THE AUSTRALIAN-AMERICAN FULBRIGHT COMMISSION

The Fulbright Agreement being signed in Canberra, November 1949 by U.S. Ambassador to Australia, Hon. Pete Jarman and the Australian Minister for External Affairs, Rt. Hon. Dr H.V. Evatt.

The Australian-American Fulbright Commission was established in 1949, through a binational treaty between the Australian and United States governments.

“It is the task of education, more than of any other instrument of public policy, to help close the dangerous gap between the economic and technological interdependence of the peoples of the world and their psychological, political, and spiritual isolation.”

J. William Fulbright
