History
Therefore let us examine the International Student Service. Formed in the early 1920's it was concerned from an early date with a three-point programme:
| 1. | Material relief. |
| 2. | Research on University problems. |
| 3. | Education for International Understanding. |
During World Wra II a new demand for material relief arose and in co-operation with the World Student Christian Federation of Pax Romana I.S.S. established in 1940 the European Student Relief Fund which was expanded under the name of World Student Relief in 1943 when China was added to the orbit of relief work. In 1947 the International Union of Students was added as a fourth constituent of WSR and the World Union of Jewish Students became the fifth constituent in 1949. Throughout the history of ESR and WSR, ISS provided administrative facilities and staff and continued some activities other than material relief although these were drastically curtailed.
