focus was on scholarly ex- change and research, it did not ignore the important exchange activities which take place as part of the international development assistance programs of American universities, programs which are becoming more collaborative in mode. The future of educational exchanges generally must lie in more reciprocity and mutuality on a basis of greater equality between scholars and higher education institutions in the U.S. and other countries. It is to be regretted that the President's Commission did not apply its collective wisdom to exploring the shape these future directions might take. In so doing, however, the Commission might have shortchanged other activities more central to its presidential mandate. Even in the limited framework of that mandate, it found that "indeed, exchanges have a far-reaching impact on every major topic dealt with by the Commission."28
