STUDENT FEDERATION TO SEND GROUP ABROAD

Schlaikjer and Poletti Announce Plans of Organization--Aim Is to Promote International Friendship

Announcement of plans for the National Students Federation of America delegation to Europe this summer was made yesterday by O. A. Schlaikjer 3L and W. C. Poletti 3L, who will have charge of the Harvard group this year.

At the invitation of the Confederation Internationale des Etudiants and the Deutsche Studenschaft 100 students from the colleges and universities in this country will visit Europe, and be entertained by the student bodies of the foreign universities.

The experiment has been tried before. During the past two years 225 American students, men and women, have visited 21 countries of Europe on tours organized by the Confederation Internationale des Etudiants. Arrangements for travel and reception are entirely undertaken by students of the foreign organizations.

This is the third year that the invitation has been issued, the first tour having been organized in the summer of 1926. The aim of the tours is fellowship and mutual understanding between students of the Old World and the New.

Schlaikjer for the past year has been the Harvard representative of the N. S. F. A. and in this capacity attended the convention last fall. Representatives will be chosen by Schlaikjer and Poletti to make the trip.
