BUREAU OF UNIVERSITY TRAVEL ANNOUNCES NEW PLANS

The Bureau of University Travel of 11 Boyd St., Newton, Mass., has announced its reorganization as an educational institution with a charter prohibiting profits and is offering this year a Scholarship Tour in addition to its usual University Tours. Fifty scholarships of $200 each have been offered to students and teachers of History and the Classics. Other classes under consideration for future trips are art students, teachers and supervisors, students of architecture, social service workers, and the like. The Scholarship Tours form a department of the Bureau's European Summer School and are identical with it in itinerary and merged with it in work.

The University Tours of the Bureau are offered according to announcement "to that large majority of our patrons who claim no other distinction than that of being cultured people with serious interests in travel." These tours cover all parts of the world. The Scholarship Tours are open to students engaged in study in an institution of academic rank and majoring in the subjects indicated, or graduates of such an institution and such a course. They are open also to teachers who have been recently engaged in teaching with specialization the subjects named. Applications for such scholarships should be made to the Bureau, 11 Boyd St., Newton, Mass., not later than April 1 and accompanied by a statement of the applicant's status as a student or teacher and all facts which the applicant judges relevant to the matter. The Bureau's announcement further states that "The privileges of the tour are not restricted to persons actually teaching or engaged in academic study but will be extended freely to those who have a fair equivalent. The essence of the requirement is attainment rather than a mere sympathetic attitute of mind". The Scholarships will be awarded in connection with the European Summer School and application will therefore presuppose registration in some section of the Greek or Italian division of the school for 1922.

The work of the Bureau is wholly in charge of university men of the highest academic standing and its program is rigorously academic in character. Having passed through a long period of progressive experimentation its scheduled tours are announced as "more than a project". According to the reorganization of the Bureau no dividends will henceforth be declared and all resources will be devoted to purely educational ends.
