In 1914, the bequest of former Regent Levi Barbour established a scholarship program for Asian women to study academic disciplines and professions critical to the development of their native lands. Shown are the 1938-39 Barbour Scholars. The photo is part of “A Cosmopolitan Tradition: International Students at the University of Michigan Since 1847” at the Bentley Historical Library.
