An Early History of International Students at MIT

An Early History of International Students at MIT MIT accepted its first international student in 1866, only one year after its first classes were held in a storage warehouse. By 1895, 39 from a total of 984 students were international. Three times more students came from Turkey than from Texas. In 1909, President Maclaurin began his tenure at MIT with a vision to build a more diverse and inclusive Institute and “build a better understanding between countries.” Through his efforts, the number of international students doubled in just ten years. 1 in 15 students at MIT came from a foreign country, possibly the highest proportion of international students in a U.S. institution. In a 1917 Boston Daily Globe article, the President of the Latin-American Club at MIT stated that “Every Latin-American student at the Tech is just another link between North and South America. … If North and South America stand together they can insure the future peace of the world.” To achieve this ideal, MIT provided admissions pamphlets in Spanish and Chinese, and President Maclaurin traveled the world to recruit foreign students. Numbers prove MIT’s commitment to diversity, but they cannot tell the stories of the international students who came to the Institute despite historical and geographical hurdles and at a time when, besides learning English, they were also required to learn French and German. Last spring, Professor Emma Teng and Chris Peterson  launched a project to highlight MITs committment to diversity and inclusivity (see the listing here; also check out Professor Tengs fascinating research on early Chinese students at MIT). I worked on the project in the summer and over IAP, focusing primarily on creating profiles of early international students. Im an immigrant from Ukraine, so it was especially important to me to  understand the experiences of the immigrant students who came before me. Instead of telling about administrative diversity efforts and policies, I wanted to tell stories. I wanted to show the contributions that international students made to MIT as outstanding friends, experts in their fields, hard-working professionals, and prominent government figures. Wherever these students went after graduation, they remembered their MIT experiences and stayed in touch with the MIT boys.  In light of recent draconian anti-immigrant measures, I want to share some of these students’ stories and, through their experiences, affirm MIT’s support of the international and immigrant members of their community. Two of the students from this post are from the Middle East and two are from Latin America. They graduated between 1888 and 1894. All of the information presented below came from either federal sources or materials from the MIT Archives. A special thanks to the Archives staff! MIDDLE EAST Nicolas Theophanes Paraschos Constantinople, Turkey; Born in Athens, Greece Class of 1892 Course I. Civil Engineering. Extracurriculars: Society of ‘92, Civil Engineering Society Nicolas T. Paraschos was funny. Or at least his classmates thought so. The yearbook published by the Class of 1892 featured Paraschos’ joke, three quotes, and a story of his “experiment” included right in the Civil Engineering course historyâ€"a record number of mentions! Despite the yearbook claims, Mr. Paraschos was not a great student. In the MIT Faculty Records (the Committee on Academic Performance  records of the time), he’d been informed twice that his record was “very unsatisfactory, and that unless he make marked improvement he cannot be graduated.” And once he was “required to explain absence from examinations.” Fortunately, Nicolas still graduated in four years (not common at the time) with a thesis titled “Experiments on Resistance of Riveted Joints to Bending.” He had just turned twenty! After graduation, Nicolas moved back to Constantinople, Turkey to become a Civil Engineer, and “few of his old friends [had] been without a hearty invitation to visit him in Constantinople.” Alas, Nicolas’ friends never got to visit. Nicolas Theophanes Paraschos died less than a year after his graduation of typhoid fever. He was the first Class of 1892 graduate to pass away, and, highlighting his popularity, there were two obituaries about him published in one issue of The Tech. An excerpt from one of the obituaries is included below (it’s funny). Mr. Paraschos was a prominent figure among his classmates; his was one of those characters whose memory is always the last to die out in the minds of those who knew him. He was the butt of many a good-natured joke, whose thrust, however, he always parried with that zest which simply invites another in this contrary world of ours. He was a simple gentleman, one of Natures own, and, though coming as he did from a far off country to cast his manly student lot with that of those whose surroundings were so different, he shone among them all by virtue of his manliness. Nicolas may have been the funniest member of the Class of 1892, but I hope he is remembered also by his final communication with MIT. The letter below was published in The Tech less than a month before Nicolas’ death. Toros Hovhannes Torossian Born in Bardizag, Turkey; Grew up in Roustchuk, Bulgaria Class of 1894 (originally Class of 1893) Candidate for an Advanced Degree (graduate) and Bachelor of Science in Course I. Civil Engineering B. A. from Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey Extracurricular: Civil Engineering Society (with N.T. Paraschos) For the first half of his MIT career, Toros was succeeding as both a graduate and undergraduate student. In 1890, Committee on Scholarships recommended him “for the favorable consideration of the Corporation.” In 1891, Toros’ third year at MIT, the Corporation fully covered his tuition, remarkable at a time when scholarship funds were limited. Toros was the only student that year to receive the full tuition award! Many of the international students at the time struggled with academics at some point in their MIT career, usually around freshman yearâ€"adjustment was hard. Fortunately, MIT faculty made accommodations for these students, for example, special examinations and excuses from foreign languages. By contrast, Toros struggled in his senior year. His scholarship application was referred to the executive committee “without recommendations.” The Faculty did not “regard him as a candidate for graduation the present year.” The summer after Toros’ fourth year, the Faculty stated that “his graduation next year [was] very doubtful” (though Toros did graduate in five years, in 1894). After graduation, Toros experimented with different careers. He started off in the “flour business and industry” in Bulgaria. Then he moved to Persia to do construction work for the Russian government with his brother. The brothers were especially successful because, together, “they were able to speak English, French, German, Russian, Persian, Turkish, Armenian, and Bulgarian languages.” After six years of construction work, Toros returned briefly to the flour business, but soon became a municipal engineer in a “small down on the Danube” (Lome, Bulgaria). During his five years’ administration, “water supply, sewers, electric lighting, public bath houses and parks were established and a dozen new school houses built.” Toros later wrote to his former MIT classmates, “I see that I might have had a better success if instead of engineering, I had studied architecture at the Institute.” During this time, Toros also published several articles and “sent several most interesting letters to the Class Secretary, some of which have been published” (and I have yet to find them). One of Toros’ main interests was the “replanning of badly laid out old cities.” LATIN AMERICA Luís Francísco Verges Y Ramos Arroyo, Puerto Rico (before it was a U.S. Territory) Class of 1891 Course I. Civil Engineering Extracurriculars: Society of ‘91, Civil Engineering Society (Honorary Member; with N.T. Paraschos and T. H. Torossian) Assistant Instructor in Civil Engineering at MIT (1892) Over a hundred years after Luís Francisco Verges’ death, a fellowship in his name is still given out to any MIT “graduate student conducting work in the field of the sugar industry.” The fellowship includes tuition, student health insurance and a $2,664 stipend. Luís Fransisco Verges was incredibly wealthy. Luís was also a good student. Unlike Nicolas T. Paraschos, he appeared zero times in the Faculty Records. He graduated in four years, then remained at MIT for another year as an Assistant Instructor in Civil Engineering and was inducted an Honorary Member to the Civil Engineering Society. He looked like this (according to his U.S. passport application): 5 foot 9 inches tall, high forehead, blue eyes, straight nose, medium mouth, round chin, brown hair, medium complexion, and long face. Luís gained success (and wealth) when he returned to Puerto Rico to continue the sugar business of his father. At the time, the sugar industry in Puerto Rico was booming. Verges made his father’s, as well several other sugar plantations, highly profitable. He was also the director of five different sugar factories and took “an active part in forming the Association of Sugar Growers of Puerto Rico, of which body he was vice-president.” In 2011, the Luís Fransisco Verges fellowship recipient conducted research in Puerto Rico to see how “knowledge, expertise, practices, and corruption transformed the Atlantic sugar economy at the turn of the 20th century.” Thus, the Verges fellowship recipient studied Verges’ work (and possibly corruption) using Verges’ own money, a 101 years after Verges’ deathâ€"a lasting legacy! George Ulysses Grant Holman Valparaiso, Chile; Immigrated with family to East Boston, U.S. Class of 1888 (graduated in 1889) Course VI. Electrical Engineering Extracurriculars: Advertising Agent for second ever issue of the MIT yearbook, Technique; President of Society of ‘88; Manager of the Afternoon Tech Parties Club; Cadet Officer; Member of ‘88 Class-Day Committee; Member of Annual Class Supper Committee. Made a toast at the Annual Class Supper titled “The Pin” with the tagline “I do not set my life at a pin’s fee” (from  Hamlet).     At a time when the average Technology student pursued two extracurriculars, George U.G. Holman pursued six, including two leadership positionsâ€"great resume material! Holman’s transcript wasn’t as great. Freshman year, in the Faculty Records, he was “called to his low record in Physics + Mathematics [and] warned that he must improve to be admitted to [Course] VI next year.” In subsequent years George was again “warned that he must show marked improvement to continue” and “informed that he cannot hope for the Degree next year” (he finally graduated in five years in 1889). After graduating, George switched workplaces frequently, holding eight different positions in two countries between 1898 and 1908. In 1900, he worked at General Electric in New York. Two years later, he served as a Member on the Executive Committee of the Canadian Electrical Society. George also maintained memberships at multiple engineers’ or other clubs, like the Levis (Canada) Snow-shoe Club (of which he was an Honorary  Member). He published five academic papers. And he married an MIT Class of 1892 Alum, who continued working after the marriage and became a noted professional genealogist. Later in life, Holman went into politics, holding several representative positions, including Chairman of the Hartford District Committee for MIT alumni. Holman’s life is the dream for a Course VI graduateâ€"even in the 20th century, grades did not affect the employability of Electrical Engineers. And it is best summed up by his former MIT classmates in the 1932 Class of ‘88 History, as part of the Class of ‘88 “A Ballard of Names and Fames.”

If you usually look for job posts on LinkedIn, you might have noticed that some job posts are accompanied by a disclaimer that says “Applicants with recommendations are preferred.” What are these recommendations?The recommendations are essentially short statements from other LinkedIn users speaking about your expertise, skills, work experience, personal qualities, and so on.Since it describes something about you, a LinkedIn recommendation should be written by a LinkedIn user who knows you personally and has worked with you. You can think of recommendations as LinkedIn’s version of a letter of reference or a recommendation letter.Why are LinkedIn recommendations so crucial for your job search? LinkedIn recommendations are based on a social and physiological phenomenon known as social proof.Social proof is a phenomenon that influences people’s behavior and actions based on the actions of other people around them.Imagine walking down the street and after going round a corner, you find everyone looking up at the sky. Your first instinct will be to look up at the sky as well, right? The same applies when you are looking for a restaurant to have your lunch.If you look inside one restaurant and notice that it is empty, you automatically assume that that the food there is not good and continue walking down the street. Once you come to another restaurant that is crowded, you conclude that the food there is great and you go inside.After all, there must be something that attracts all these people. They cannot all be wrong about the place.This is the same principle on which LinkedIn recommendations are based. Hiring is a risk for recruiters. They don’t want to hire someone only to find that he is not the right fit for the company or that he cannot actually do wh at he claims to do.Just like you did with the restaurants, they need something to convince them that one option is better than the other, without actually having to try out both options.This is where LinkedIn recommendations come in. They provide credibility for you. If 10 people have worked with you and they all claim that you are a good person to work with and an expert in what you do, then they cannot all possibly be wrong. This gives the recruiter confidence in hiring you compared to hiring someone with no recommendations.This is a clear indicator that LinkedIn recommendations can add value to your profile and increase your chances of getting hired. Unfortunately, most recommendations do not come naturally. If you wait for your connections to take the initiative to recommend you, there is a high chance you will end up with no recommendations.If you want recommendations, you have to proactively seek them out. You should also make sure you are seeking out amazing recommendations t hat will actually improve your chances success, rather than recommendations that fill up your profile without adding any value.So, how do you go about getting the right LinkedIn recommendations?KEYS TO SCORING AMAZING LINKEDIN RECOMMENDATIONSBelow are the four key steps you need to follow to score amazing LinkedIn recommendations that add value to your profile and increase your likelihood of being invited to job interviews and getting hired.Ask For Recommendations From The Right PeopleWhile recommendations are good for your LinkedIn profile, you should not request for recommendations from everyone. When it comes to recommendations, most people actually think that the best recommendations are from connections with the most impressive titles.Sure, having recommendations from the CEOs and presidents of the companies you have worked for may look good on your profile, but these recommendations might not add any value to your job search.If you did not work or interact directly with these top level executives, their recommendations are going to sound a bit more general compared to recommendations from someone who knows specific details about you and your work experience or qualifications.When choosing people to ask for recommendations, you should zero in on people who not only look good on your profile, but people who can actually describe the specific thing that makes you a great choice for the company or position you are targeting.When choosing the people to ask for recommendations, there are some things you need to keep in mind. You should choose a person that:Has worked closely with you for a period of about six months or more.Has seen your skills and expertise in action.Has benefited in one way or another from your skills and expertise.Works in the same industry as yourself or in the same industry as the audience you are targeting with the recommendations (executives, recruiters, clients, and so on).Holds you in positive regard (you don’t want a recommendation from someone who loathes you or your work).Has strong writing skills (can properly highlight your strengths and skills).Is your connection on LinkedIn. LinkedIn does not allow recommendations from people you are not connected to.Has no problem with recommending you.Going by these guidelines, the best people to ask for recommendations are colleagues or former colleagues, managers/supervisors you worked directly under or clients you worked for directly.Your colleagues and team mates are a particularly good option because they have seen you at work for some time and can actually speak knowledgeably about your experience. They also understand what is like working with you, which is something recruiters and hiring managers might be particularly interested in.It is also not wise to seek all your recommendations from people you have worked with in the same job or organization. Ideally, you want recommendations from a variety of people (teammates, bosses, clients, employees who have worked under you, and so on).Such varied recommendations highlight different skills abilities and experiences, compared to having all your recommendations from people who have all worked with you in the same capacity.Varied recommendations give a potential recruiter a picture of who you are as an employee, a teammate, a manager and as a person. Don’t go for too many recommendations, though.Having so many different opinions about you can water down the message from the recommendations. A good number to aim for is about 7 to 10 recommendations.Know How To Request For RecommendationsMost people don’t even know whether LinkedIn allows people to request for recommendations. The “Request a Recommendation” screen is not very obvious, which is part of the reason many job seekers do not bother with recommendations. There are two ways to get to the “Request a Recommendation” screen.Method 1Step 1: Go to the search bar and search for the person you want to send a recommendation request. Click on the name of the person to open his or her profile.Step 2: On the person’s profile, click on the “More…” button right below their profile picture and next to the “Message” button. This will bring up a drop-down menu.Step 3: On the drop-down menu, click on “Request a Recommendation.” This will bring up a pop-up menu.Step 4: On the pop-up menu, you will be prompted to select your relationship with the person and your position at the time the two of you worked together.Step 5: You will be then be given a message box where you can write your message and send it to the person.Method 2Step 1: Click on your avatar on the top navigation bar to open your profile.Step 2: On your profile page, click on the “Add Profile Section” button. This will bring up a drop-down Step 3: On the drop-down menu, click on “Additional Information” section to expand it. After expanding this section, you will see the option to “Request a Recommendation.”Step 3: Once you click o n the “Request a Recommendation” button, a pop-up menu will come up prompting you to enter the name of the person you want to request for a recommendation.Step 4: Once you enter a few letters, LinkedIn will bring up the names of your connections whose names start with these letters. Click on the name of the person you want to request for a recommendation once it shows up.Step 5: From there, another pop-up menu will come up prompting you to select your relationship with the person and your position at the time the two of you worked together.Step 6: You will be then be given a message box where you can write your message and send it to the person.Personalize Your Connection RequestOnce you get to the message box, you will notice that LinkedIn provides a default message to request for a recommendation. The default message is“Hello {name}, will you write me a recommendation?”Don’t use this auto-generated message. Using the default message will make you seem like a spammer who is trying to get recommendations from wherever he can, and your chances of getting someone to actually write you a recommendation will be greatly reduced.What you need to do here is to personalize the message to suit the person you are sending the request to. You want them to feel special because you chose them as the best person to give you a recommendation.To write a great, personalized recommendation request that will result in an awesome recommendation, there are some things you need to keep in mind. These include:What you would like the recommendation to communicate: Different recommendations serve different purposes. A recommendation that helps you find a new job might not work if you are trying to attract new clients. Therefore, you need to decide what you want to accomplish with the recommendation, and the target audience for the recommendation.This will influence who you ask for the recommendation and how they will write the recommendation.For instance, if your aim is to at tract new clients, you might request a former client to write you a recommendation detailing how you helped them achieve their objectives.On the other hand, if you are trying to get in touch with a recruiter or hiring manager in regards to an open position, you should go for a recommendation from a colleague or a manager highlighting your exemplary performance at work.Explain why you selected them: Once you start writing the message to accompany your request, you should explain why you selected them. Remember how we said that you need to make them feel special, that this request is not something you are sending to everybody?This is where you do that.Below is an example of how you can explain why you selected them:“I’m really proud of the results we achieved on the Coca Cola marketing campaign and would like to highlight the results to a potential employer. Could you write a recommendation for me based on the work we did together on that project?”Such a message shows them that you value them for the experiences both of you have had together. The message would not make sense to any other person since they did not work with you on the Coca Cola project.Request specific details: If you simply ask someone to write you a recommendation without being specific on what exactly you want them to say, there is a high chance they will simply write a general recommendation that won’t help you in any way. Consider the following recommendations:“David is a really nice person. It was really great working with him.”“Sam is a motivated and very hard working guy.”“Prudence is an awesome person. Everyone in the office loves her cheerfulness.”While such recommendations may sound nice, they do not share any information that would make a prospective employer hire you. Anyone can say that they are nice or hardworking or motivated on their resume.They want to know what specific skills (especially soft skills) you bring to the table. If your colleagues think you are hardworking, they want to know why the colleagues think so.To avoid having the person you are reaching out to write such a general recommendation, you should be specific on the details you want them to include in the recommendation.For instance, if you worked on a specific project that you want your prospective employer to know about, you can ask a colleague to talk about the project, highlighting specific details about your contribution to the project, such as your amazing design skills, your ability to work with strict deadlines, or your attention to details.If you want to highlight your leadership skills, you might ask your supervisor to write about that time your team leader was pulled from the project and you stepped up to fill his position, while highlighting how you managed to keep your team motivated and drive them to achieve results.Give them a length guideline: When asking someone to write you a recommendation, it is a wise move to give them a length guideline. This helps in two ways. First, it makes it easy for them to estimate how long your request will take them. Second, it makes it easier for them to write a great recommendation without worrying whether they are writing too little or too much.Word your request politely: When you ask someone to right you a LinkedIn recommendation, you are essentially asking them for a favor. Therefore, you need to make it clear to them that it is not something they are obligated to do. To make it clear that you recognize that you are requesting for a favor, consider using phrases like “when you have the time,” or “if it’s not too much trouble.” Using such phrases shows that you are being respectful of their time. It also does not give them a lot of pressure to write the recommendation for you. It gives them an honorable way of declining if they cannot write the recommendation for some reason.Below is an example of how to write a personalized recommendation request message using the above guidelines:“De ar Carol,I hope you have been great down in Florida! I am in the process of looking for new opportunities as a marketing manager and was wondering if you would mind writing a LinkedIn recommendation for me based on the time we spent working on marketing projects together. I’m especially proud of the results we achieved on the Coca Cola marketing campaign and would like to highlight the results to a potential employer. Could you write a recommendation for me based on the work we did together on that project?”Since I am looking to move into a management position, I would ideally love to highlight my leadership and decision making skills. If you could speak about your experience working with me as my supervisor while emphasizing how I displayed these skills, it would be especially helpful to me. The recommendation doesn’t have to be a long one. A few (3-4) sentences will do. I would really appreciate it if you could do that for me if it’s not too much trouble. If there is anyth ing I can do to help, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.Best regards,Kelvin.”Such a recommendation request works because it adheres to all the guidelines discussed above.It is clear from this message that the aim is to find a new job. It explains to the recipient why I chose her and requests specific details that I want her to mention in the recommendation (my leadership and decision making skills).It gives the recipient the reassurance that they don’t have to spend a lot of time writing the recommendation and is worded politely. Watch how I even close by offering to help in case the recipient needs it.Space Out Your RequestsThere is one thing I have noticed with most people after they learn the importance of LinkedIn recommendations. They go out and immediately ask several people to write recommendations for them.Sure, this will get you several recommendations, but there is one problem with this approach. LinkedIn recommendations come with a time stamp showing when they were posted.If you ask send ten recommendation requests in a day and the ten people write recommendations for you within a day or two, it will be clear to a recruiter, hiring manager or client that you solicited these recommendations with the aim of influencing their judgment, and therefore they will probably ignore the recommendations.Requesting several recommendations at once works against your goals. The solution, therefore, is to space out your recommendations. If there is a spacing of a few weeks or months between recommendations, they look like they are coming organically, which in turn makes them a lot more believable.WRAPPING UPLinkedIn recommendations are like the regular recommendation letters you typically attach when sending a job application the traditional way.Having great recommendations on your LinkedIn profile can be a great way for you to stand a foot above other job seekers, especially considering that most job seekers do not even have any recommendations to start with.Great recommendations show prospective employers and clients what others think of your skills and expertise and give them the confidence that they won’t be taking a huge risk by hiring you.
