UNIVERSITY UNION IN EUROPE BROADENS ITS ACTIVITY

The American University Union in Europe has asked that the attention of Dartmouth alumni be called to the establishment of new offices of the Union in London, at 50 Russell Square, and in Paris, at 1 Rue de Fleurus, opposite the Luxembourg Garden. These offices are at the service of American students abroad. Attaches will have information on most of the subjects which interest those who go to foreign countries for study. It is particularly suggested that this information will be valuable to those seeking to learn exact requirements for foreign degrees. These have been changed a good deal since the war, and it is difficult to obtain accurate information. Professor Charles B. Vibbert will answer inquiries addressed to him at the Paris office, and Dr. G. E. MacLean those sent to the London office. Official communications should be addressed in the first instance to Profesor J. W. Cunliffe, Journalism Building, Columbia University.

The Union is now reorganizing its activities to fill afterwar needs. Accordingly it has changed the statement of its purpose to the following: "The general object of The Union shall be to serve as a bond between the universities of the United States and those of European nations, especially by encouraging the attendance and advancing the welfare of American students at the universities of France, Great Britain and Italy, in such ways as the trustees may see fit."

The municipality of Paris, recognizing the value of the work of the union has offered it a plot of land valued at 500,000 francs, admirably situated between the Sorbonne and the Beaux Arts. On this plot it is proposed to erect a building for the permanent home of'the Union which for the present will occupy the temporary quarters in the rue de Fleurus.
