A Surtax

Hindus, Chinese, Siberians and other foreigners desiring instruction from the University of California must henceforth pay a $50 fee over and above the $150 demanded of all students who are not California citizens.

Residents of one state who study at a state university in another state are frequently charged extra, but the surtax on foreign students is a comparatively new departure, which has been subjected to hostile criticism on the ground that it is detrimental to America's international influence and associations.
