Historical information

James Yapp, pictured here, was a second year Arts student from North Borneo studying under the Colombo Plan, and among the first residents of International House in 1957. He was President of the Borneo Students' Association in Melbourne, and took part in the IH Student Club, formed in the first year of student residence. At the time of Casey's visit, IH was preparing to take forty-two students, twenty-four of whom were international scholars on the Colombo Plan, who would all be housed in the Clunies Ross Wing.
