Experiment in International Living Offers College Men Travel in Europe

Aims at Creation of International Understanding by Contact with Foreign Youths

Students interested in international relations and in furthering the cause of world peace will hail with enthusiasm the appearance of Donald B. Watt, founder and promoter of the Experiment in International Living, who will give an illustrated lecture in Phillips Brooks House next Monday evening.

After four years of steady growth under Mr. Watt's determined leadership, the Experiment in International Living has attained nation-wide recognition as a constructive medium for effecting a rapprochement of the youth of different nations with a view to cementing the ties of International understanding.

Summer Travel in Europe

During the past four summers, students from various parts of the United States have enjoyed the opportunity to travel cheaply in Europe, to form friendships with the young people of European countries, to live in their families, to learn their languages, and to enjoy with them the pleasures of European outdoor life.

While the Experiment has hitherto been limited to France, England, Germany, and Austria, arrangements have been made for a group of Americans to travel in Spain during the coming summer. An additional group will spend three weeks in Geneva studying the League of Nations and International relations.

Threefold Objective

The objective of Mr. Watt's organization is threefold: first, to enable young men and women from this country to form valuable contacts and lasting friendships with the youth of foreign nations, at the same time offering them opportunities of European travel at a nominal cost; secondly, to open up to them linguistic and cultural opportunities unknown in America; and thirdly, to acquaint them with the varied forms of outdoor life on the rivers and mountains of Europe. From all points of view Mr. Watt's efforts have, in past years, met with vast success.

Diametrically unlike the ordinary European sight-seeing tour, the Experiment in International Living operates on a strictly non-profit basis and aims to instill in American students a closer knowledge and appreciation of European life and customs.

Normal Program of Activities

With this objective in view, the program for a group of students consists of three weeks' life in a European family, followed by four or five weeks of bicycling, camping, and mountain climbing in the company of European young men and women of one's own age. Traveling expenses are extremely light. In In a preliminary game at 6.30 o'clock, the two Freshman aggregations will meet in what promises to be a close, exciting tilt.

Tread Ruml has been converted back into a forward in the absence of Dick Grondahl, laid up with a sprained ankle. Horrigan has been moved up to the vacant center position. Aside from these two changes, the lineup remains the same. Dick Rabenold will pair up with Ruml at forward, MacLeod and Lupien holding down the guard posts.

Jayvees Play Teachers

With one victory this season to its credit, the Jayvee quintet will meet the Bridgewater Teacher's College at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon
