And guided by the Easter Sermon of 1625, we can develop this still further. Just under the surface of this poem lies a metaphysical conceit in which love is paired with torture. And this converts the poem into something radical and dramatic. As with the sermon, it plainly is a cry against the injustice and ethical folly of torture.

There are several exchange programs a family can work with, including the organization Watford contacted, ASSE International, founded in 1938. AFS-USA was founded in 1946 and Youth for Understanding in 1951.
Gena Norquist, a retired teacher in Fairfax, Virginia, said her warm memories as a 16-year-old exchange student in Norway in 1979 inspired her to host several international students through the same company, Youth for Understanding USA.
The students go to school, of course, and occasionally their exchange program takes them on field trips to, say, New York City. AFS-USA, for instance, organizes many activities so students can meet other Americans.

On March 24, 2018, more than a hundred university alumni from the late 1950s and 1960s gathered in Austin for the fourth reunion of our unique fraternity. We enthusiastically sang Latin American songs, drank Chilean wine and pisco sours, and reminisced for hours about the experiences we had shared as participants in The University of Texas Student Leader Seminar Exchange Program in Chile. One member of our group, Richard Cohen, captured the ambience of the reunion perfectly when he commented that he was "overwhelmed by the spirit of the occasion."
The exchange program originated after Vice President Richard Nixon's good-will tour of Latin America in April 1958. His eighteen-day trip began on an unfortunate note and worsened as it continued. On the first day, the Vice Presidential motorcade became stuck in Buenos Aires traffic, causing Nixon to miss Argentine President Arturo Frondizi's inauguration, the trip's primary purpose. In Lima, the Vice President encountered mobs of hostile Peruvian students who threw fruit and rocks and spit tobacco juice in his face. In Colombia, local pickpockets cleaned up by snatching the wallets of American reporters, Nixon staff members, and even the Secret Service agents. The stop in Ecuador was uneventful because the Vice President cancelled his visit to the Central University. Nixon's most dangerous confrontation came in Caracas, where a violent mob blocked the path of his motorcade and smashed the windows of his limousine as Venezuelan soldiers and police stood by. While Nixon's display of courage earned widespread admiration at home, the trip underscored the need for improving U.S. relations with Latin America, especially its student population.
Immediately after the Vice President's return to Washington, U.S. Department of State officials began to explore ways to cultivate a more positive influence upon Latin American student populations. They attributed the anti-American sentiment to Communist infiltration of the university community, so their planning assumed a Cold War urgency. The officials identified two basic flaws with the existing student exchange programs. The number of students involved was so small that its impact was negligible. The selection criteria for Latin American exchange students to the United States were even more problematic. Since the students were drawn from the affluent classes, often to reward the families of establishment politicians, the program generated more resentment than support. Acting Budget Director Maurice Stans asserted that "the promotion of democracy would be better served in many areas by broadening the base of international exchange through wider selections among the less privileged elements." Vice President Nixon's own recommendations emphasized that it was no longer sufficient to interact with government officials and the elite among the financial and business communities. He identified students, teachers, newspaper editors, reporters and labor leaders as the ones who are exerting influence in Latin America and added: "we must find a way to get our story across to them more adequately." "Person-to-person contact," he concluded, "is the most effective way to accomplish this."
Two versions of an expanded student exchange evolved from draft proposals. The first was a Junior Year Abroad that would fund American students attending Latin American universities for a semester or an academic year. The second version was a four-to-six-week Foreign Student Leader Seminar that would enable several hundred Latin American students to visit one of nine universities in the United States.
The pairings for the inaugural year of 1959 matched Rutgers University with multiple Argentine universities, the University of Florida with Bolivia's University of San Andreas, New York University with Brazilian law schools, The University of Texas with Chile's Pedagogical Institute, MIT with Chile's Catholic University, UCLA with Colombian universities, Puerto Rico's Interamerican University with Guatemala's University of San Carlos, the University of Michigan with Mexico's National University, and Indiana University with three Peruvian universities. Fordham University subsequently joined with Catholic University in Chile, and the University of Kansas students attended the University of Costa Rica.
The Foreign Student Leader Seminars originally did not include a reciprocal exchange of U.S. students traveling to Latin America. This component emerged spontaneously after the first foreign student participants and several of their home universities extended reciprocal invitations, a fact cited by one State Department official as evidence of the program's effectiveness. Thus, fifteen Rutgers students traveled to Argentina, twelve UCLA students went to Colombia, and fifteen University of Texas students traveled to Chile in the summer of 1959. A university professor accompanied each group. The three reciprocal Student Leader Seminar programs implemented a second round of exchange programs in 1960, while MIT and Catholic University in Chile initiated a reciprocal program.
The State Department's enthusiasm for the student exchange programs proved to be short-lived. Officials regarded government funding of the Junior Year program as temporary pump-priming, with the expectation that the sponsoring universities would transition to self-supporting programs. The universities had difficulty recruiting enough student participants and finding alternative sources of funding to make the program viable, but Fordham's Junior Year program managed to secure the funding to continue for several more years. The State Department also concluded that the Student Leader Seminars, "while generally well received and of benefit to the American student participants, are probably not the most effective use of the funds." It decided to notify the universities not to anticipate any additional financial aid, although they would be encouraged to continue the programs on their own initiative, if they chose to do so.
