In fact it had the first accredited geophysics degree. I believe somewhat just less than 10% of the school population was foreign and we are talking very expensive for that group.<br /><br />The two largest groups were Persian and Arab - especially Iraqi Arabs. Obviously between expense and visa issues in the early 70s that meant the children of the elites.Chuck Butcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13656874242638324636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22183958.post-29723653123530341082009-06-18T13:48:02.837-07:002009-06-18T13:48:02.837-07:00Chuck -didn&#39;t know that you knew people in the Shah&#39;s circle. One of my son&#39;s preschool teachers is a person that fled due to her/husband relations with the Shah. What&#39;s ironic is that she and her family have suffered from racism/bigotry here in the US.<br />I wish those protesting in Iran well also. I hope democracy can come over there.Micgarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09246675916964797016noreply@blogger.com
