The Confederation Internationale des Etudiants which is composed of 30 student organizations in every country in Europe, has invited the National Student Federation of America to send a special delegation of 100 students to Europe this summer. This delegation will consist of 60 men and 40 women from universities and colleges all over the country, who will travel in small groups which will be carefully selected to be representative of the best type of American student.
The delegation will sail from New York on the S. S. Hamburg of the Hamburg-American Line on June 25 and will land at Southampton. The Members will return, sailing from Cherbourg on September 3. Each small group will make an extended visit in one country and will travel the rest of the time, including a week spent at the International Students Center at Geneva and a week at the Cite Universitaire at Paris.
Governments Aid
Private hospitality will be extended to students wherever they go, and with assistance of the reductions obtained by national unions from their governments, the cost will be kept as low as possible. Last year the students who went abroad as guests of the Confederation Internationale des Etudiants obtained free visas from the countries they visited, and this year the National Student Federation of America hopes to arrange for free visas for till the students traveling under its auspices.
The N.S.F.A. has been organized only a few years and last year, for the first time it sent over 200 students to Europe on its tours. The tours this year will cover every section of Western Europe and have been so arranged that students wishing to spend more time in one section of a country in order to study it may do so while others wishing to make a most inclusive trip may cover more territory.
A special feature in this year's plans will be the visit of a group of European Students to the United States during the summer. In being also to offer them hospitality the N.S.F.A. will be able to make a start toward repaying the hospitality which European students have extended to the American C.L.F. delegation both this year and last year.
