The third presentatio was given by Michael Minenko, St. Andrew's College board member, on the theme "Our Impact on University Student Life." All three seminars produced much discussion and food for thought.

In addition, the exchange members participated in a banquet with cultural entertainment, worshipped in the college chapel, and visited the U. of M. and city highlights.

The exchange also had an administrators' session during which the institutes compared notes on everything from residence quality to finances and extracurricular activities. The exchange was successful in providing a forum for students and staff to meet and work towards promoting quality residences in all four institutions.
