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 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.
When the State Department solicited the 1961 budget priorities of the U.S. embassies in Latin America, the embassy in Chile was the only one to give a high priority to one of the student exchange programs, the UT-Chile Seminar. Likewise, according the State Department's records, The University of Texas was the only participating university that "has evidenced active interest for continuing the exchange another year." By 1966, four U.S. universities were operating exchange programs in Chile. UCLA sent a professor and five law students to Chile for a month. They earned praise for their maturity, fluency in Spanish, and academic preparation. New York University initiated an exchange with the University of Concepcion, and in the final phase of Vanderbilt's exchange with the University of Chile's School of Political Science, a single graduate student participated. Yet, The University of Texas's Student Leader Seminar with the University of Chile's Pedagogical Institute was exceptional in its longevity. With the ongoing support of the U.S. Government and the university, the program continued through 1967. By 1968, however, the U.S. student opposition to Vietnam had become so intense and pervasive that the State Department concluded that continuing the program would be counterproductive. Likewise, Chilean students' widespread opposition to the war made them less willing to have Americans on the Institute's campus.
In his first meeting at the Pedagogical Institute, Neal took control of the selection process through a series of maneuvers that would ensure the Chilean campus's support of the program. When the institute's director announced that he would assemble a panel of suitable Chileans students to be considered, Neal surprised him by insisting that the competition be open to all students. He then met with the student leader union and distributed applications to their members after realizing that the group had been excluded. In the end, 150 students applied, and 140 appeared for interviews. In selecting the group of fifteen undergraduates, Neal considered the students' leadership experience and their academic standing. He also ensured that all six of Chile's political parties and different academic departments were represented. Two of the first participants were open communists; some were conservatives; others were moderates. The accompanying Chilean professor was chosen for his ability to get along well with the students. In the following years, these former Chilean student and faculty participants, especially Professor Luis Capurro, would become Neal's and the program's strongest allies. The fact that The University of Texas could sustain an ongoing exchange student program with the radical campus, where embassy personnel were not welcome, impressed State Department officials.
In a meeting of U. S. university coordinators of Latin American exchange programs in 1959, Joe Neal described how the Chileans who came to the Austin campus were "absorbed" by the host university's student leaders. Despite the language barrier, "a tremendous relationship" developed between the two groups. Each delegation of Chilean students experienced a Texas barbeque at Neal's ranch, "Horse Thief Hollow," where former and future Texas participants had the opportunity to become acquainted with some and to reestablish friendships with those whom they had met in Chile. Many of these relationships endured long after the program's termination.
