The United States Postal Service held a "first day of issue" ceremony on February 28 to unveil a commemorative stamp marking the anniversary. The ceremony was held in Fayetteville, the home town of the late Senator J. William Fulbright, who considered the Fulbright Program to be his greatest legacy. Part of this exhibit was shown at the ceremony.
Materials in the exhibit are drawn from the following sources in the Special
Collections Division of the University Libraries: the J. William Fulbright
Papers, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Historical
the Council for International Exchange of Scholars Records, the University
of Arkansas Picture Collection, and the Fulbright College Archives.
Curator of this exhibit was Betty Austin, archivist in charge of the J. William Fulbright Papers at that time.
