OFFER STUDENT TOURS TO EUROPE THIS SUMMER

Institute of International Education to Conduct Trips to England, France, Italy, and Scandinavian Countries--Cost of Trip $675

Detailed plans concerning a series of student tours to Europe were announced yesterday through the Institute of International Education, Department of Student Tours.

This group of students, to which the opportunity of foreign travel is offered as a special inducement for American college youth to obtain a better acquaintance with European countries, has been organized for the summer of 1922 under the auspices of the Institute of International Education, and membership is open to students and instructors in American colleges and universities.

The tours have been established on a non-commercial basis for the purpose of enabling college students to travel in foreign countries during the summer vacations at the lowest possible cost, under capable guidance and instruction. In many cases special courtesies will be accorded to the men by the governments and universities of the countries visited.

Four different tours have been arranged for by the Institute, to England, France, Italy, and the Scandinavian countries. These tours, while divided in Europe, are scheduled to start at the same time from New York on July 1, and will assemble again at Cherbourg for the return trip.

In addition there will be a three days' coaching trip through North Wales, three days more in the lake district, and nearly a week in the Scottish Highlands.
