Three members of the Dartmouth faculty, Prof. H. D. Foster of the History Department, Prof. G. B. Zug of the Modern Arts Department, and Prof. C. E. Bolser of the Chemistry Department, have been granted leave of absence from the College in order to study in France, England and Germany.
Professor Foster has sailed for L'Havre, France, where he will join Mrs. Foster. They will immediately tour southern France and go to London and Paris, while Professor Foster intends to carry on research work at the British Museum and the Bibliotheque Nationale. Professor and Mrs. Foster will return in the fall.
Professor Zug has gone to Boston, where he will spend six weeks in preparation for the new course in Civic Art which the College is offering for the first time next September and which will be taught by Professor Zug. In Boston he will attend special lecture courses on city planning at M. I. T. and Harvard. He will leave with Mrs Zug for England and France in April and after continuing his preparation abroad will return in the latter part of July.
Professor Bolser sailed for Marseilles and intends to study the French and German methods of teaching elementary chemistry. He will do most of his work in Paris.
