Why Study Abroad ?

As a young, thriving and complex nation. wohive been so preoccupied with developing.IJ own land and solving our national

that we have at times neglectedstudy of other peoples, other languages

god other cultures. Whatever the justificationfor this sort of isolationism in previousdecades, it is a luxury we can no longerafford. Our vast global commitments make itimperative that we possess the skilledmanpower necessary to discharge ourinternational obligations. Skilled manpowerranks among our most important nationalneeds; its future availability could becomeone of our greatest national assets.

Foreign language fluency and theunderstanding of foreign values and attitudesare the foundations of these skills. Whilebooks and films can help develop such skills.there is no substitute for studying and livingabroad.

Already the junior-year-abroad programs aredoing much to encourage languageproficiency and broaden internationalperspectives. However, we believe thatwell-motivated students may profit perhapseven more by a still earlier exposure tostudying and living abroad.

For serious language students. nine monthsof supervised study abroad provide anunparalleled opportunity for attaining fluencyin the foreign language of their choosing.Virtually every experience will be a form oflanguage education, particularly if studentslive in dormitories occupied by theirEuropean counterparts few of whom willspeak English. Schooling will thus continuepractically on a round-the-clock basis. Thereis no need to stress that students withfluency in a foreign language possess anenormous advantage when they return totheir colleges in the United States.

For students intending to major in subjectsother than modern languages, a year of study8

in Britain is a truly valuable experience.British higher education, with its smallclasses. tutorial techniques. emphasis oncreative literary skills and interest inindividual creative work has much to offer.The opportunity to study literature in the landof Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens and Hardyand to study history in a country where somuch history was made and survives, is richlyrewarding. Many subjects gain freshnessfrom being studied on the other side of theAtlantic and due to possession of a commonlanguage there are no barriers to study indepth.

The growth of African Studies in the UnitedStates has led to the establishment of aprogram in Kenya offering a remarkableopportunity for the gaining of insight intoAfrican society and the problems of thedeveloping world.

Aside from academic competency. a periodof study abroad can help develop students'maturity and self-confidence. "Travel is fatalto prejudice. bigotry and narrow-mindednessall foes to real understanding ",Mark Twain once remarked. "Likewise,tolerance or broad. wholesome, charitableviews of men and things cannot be acquiredby vegetating in our little corner of the earthall one's lifetime.-

Study abroad can serve still another purpose.It can provide students with a breathingspace, a time for reflection andre-examination. By emphasizing individualattention and guidance. the AIFS AcademicYear in Europe and Africa is designed to helpopen up new perspectives and provide newinsights destined to be of value during anentire lifetime.

Philosophyof AIFSAcademic Year Programs

AIFS believes that foreign study programs, ifthey are to benefit students to the maximumpossible extent, should adhere to thefollowing principles:

Selection of StudentsAIFS believes that only those students whoare emotionally and academically qualified toparticipate successfully in a foreign studycourse should enroll in its programs. A periodof foreign study demands tremendousadjustment by the typical American student.Aside from the often unpredictable effects ofculture shock, students abroad have to adjustto different teaching techniques, housingconditions, and social customs.

OrientationAIFS believes that a carefully plannedorientation program at the beginning of eachprogram is vital to the success of eachcourse. For example, AIFS students enrolleoin the Paris and Grenoble programs spendfour weeks in Vichy during which they aregiven intensive language instruction as wellas introductory counsel and advice abouttheir host country.

Cultural ImmersionThe Institute believes that its programsshould provide the broadest possibleexposure to the cultural heritage of the hostcountry. AIFS is against enrolling Americanstudents in a "golden ghetto" environment ofa special course for Americans taught,perhaps, by American teachers. All AIFScourses are taught by faculty of the foreignuniversity. Also where possible, AIFSstudents live with their foreign studentcontemporaries in student residences or withfamilies. Every possible effort is made tointegrate AIFS students into tho social life ofthe foreign university. To this end, AIFSstudents are enrolled as memoers inuniversity societies and clubs and areencouraged to participate in universitySports. An active cultural program is also

arranged at no additional cost on eachcampus by the resident director. A typicalmonthly program on a campus is as follows:- visit to the theater-party with students of the university

guest lecture by a distinguished localpersonality- excursion to a local place of interest.

CounsellingAll AIFS courses enjoy the full services of aresident AIFS Dean of Students. The solefunction of these directors is to ensure thewelfare of AIFS students. Theseadministrators are chosen for their wideexperience of conditions abroad, their fluencyin the local language and thcir familiaritywith American students. In many cases. AIFSdirectors have had several years experiencewith their campus which enables them togive invaluable advice to their students.

Academic ExcellenceThe foreign universities who have agreed toaccept AIFS students only do so on theunderstanding that students have a genuineinterest in their studies. Students areexpected to attend class regularly and tocomplete written assignments on time.

Administrative Supportand Financial ResponsibilityBesides the Greenwich office in the UnitedStates. AIFS maintains a large office inLondon staffed by several skilled andexperienced program directors, who visit the12 AIFS campuses on a regular basis toensure all is going well. This office isequipped with excellent telephone and telexfacilities which ensures that problemsinvolving .students or parents receiveimmediate attention. Student tuition fees arecarefully safeguarded and all arrangementssuch as accommodation reservations areconfirmed well in advance with substantialdeposits.

Who Should Apply?

The program consists of carefully supervisedone or two semester courses of instruction atuniversities and colleges in Britain, France,Greece, Austria, Italy, Spain, East Africa, andthe Soviet Union designed to meet thespecial needs of the four types of studentswho can derive the greatest benefit fromstudy abroad.

A. Courses for PostgraduateStudents and Teacherson SabbaticalPrograms in London, Birmingham and Parisare available for teachers on sabbatical orpostgraduate students, both on one semesteror a full academic year basis.

8. College Juniors and SophomoresPrograms in this group are for studentsalready enrolled in an Amlican college whowish to spend a year abroad. They arenormally recommended for sophomores orjuniors intending to major in French, Spanish,German, Italian, English Literature andDrama, Fine Arts, History, Sociology.International Relations, CommunicationArts and Film and African studies.

Students in this category may apply for theAl FS courses in Aberdeen, Athens, Grenoble,London, Nairobi, Paris, Perugia, Salamanca,Salzburg and the Soviet Union.

For the academic year 1972-73 over BOpercent of the AIFS enrollments were fromstudents in this category. A complete list ofthe over 150 American colleges anduniversities who enrolled students in AIFScourses on this basis is shown at the back ofthe catalogue.

Qualified students normally becomematriculated members of the Europeanuniversities. They must, however, makespecial arrangements for transfer of creditwith their American colleges beforedeparture for Europe, since Europeanuniversities do not use the credit systememployed in the United States. The coursesare designed for students enrolled in collegeswhich view with favor the idea of spending ayear abroad at a European university, but donot offer foreign study programs of their own.The Institute will be pleased to cooperatefully with the administration of these collegesin arranging courses of .tudy which can beaccepted for credit. The Institute viii arrangeprograms for both indivkluals and tor groupsof students. Arrangements are also availablefor a group of students to be accompinied bya member of their college faculty. A largegroup of students from Principia College,Illinois, studies at Richmond College, Londonon this basis.

C. Courses for College Fres; hmen andInterim Year StudentsThese courses are offered for. high schoolgraduates who want to spend one or twoyears abroad before entering an AmericanCollege. Students specifically desiringtransfer credit for their studies are adviser? toapply for enrollment in Richmond Collage,London, which offers courses at 100 and200 level leading to the A.A. degree

Students who are primarily interested inimproving their qualifications for Collegeentry by an intensive study of French.German, Spanish, or Fine Arts, and or whodesire a year's study abroad for reflectionmay also apply for the courses in Grenoble,Evian-les-Bains, Salzburg, Salamanca,Perugia. Athens and for the three-campusprograms in Paris (fall quarter),London (winter quarter) and Perugia. orSalamanca, or Salzburg (students chooseone of these campuses for the springquarter). All programs emphasize individualattention and guidance and provide students

with valuable breathing space for reflectionand time to tnink about things before startingtheir college careers.Some guidance will be given tothose students desiring help with collegeentrance procedures. The Institutewill also arrange for students to take collegeentrance examinations abroad should this benecessary. However, those students whodefinitely intend to apply for acceptance by aparticular U.S. college are strongly advised tocontact the college admissions officer beforedeparture for Europe. They should seekspecific information on such matters as creditrequirements, deadlines and applicationforms.

A large number of distinguished American.1 colleges and universities have accepted AIFS

"* . interim-year students including Harvard,Sarah Lawrence, Fairfield, Marymount,Ithaca, Drew and many others.

D. Gifted High School Students!A These courses are intended for those gifted

, high school seniors who have alreadycompleted most or all of the normalrequirements for graduation from anAmerican high school and who have alreadybeen accepted by the college of their choice.Instead of marking time at high schoolwaiting for graduation, these students mayspend the time more profitably abroadmastering a foreign language or making anintensive study of English Literature andDrama, History or Fine Arts. Students in thiscategory usually request their high schoolprincipal to grant them early graduation orleave of absence.Students in this category may spend eitherthe whole year, one semester or one quarterabroad. They may enroll for the year or justone semester in the courses at RichmondCollege, London, Evian, Grenoble, Perugia.Salzburg or Salamanca and also for one, twoor three quarters in the three-campus, program in London. Paris, Salzburg, Perugiaand Salamanca.

The Comparative Cultures Program or theFinishing Year in Europe Program has beencreated as a full year educational experience,consisting of three terms of ten weeks each,but students may, if they wish, enroll for oneor two terms only.

Selective Service RegulationsIt is imperative that every student consultswith his local draft office as soon as hemakes a firm decision to study abroad.

Every male student accepted for the coursesmust obtain a copy of Selective Service Form300 from his local draft board before heleaves the United States.

Members of the Armed Forces Reserve Unitsmust also have permission from the chiefof their -y district before leaving thecountry. The AIFS Admissions Officer will bepleased to write to the local draft board of aregistered student certifying his acceptancefor a full time course of study at one of theInstitute's associated universities. Hissituation with regard to draft deferment willbe the same as if he were registered in acollege in the United States.

Standards of ConductStudents should remember that they will beacting as student representatives of theUnited States. They should remember thatmany Europeans base their opinion ofAmerica as a whole on the way Americanstudents and visitors behave. Individuals in astrange or new environment often behave ina manner they would consider unbecoming ifthey witnessed it in their own country. Aquiet, unassuming, but warm and friendlyapproach at the beginning of s year abroad isa sure formula for success. The Institute'sexcellent relations with its associatedEuropean universities have been enhancedby the positive attitude of its students duringthe past years. Future students will beexpected to live up to this reputation.

The followingenforced:SuperviFore'

mpus regulations will be

s on ... Tha American Institute forgn Study, its resident directors end

oordinators are in charge of the welfare andbehaviour of students. Students are expectedto cooperate with the directors and officers ofthe Institute.

Dormitory Hours ... Students will beexpected to conform with the regulations orcustoms relating to European students at theuniversity campus of their choice.14'

Motor Vehicles ... It is not necessary forstudents to own and operate automobiles atEuropean universities since publictransportation is normally convenient andinexpensive. Students will not, therefore. beencouraged to own cars. If a car will be usedthe student must obtain from the Registrar'sDepartment the necessary ParentalPermission Form and return this duly: ;ompleted. Once overseas. the student mustcomply with all local licensing and insuranceregulations.

Alcohol and Drugs ... Excessiveconsumption of alcohol will be regarded as asevere breach of acceptable behavior and willbe treated accordingly. All unauthorized drugtaking is forbidden.

Attendance at Class ... Except forabsences caused by illness or personalemergencies. students are expected to attendall classes for which they are registered.Professors will warn students whoseperformance is being impaired by failure toattend class regularly. A student may bebarred from further attending a course, when,in the opinion of the instructor and the AIFSresident director. negligence in classattendance indicates failure to make areasonable attempt to fulfill courserequirements. Parents will be notified if thisOccurs.

Approved Absences ... Students wishingto leave the campus overnight must obtainpermission from the resident director.Parental permission must also be obtainedfor longer leaves. This rule must be strictlyobserved at all times since thoughtlessnesson the part of the student ce.ises needlessworry to the resident director and distress toparents and friends.

Ignorance of the requirements andinformation contained in this brochure willnot be accepted as an excuse and studentsare therefore advised to read the informationcontained in this catalogue with the greatestcare.

In cases of misconduct, a student may bewarned, placed on non-academic probation.or expelled as the circumstances warrant.The decision of the AIFS resident director willbe final in all cases.

Academic RecordsThere is no standard procedure or recognizedscheme of assessment in Europeanuniversities that is readily comparable withthe credit system in an American university.For this reason your resident dean worksclosely with the university registrar and credithours shown on transcripts are to beunderstood as semester credit hours witheach credit hour corresponding to 15 or moreclass hours.

Students in European universities are oftenrequired to undertake a heavy work loadoutside their lectures and this may result instudents receiving up to twenty semestercredit hours. If possible. study schedules areaveraged out at fifteen semester credit hours.In certain instances. related one hour coursesmay be combined into a single three hour ortwo hour course as understood by Americanuniversities. All courses for which grades aregiven involve examinations. papers. formaloral interrogation or some combination of theabove.

Academic institutions in Europe grade on avariety of scales. However. grades awardedwill tend to be A. B. C, D and E. Grade A isreceived for an excellent or first classperformance; Grade B is the normal awardfor the average student; Grade C is theminimum pass grade of one institutionacceptable at another. Grade D impliessatisfactory attendance but a poorperformance in written work. Grade E isreserved for bad attendance or absence ofwritten work.

Transcript Due DatesOwing to the unfamiliarity of EuropeanUniversities with the credit and transcriptsystem, students (and their parentUniversities and Colleges in the UnitedStates) should expect some delay in the issueof transcript. Generally the Institute will try tomake transcripts available by the followingdates:

Fall Quarter: January 1.First Semester: March 1.Winter Quarter: April 15.Second Semester & Spring Quarter: July 15.

HealthEvery campus has its own infirmary to takecare of minor ailments. In addition. theInstitute has arranged for students requiringtreatment for more serious illnesses andaccidents to receive immediate attentionfrom the recommended university doctor andhospital in each city. The compulsory medicaland school fees insurance discussed belowcovers all treatment costs in excess of thedeductible of $10 per disability or sickness.

InsuranceThe Institute requires every participant topurchase the special group insurance policyprepared for our students by the InsuranceCompany of North America. This policycovers refund of school fees for students whoare unable to participate in the programbecause of sickness: the cost of the returnairfare from Europe for students who miss anAl FS charter flight (for which they had beenbooked) because of illness; and the cost ofmedical treatment in Europe. The cost of thisinsurance (including administration andclaims processing) is $25. Students will bebilled at the same time they receive theinvoice for the payment of the first semestertuition fees.Details of the policy are as follows:1. Refund of School FeesThe insurance pays for certain refunds (seepage 16 for full details) of school fees.provided a certificate of illness or injurywhich results in inability to participate in theprogram is obtained from an approved INAdoctor.2. Payment of Medical Expenses inEuropeThe insurance covers payments up to amaximum of $2.000 for treatment in Europe.There is a deductible of $10 per disability orsickness. Among items covered aretreatment by a physician or surgeon. nursesfees. X-rays, ambulance or therapeuticservices, drugs and medicines prescribed bya physician. hospital room and board (semi-private accommodation costing up to amaximum of $25 a day). Unlike most otherplans. the INA policy settles claims abroad.For example. should a student requirehospitalization abroad the InsuranceCompany of North America will pay for thetreatment directly (provided the expense is inexcess of $25), thus avoiding any delay inpayment. Treatments costing more than $10but less than $25. should be paid for bystudents and a refund claim made on returnto the United States.3. Return Airfare from EuropeThis insurance covers the cost of thestudent's airfare back from Europe on aregularly scheduled commercial flight. shouldthe student be unable to return on his AIFScharter flight because of illness or accident.

Extra Money RequirementsThe fees charged by the Institute areessentially comprehensive and Jver tuitionand full board, library and societymembership as described in each section ofthis catalogue. It is unlikely that students willneed to budget more than $50 per month furtheir own expenditures though personalspending is a matter of individual taste. MostEuropean students expect to survive inreasonable comfort on approximately $30per month including the cost of local travel.

Changes and CancellationsThe Institute reserves the right to makecancellations, changes or substitutions incases of emergency or changed conditions,or in the interest of each group. In addition,tuition costs are based on tuition fees,lodging rates and currency exchange ratescurrently in force and are subject to minorchange.

Financial Aid1. Students enrolling in the Paris programmay elect to stay with French families on anau-pair basis. Tuition fees for the academicyear for these students are reduced by $750.Full details are given on page 16

2. Two scholarships are available for theLondon program of $750 each for studentswilling to work as mini-bus drivers forapproximately four hours a day, five days aweek. Applicants for these positions must bequalified drivers with a valid internationaldriving certificate.

3. AIFS can refer students to the Tuition PlanCompany of New Hampshire which canarrange deferred payment for studentswhose parents qualify and who wish to payfor the course over an extended period.

The plan does not cover the $25 applicationfee and the initial $300 tuition and roomdeposit, but students can borrow extra fundsfor transportation and spending money.

4. Veterans Benefits. Nearly all theUniversities and Colleges in which AIFSenrolls students are approved educationalinstitutions of higher learning under theVeteran's Readjustment Benefits Act of1966. Eligible veterans pursuing a programleading to the Associate of Pt:: andBatchelor of Arts degrees should apply to theVeterans Administration for their benefitsunder this Act:20

Aberdeenexpanded greatly in the earlier 19th century.when it became for a time Scotland's secondindustrial city: its principal thoroughfares andpublic buildings were established in thatperiod. It still retains many narrow cobbledstreets and older buildings as a reminder ofpast ages, and the campus is located (in OldAberdeen) in an area of this character.Heavy industry now plays little part in theeconomy of the region, which ispredominantly a rich agricultural area with amountainous hinterland. It is as the premierfishing-port of Scotland that Aberdeen is nowbest known, and the industries it has aremainly connected either with agriculture orwith the sea.24

In the Middle Ages, Aberdeen played its partin the wars to secure Scottish independencefrom England: both William Wallace andRobert Bruce fought engagements in the city.In the 16th and 17th centuries the townexpanded its trading links with Scandinaviaand the Baltic countries: and soldiers fromthe north-east were prominent as officers inthe armies of eastern European coottries.notably the Russia of Peter the Gr,at. In1715 in the first Jacobite rebellion. intendedto overthrow the Hanoverian monarchy inBritain. the Old PretenderJames Stewart.father of Bonnie Prince Charlielanded atPeterhead, near Aberdeen. In 1746 PrinceCharles Edward himself was defeated in theSecond Jacobite rebellion at Culloden Moor,again in the north-east region of the country.Indeed, Elgin. a small town to the north ofAberdeen, contains the only surviving copy ofthe proclamation of 1746 which offered thevery large sum of 00.000 for the capture ofthe princea reward which no one in theHighlands claimed.

Aberdeen is acknowledged as a notableholiday centre. It is well endowed with parks.cinemas. theaters and concert halls, withlibraries, an art gallery and extensive modernshopping facilities. From the seafrontnorthwards there stretch miles of goldenbeaches backed by sand dunes: to the southare ranges of high rocky cliffs, the nestinghome of myriad sea-birds.

Students in Aberdeen will enjoy visiting thenumerous and very varied historical sites inthe area: the archaeological remains ofancient settlements: castles of everydescription, dating from the early mediaevalperiod to the 17th century (some ruinous,others still occupied as comfortable houses):the planned vilages of the 18th and early19th centuries. The region contains a greatnumber of very attractive small towns: inlandcathedral cities such as Brechin and Elgin.picturesque small fishing towns such asStonehaven or Gardenstown: bustling fishingports like Peterhead and Fraserburgh:settlements in areas where whisky distillingis a vital industry such as Duft own andCraigellachie: ancient agricultural andcommercial centers such as Invarurie, Keithor Huntly: delightful holiday resorts such asForres and Nairn or Aboyne and Ballater.

There is a great variety too in the landscape.The central mass of the Scottish Highlands.the Grampians. extends close to the coast atAberdeen: deep into it penetrate the twovalleys of Donside and Deeside. famedfor their heather-clad hills, pine forests andtumbling clear streams. In upper or 'royal'Deeside lies Balmoral Castle. the Queen'sholiday home, and also Braemar. well-knownto Americans for its annual Highland Games.Beyond this rise tire Cairngorms. the largestarea of high mountain country in Britain.

University of AberdeenFounded in 1495. Aberdeen is one of the fourancient Scottish universities. It was foundedby William Elphinstone. Bishop of Aberdeen,under a Papal Bull granted by PopeAlexander VI. The University's first buildings,.those of the original King's College, werecompleted in 1505. King's College Chapelstill stands. with its beautiful original timberceiling.

After the Reformation some thought thatKing's College was unreasonably reactionary;and in 1593 George Keith, fifth EarlMarischal, obtained an Act of Parliament bywhich Marischal College was established inthe new town of Aberdeen as a whollyseparate university.

These two colleges survived as separateUniversities until 1860 when they werejoined by Act of Parliament. The Universityhas expanded rapidly and today has 6.000students: but it still retains a corporate spiritwhich will prove attractive to AIFSstudents. Its imposing buildings includeMarischal College, the second largest granitebuilding in the world.

The University awards first and higherdegrees that are recognized throughout theworld for their excellence. The main subjectsof study are the arts and social sciences. pureand applied sciences. medicine, agriculture,forestry, engineering. law and divinity.

Students from every part of the 8ritish Islesare attracted to Aberdeen University and asmall number of American undergraduatesare admitted each year. The University hasorganized very successful summer schoolsfor AIFS students over the past six years. Itwas as a result of this special relationshipthat the University agreed to accept the first15 full-time A.I.F.S. students for the1972/73 academic year.

The CourseAIFS students enrolled for the programwill take the same classes as Britishundergraduates They will participate in a fullprogram of seminars and tutorials inwhich they discuss with their lecturers the

LocationThe City University is situated just north ofthe City of London. the famous "square mile"which once enclosed the whole of Londonwithin its walls but which is now primarilythe financial and commercial district of ametropolis. Actually. part of the old city wallscan still be seen about a mile from theuniversity and the line of the City's north wallis still indicated by the street named LondonWall.

Since it is so centrally placed in greaterLondon The City University is inevitably notfar away from other centers of London lifebesides the "square mile" itselfBloomsbury, the traditional intellectualcenter and the site of the British Museum.the entertainment world of the West End.and Westminster the political center.

The immediate area of the university isknown as Clerkenwell in the borough ofIslington. a district with many literary andpolitical associations in the past. Milton livednearby and ran a school. Keats was born andgrew up in the vicinity. Shelley courted MaryGodwin there. And Tom Paine wrote theRights of Man at the Angel. Islington.

LocationLondon, the capital of the United Kingdomand the center of the Commonwealth ofNations, is one of the world's three largestcities. It is situated on the banks of the RiverThames and stretches north, south, east andwest over more houses, monuments, parks,docks and sights than one could explore in alifetime. London is a melange of old and new.Among the streets and buildings, manyplanned by her three great architects. Wren.Inigo Jones and Nash, are the modernbuildings of the twentieth century. This largeand fascinating city with its extensive rangeof interests offer the visitor priceless works ofart, outstanding music and entertainment,shopping and excursions into history. As thecenter of Administration, the court, the law,learning, fashion and pleasure, it occupies anunique position in the nation's life.

The history of London begins effectivelywhen the Roman settlement, Londinium,came into existence in A.D. 43. From then onit grew in prosperity and importance and bythe end of the Roman occupation many ofLondon's buildings were of stone and the citywas surrounded by a great stone wall. During

40

the Anglo-Saxon period London developedits resources and political consciousness. Thegrowth of Westminster with its palace andmonastery fixed the pattern for London'sfuture growth in the dual capacity of centerof commerce and seat of government.William the Conqueror was crowned atWestminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066and by 1180 when William Fitzstephenwrote a famous description of London. itcould boast of possessing 126 churches.imposing houses and of rapidly expandingbeyond the walls. A rich and exciting historycontributes greatly to its interest. ElizabethanLondon was a luxury alongside which muchpbverty and distress also existed. The "Westend" expanded and the royal residenceceased to be the Tower of London. By thereign of Charles II. London was the mostpopulous and one of the most prosperouscities in Europe. The Great Plague of 1665-66 was followed immediately by the worstfire in London's history. Barely one fifth of thecity was left standing. The new city, however.showed many improvements and Londonregained its prosperity. During the Georgianage many beautiful buildings and wellplanned parks were added. and are still somuch in evidence today. During the earlynineteenth century much was done tochange the face of London and by 1851when Queen Victoria opened the GreatExhibition, London typified the age. WorldWar I brought only a temporary pause in itsexpansion but World War II with the heavydamage through air raids. saw the greatestset-back in modern London's history. Manypublic buildings were damaged and manyareas were destroyed. Today. however, littleevidence of this remains. London neverceases to charm and captivate the visitor.

The freshly arrived stranger in London cannotdo better than remember W. E. Gladstone'smuch quoted advice to a group of Americantravellers, "The way to see London is fromthe top of a bus". This is certainly true if onewants to get a general idea of the layout ofthe city. The famous characteristic red busesare an excellent way to travel. Alternatively.the efficient "tube" (subway) can be usedand this extends far out into the suburbs ofLondon.

The Houses of Parliament, ParliamentSquare. Westminster Abbey, BuckinghamPalace, St. Paul's, The Tower, TrafalgarSquare and Piccadilly. are among the mostfamous sights in London, but there are manyothers of equal interest. even though theirfame is less widespread. The aim of thisLondon Academic Year program is to openthe less well-known but equally attractivefeatures of London including the Wrenchurches of the city, splendid houses such asKenwood and Chiswick and the Guildheadquarters of the Goldsmiths'.Fishmongers' and others.

The works number about 4,000sculptures. paintings and drawings,representing about 3,000 persons.

The British Museum comprises theNational Museum of Archaelogy andEthnography and the National Library. thelargest and richest library in the world. Themain collections in the museums are ofprints, drawings, manuscripts, coins andmedal ethnography, and Egyptian, WesternAsiatic, Oriental, Greek, Roman and Britishantiquities.

Art, Drama, Economics, Ecology,English, Film & Communication, FineArts, History, Music, Philosophy,Political Science, Psychology,Sociology, Theater.For teachers on sabbatical and graduates.

LOCATIONThe town of Windsor is famous for its castleand opposite the castle across the RiverThames is probably England's most famousacademic institution, next to Oxford andCambridge, the famous 'public' (fee-paying)school. Eton College. Although much of thetown has been modernized a few old housesremain, including houses which belonged toJane Seymour and lien Gwynn. The townhall was built in 1686 by Sir ChristopherWren who also had the distinction ofrepresenting the borough in Parliament. Thetown was formerly celebrated for the numberof its inns and still boasts several quainthostelries and delightful tea rooms. There isan excellent repertory theater in the town andmany cinemas.

The castle itself lies at the north-eastern edgeof the town and a microcosm of the politicalhistory of England centers around it. Fromthe battlements is the best view of EtonCollege and its famous playing fields. Withchanging social values the Etonian method of

70education with its emphasis on games and

manners is subject to much chticism, buteven being allowed to put a child's name onthe waiting list as soon as he is born does notnecessarily ensure a place in the school, sogreat is the demand for places.

A few miles from Windsor on the south bankof the River Thames, in the parish of Egham,is the celebrated meadow of Runnymedewhere King John signed the Magna Carta in1215. Here is erected a memorial to John F.<ennedy.

ST CATHARINE'SSt. Catharine's is housed in the Great Park at,Windsor. The center occupies a royalresidence and was granted to the Trustees ofSt. Catharine's by King George VI and QueenElizabeth as a Grace and Favour residence.

Eastervacation is a time when many students visit.Research students find the residenceespecially valuable when they are nearing thecompletion of a thesis and need both peaceand quiet to write and easy access to thelibraries or other research centers in London.

For many years. senior members ofUniversities, especially those from abroad.have greatly appreciated the opportunity ofstaying at St. Catharine's for a week, or amonth. or, sometimes, a longer period, toread or to write free from normal teachingand administrative duties but within easyreach of the library and other facilities andcultural life of London. These guests havegreatly enriched the intellectual life of St.Catharine's, whilst they themselves havewelcomed the opportunities for meeting bothsenior and junior members of otheruniversities from a wide range of disciplines.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION

It is expected that most AI FS students atGrenoble will concentrate their efforts onlearning how to speak, read and write Frenchfluently and studying French literature andcivilization. However, in addition to theregular French language and civilizationcourses organized by the Comite dePatronage. AIFS students may take specialcourses organized for them in the History ofArt, English Literature and Creative Writingand Modern French History. These specialcourses are given in English and/orelementary French.Also in order to provide junior year abroadstudents with enough equivalent credit unitsin French literature, AIFS organizes, in co-operation with the university, specialadvanced courses to complement theuniversity's courses. Thus, students in Frenchliterature can expect to receive the equivalent(if not more) units of credit at Grenoble asthey would do at their American University.

The regular French Language and literaturecourses are organized at three levels, each ofwhich has a corresponding examinationgiven at the end of each semester. The threelevels are:

FIRST DEGREE: This course is forstudents who have only two or three yearsprevious study in the French language.

SECOND DEGREE: This level is roughlyequivalent to third year college Frenchcourses at American colleges.

THIRD DEGREE: (Open to Juniors andSeniors only) This level takes some of thesame language courses given at thesecond degree level but includes moreadvanced courses in literature and Frenchcivilization. The progam is equivalent to afinal year French majors course at anAmerican University.

Students wishing to take courses at thesecond and third degree levels must pass thefirst degree examination first. This test isgiven upon arrival in Grenoble. Similarly,

76

students passing the second degreeexamination at the end of the first semestermay transfer to the third degree courses forthe second semester. providing they haveconcurrently, during the first semesterfollowed the third degree courses.

LOCATION

"If you are lucky enough to live in Paris as ayoung man, then wherever you go for the restof your life. it stays with you, for Paris is amovable feast."Ernest HemingwayEpigraph to A Movable Feast. 1964.

The American in Paris. in fact and fiction, isover two hundred years old. Franklin. theforerunner, gave Pads its first lightningcondtictor. Jefferson, who lacked empathy,left it in a huff ("only vice and modernlanguages are better taught there than athome"). Tom Paine enthused to it about therights of man. Rumford invented aneconomic soup for its poor. Henry Jamescame and went (his mere passage a tribute).And, above all, thousands of studentsunknown to history flocked into the LatinQuarter around the Sorbonne to studyliterature, music and art in what seemed tobe their natural home.

Hemingway was there in the thirties, whenthe presence of John Dos Passos, E. E.Cummings. Scott Fitzgerald, Stephen VincentBenet, Archibald Macleish, Louis Bromfieldand many more besides made Paris averitable home for expatriate genius.

80

The best of Paris is to be had for free, bywalking and looking. All its roofs. domes.spires and towers threaded by the Seinemake a splendid perspective from the terraceof the Saud Coeur at Montmartre. By night.Place de la Concorde. with its gleaminglamps. viewed from the Bridge with thefloodlit Marine Ministry and the Madeleine inthe background, is one of the most entrancingsights in the world. The Louvre, with itsincomparable art treasures. Notre Dame. theMarais. the Champs Elysites. the LuxembourgGardens - all this, and more. Paris gives forthe asking.

Not everything in Paris is free, of course,though much is still comparatively cheap.Music there is both cheaper and much betterthan it was. thanks to heavy subsidies fromthe world of politics: concerts are frequent(four permanent orchestras and many ad hocgroups) and interesting (music of themediaeval and baroque periods is in vogue).Theater (about fifty venues, from thesacrosanct Comedie Francaise to the tinyTheatre de la Huchette), also in the doldrumsin recent years. is showing signs of a revivaland is looking for its Albee or Pinter.Production here is in advance of authorship:however. Anouilh, Giraudoux, Montherlantand similar great figures from the Frenchstage of yesterday are frequently played, andstudents get cheap rates. Cinema is one ofParis's strong points: the Latin Quarter is fullof cinemas d'art with barely a hundred seatsin which films froni all over the ,world areshown at very low prices, while theCinematheque Francaise specializes in five orsix showings daily fin each of two cinemas)of great films from the past. Young art inParis, by a flawless sequence of logic basedon false premises, has got mixed up withpolitics, but is nonetheless interesting though'ather Americun. Its proponents are vocal.Inward from this fringe, however. art is asvigorous and challenging in Paris as it hasever been, and is of course catered for byinnumeraole galleries and exhibitions, mostof which are virtually or actually free.

Finally, food and wino are still as great (andas expensive) in Paris as they ever were -and the amateur sociologist will find much tointerest him in myriad discotheques, whileeven the bookworm may enjoy blinking at thedawn for once in a while over croissants andcoffee at Saint-German-des-Pres.

So mi. ch for the menu. Intending gourmetsshould note, however, that Paris, feast offeasts is also the city of congested arteries(incredible Boulevard Saint Michell) and bile(Rameau in Diderot's piece is the archetypeof the bilious Parisian). Paris is no provincialSunday picnic, but one of the grandestoccasions in the western world: coping withit requires savoir faire.

UNIVERSITY OF PARIS

Until the reforms stemming from the "studentrevolution" of May 1968. the University ofParis (founded by Papal Bull in 1215) was asingle institution attended by over 100.000students It has now been divided into morethan a dozen independent parts. each ofwhich is a university in its own right. AIFSstudents attend the most illustrious of these"new" universities. the one at the Sorbonne.This "new" University is, paradoxicallyenough, one of the oldest academicinstitutions in the world. Founded by Robertde Sorbon in 1253 as a college for sixteenpoor students, it has occupied the same siteon the Montagne Sainte-Genevieve in theheart of Paris for over seven hundred years.

AIFS students will study courses organizedby the Departement d'EtLdes de CivilisationFrancaise. This department of the Sorbonneis directed by Professor Georges Ma.,,re andMadame Madeleine Eristov. Its specialcourses for foreign students were first offeredin 1919. Since that time, over 100.000students from nearly 100 nations haveenrolled in its courses.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Admission to all courses in Paris is restrictedto students of junior year and above whohave taken at least two years of collegeFrench or who can otherwise show proof of asatisfactory degree of fluency in the Frenchlanguage.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The Institute believes that a properorientation program is vital to insure thesuccess of even the most carefully preparedforeign study course. Paris students will.therefore, spend approximately four weeks inVichy before the start of the course.

Vichy, Queen of European spas, is situated inthe very heart of France. As a friendly marketand resort town of approximately 30.000people, it is an ideal place to learn aboutFrench life and customs and to make one'sfirst contacts with the French people. Aresort of international repute. Vichy's uniquefacilities include a lake for swimming, sailingand water-skiing, the opera, ballet, concertsand theater, the famous thermal baths, ridingstables and horse shows.

The orientation program will be conducted bythe Centre Audio - Visual de LanguesModemes (CAVILAM). This fine languageInstitute was established in 1964 by theneighboring University of Clermont- Ferrandunder whose supervision the classes areconducted. The school gives French languageinstruction throughout the year to foreignstudents.

Nearly 15,000 students from 50 differentcountries (among them a substantial numberof foreign government scholarship holders)have studied at CAVILAM during the past tenyears.

Students will study the French languageusing the new "France en Directe" method. Inorder to ensure rapid progress and goodpreparation for the courses at Paris, studentswill attend an intensive course consisting offive hours daily instruction in French.Students study in small groups of no morethan 15 per class. In addition to the aboveclasses, lecture courses in English will begiven on life at a French university and otheruseful advice.

Students will stay in Vichy at the newstudent residence situated close to theSporting Club. Students stay in single ordouble rooms. Each room is equipped with itsown shower and washing facilities. Inaddition, students will be given membershipin the adjoining Maison des Jeunes whichhas every club facility.

N.B. The period of orientation in Vichy is notavailable to an pair students, since they arerequired to take up residence with theirfamilies in Paris immediately upon arrival inFrance. They therefore attend instead aspecial orientation program conducted by theSorbonne.

ACCOMMODATION IN PARIS

Experience has shown that, for olderstudents, one of the best ways of getting toknow the French people and their mode oflife is to stay with a French family rather thanin a student dormitory. The drawbacks ofdormitory life are self-evident: living with aFrench family, by contrast, the student enjoysmore freedom (he usually has his own key.and within reason, comes and goes as hepleases), more comfort (private homescontrast sharply with the sometimes spartanfoyers d'irtudiants), more privacy for studyand yet more contact with the people andtheir language. Moreover, many Paris studentresidences suffer from budget difficultieswhich often result in poorly maintainedfacilities.

AIFS has been fortunate in securing optionson some of the best family accommodationin Paris. All the homes are situated ininteresting parts of the city and give easyaccess to the university. The families areselected by the AIFS resident director, whoalso gives individual attention to the needs ofeach student. In most cases it is possible toplace two students, sharing a large studybedroom, with the same family. Otherstudents have single rooms and are normallythe family's only foreign guest throughouttheir stay.

gs81

Page 79: TITLE Academic Year in Europe and Africa, 1973-74 ... · Exchange Programs; *Study Abroad. ABSTRACT. The American Institute for Foreign Study, Inc. (AIFS) is a nationwide organization

Examples of the type of family selected forAIFS students are as follows:Mme. M.. who lives in a large elegantapartment on the Place de l'Etoile with adirect view of the Arc de Triomphe, regularlytakes two American students. These studentsshare a large study bedroom and have freeuse of the lounge and kitchen.

M. et Mme. L.. who are young teachers, livein a small but attractive apartment (their firsthome) in the Neuilly area. They receive onestudent who is treated like a member of thefamily but enjoys her own private room.

AU PAIR FAMILIES

Families in Paris have long been accustomedto welcoming foreign students into theirhomes as "au pair guests-. The stricttranslation of this term is "an exchange ofwork for accommodation between socialequals". Au pair students typically work up totwo hours per day (with Sundays free) insuch activities as baby sitting, taking thechildren to school and light household choresin return for a private room. Students are freeto come and go as they wish. They eat theirlunch and dinner with other AIFS students inthe university restaurants. Au pair studentsare normally given a week's holiday for travelat Christmas and Easter.

Some of the families with whom studentslive as au pairs in France may reside in turn-of-the-century buildings. It is in this kind ofbuilding that an au pair's room is located onthe top or seventh floor separated from themain part of the apartment. Typically theserooms are quite small but have their ownwash basins. Students of course may use thekitchen, washing machine and bathroom inthe main apartment. The advantage of thisarrangement is that students can come andgo as they wish since they usually have theirown key.

Large numbers of foreign students havefound the opportunity of living as an au pairin Paris challenging but also exciting andrewarding: the consensus seems to be that.approached openmindedly and withgenerosity, the arrangement can affordunique insights into a different culture. It isfor this reason that AIFS recommends th:sscheme for students applying for the Parisprogram. Moreover, since AIFS does nothave to pay for accommodation, studentselecting to take au pair assignments havetheir fees reduced by $750 per year.Considering the light nature of the duties of atypical au pair, the arrangement is certainly afinancial bargain.

Students wishing to live au pair must beavailable to move into their families bySeptember 15. Therefore, these studentshave a special three week orientation session

82

in Paris, rather than Vichy, before the regularSorbonne course starts on October 8. Theorientation programs consist of guidance andcounseling on life in a French home. andintensive French language instruction givenby Sorbonne tutors.

An example of the type of au pair family usedby AIFS students is as follows:M. et Mme. L-B. live in the 16tharrondissement in a large comfortableapartment. M. L- B. is a well known Sorbonneprofessor: Mme. L-B. is in the French CivilService. They have three children aged 18.16. and 11. The au pair guest has a privateroom on the seventh floor, separated fromthe n.ain apartment. Her duties are to be acompanion for the 11 year old daughter on.wo afternoon. per week. Also. when the restof the family is out late. she is asked to sleepdownstairs in the spare room for which shereceives pocket money

PRIVATE ACCOMMODATIONARRANGEMENTS

By arrangement with the Dean ofAdmissions, before departure from theU.S.A.. students preferring to make their ownliving arrangements in Paris may do so. Theirfees are reduced by 5650 !the reduction is5100 less than for au pair students sincethey are required to take the VichyOrientation Program). It should be realized.however. that accommodation in Paris lallaccommodation must be approved by theAIFS resident director) is extremely hard toget and is often prohibitively expensive.

MEALS

All students take breakfast at home. Othermeals are taken in student restaurants closeto the Sorbonne. Meal tickets are issued andare accepted in all the student restaurants ofParis. From the list they are given, studentssoon discover by trial and error whichrestaurant suits them best. In general. themenus are balanced and varied, and themulti-national crowd of students frequentingMabillon or Mazet, to name just two of theUniversity restaurants in the Latin Quarter, isinvariably as colorful as it is highspirited.

TRANSPORTATION

Most students choose to take the subway toand from the Sorbonne. The Paris metro isone of the most efficient and convenientsubway systems in the world. It is also one ofthe cheapest; the fare is the same whateverthe actual distance of the ride. A ticket for 10trips costs approximately $1.50 or 15c. perjourney. The metro has fifteen lines thatinterconnect into a dense yet easy-to-follownetwork covering the whole of the city. Trainsrun every five minutes or so virtually roundthe clock, the pause being between 1 a.m.

and 5 a.m. The bus network is also veryextensive. but tends to be more expensive.Students are responsible for theirtransportation costs while in Paris and shouldbudget accordingly: in most cases $3 perweek should, prove to be ample.

B OOKS AND LIBRARIES

The time has no doubt gone forever when ascholar browsing through the stall of abouquiniste on the banks of the Seine coulddiscover a Diderot holograph in a pile of oldjunk. Yet Paris is still the place to buy books.and most students acquire a substantiallibrary for themselves.

Large libraries granting unrestricted accessare relatively rare in France. even in Paris.Undergraduate students generally combineuse of the BibliothAque Sainte-Genevieve (agood but crowded university library) with anumber of specialized collections, allexcellent in their own field. AIFS studentswill be guided towards the libraries bestsuited to their particular needs. Library fees,where required, are paid by AIFS, at no extracost of the student.

Among the libraries in Paris are the following:B Ibliotheque Maurine The library of theInstitute of France founded by CardinalMazarin.B ibliotheque Ste. Genevieve Auniversity library comprising special politicalscience collections.Bibliotheque de la Sorbonne A libraryspecializing in literature and the humanities,together with theology.B ibliothOque des Cours de CivilisationFor ever,day purposes.

Salzburg

LocationThe ancient city of Salzburg situated in thefoothills of the Austrian Alps has for centuriesbeen one of the major cultural centers ofEurope. In late antiquity some of the firstGermanic Christians settled here, usingmountain caves as catacombs that can bevisited in today's town center: ever since theearly Middle Ages Salzburg has been the seatof an Archbishop whose title is "PrimasGermaniae." The exceptional beauty of thecity owes a great debt to the architecturaljudgement of generations of Salzburgarchbishops who gave the city its superbcollection of baroque buildings. Painting andmusic have been of enormous significance inthe history of Salzburg and WolfgangAmadeus Mozart is certainly the city'sforemost son. For the last 50 years Salzburghas .been host to an International SummerFestival that has brought together the finest

90orchestras and concert artists in the world; it

was at Salzburg that the modern concept of afestival, with the city as stage, was conceivedby a group of Austrian artists and authors. Asecond festival, this time at Easter, has beendeveloped by the great Austrian conductor.Herbert von Karajan. and there are festivemusical events around Mozart's birthday(27th January) and in May/June.

Austria is famous for its opera houses andthe Salzburg Opera House stagesmagnificent productions throughout the year.The winter season of plays is also ofexceptional interest.

The present day city has 110.000 inhabitantsand still retains its architectural elegance. In1798 Alexandci von Humboldt. the famousnaturalist and explorer, described the view ofSalzburg as the most beautiful in the world.on a par with that of Naples and Istanbul: it isthe supreme good fortune of the city that thepassing centuries have seen preservationrather than neglect and decay. The university,museums, galleries, theaters, opera housesand concert halls of Salzburg provide astimulating intellectual environment and thewonderful buildings of the Altstadt-"OldQuarter" of the city-are a delight to explore.Here Mozart was born in a house dating from1400: other Mozart monuments include hisdwelling *ouse, a statue by Schwanthaler,and the garden chalet in which he composedthe "Magic Flute". These buildings are nowworld renowned and widely visitedmuseums, still alive with the master's music:chamber concerts are performed in the veryrooms where Mozart and his family played totheir Salzburg friends.

The Austrian Alps rise from the outskirts ofSalzburg and excellent, inexpensive wintersports facilities are available. within half anhour's drive of the city. The skiing in Austriais suitable for all levels of accomplishment:first-rate instruction is available everywhere,and beginners can usually ski confidentlyafter an eight-day course. In the otherseasons of the year Salzburg is well situatedfor high altitude mountaineering and walking.The many lakes such as Mondsee andMattsee present opportunities for boatingand sailing. Spectacular passes lead acrossthe Alps into Italy and cross some of Europe'swildest and most memorable scenery enroute.

The cathedral at Salzburg is a gloriousbuilding of early baroque design created bythe Italian architect. Solari. Among otherdistinguished architects who worked inSalzburg was Johann Bernhard Fischer vonErlach, who designed many of the laterbaroque churches which make so distinctivea contribution to the architecture of the city.High above Altstsdt towers SalzburgCastle-a fortress of monumental size. Thecastle Is now the center of the famousKokoshka Art Summer School.

t.

Centrally situated in Europe. Salzburg offersease of access to many parts of the continentand is especially well placed for excursions toVienna, the wonderful baroque capital ofAustria, Prague, Budapest, Munich andBavaria as Herrenchiemsee andNeuschwanstein. The high Austrian Tyrol,centred on Innsbruck, is some two hoursdrive away.

Contact with the Austrian Population

"She's my best friend at SalzburgI can talkto her about everything ..." An AYE studentabout her Austrian host. As a result of specialarrangements made by AIFS in Salzburg.most students will be housed with carefullyselected private families. A student'srelationship with his or her Austrian familymay be very cordial and close, and provides afocal point for the joys and experiences ofliving in a different environment.

Other AIFS students stay in a private studentresidence with Austrian and other Germanspeaking students. Called the HausWartenberg, this residence, which wasoriginally a 17th century farm house, wasconverted by Baroness Wachter, and is ofsufficient cultural and architectural Interest toappear in the latest edition of Fodor's GuideTo Austria. It is very well appointed, withmarble floors, many pieces of antiquefurniture in the old Salzburg style, and with acommon room and a study room for the useof students. The house stands in Its owngrounds in a residential area some 15minutes walk from the old town, or threeminutes on the trolley bus. Because most ofthese facilities are used jointly with Austrianstudents, contact is easy and the manageressof the residence has many year's experiencein looking after an international community.

Meals will be taken in "Menses", studentrefectories, and in city restaurants frequentedby university students. Salzburg has a highreputation for the quality of its cuisine.

To ensure maximum contact with theAustrian community, students will beintroduced to Salzburg clubs and societies,including several student clubs with theirlibraries, lounges and cafes: here students ofseveral nationalities meet for extracurricularactivities, or just to chat and exchange theirexperiences. Austrian folk dancing, folkmusic, student concerts and Austrian cookingform part of the clubs' programs, and thereare excellent sports facilities.

All in all, AYE students at Salzburg are placedin much the same living conditions as theirEuropean counterpartsthe best basis, in theexperience of former participants, for realfellowship and social links.

The University of Salzburg

Founded in 1622, the university achievedgreat significance in the eighteenth century:at the height of its prestige. with the thenvery large student population of 1300. itspecialized in canonical law, philosophy, andin gigantic baroque theatricals (up to 250student actors per performance). LeopoldMozart. the composer's father, was for a timea student of logic here. Following a period ofdecline and dormancy. the university was re-established after World War II and is now in aperiod of growth and consolidation.

The present university is a modern, forward-looking institution whose policies representAustria's position as a neutral country, withan emphasis on international relations bothpractical and academic. On the academicside the university has a number ofdistinguished visiting professors, many fromBritain and the United States. who lecture inEnglish; their lectures and seminars areamong the most popular with Austrians andstudents from overseas alike. There is also adepartment of international relations. withspecialists in eastern and western politicalscience.

Another distinction of the university lies in itsFaculty of Arts and Philosophy which attractsstudents from all over the world. Aninteresting feature of the approach to study isthat undergraduates can read subjects in anumber of faculties at the same time. This isa new departure for a university in theGerman speaking world, and has attracted avery wide degree of interest. The universityhas outgrown its original home in the historicArchbishop's Palace and has expanded intobuildings throughout the city.

In 1953 the Salzburg Mozarteum. one of thepremier music conservatories of Europe, waselevated to university status and is now thesecond institution of higher education in thecity. On a practical level Salzburg is one ofthe few universities in Europe to have adepartment of tourism. After a very smallbeginning in 1945 the number of overnightstays in Austria is now 90 million per year. orover 12 times the number of the population:this enormous growth rate is proof of thesuccessful teaching of tourism. and theSalzburg University course in tourism is animportant asset for students training tobecome hostesses, stewardesses, or to joininternational organizations.

The number of the university's pupils who arenow world famous is too tarp to mention:they include Wolfgang and Herbert vonKarajan, Hanno Steffek (State OperaMunich), Alan Mendel. Wolfgang Rennert(the conductor), Otmar Suitner (ArtisticDirector of the Berlin Opera). Grace Bumbry(Metropolitan Opera, New York), and many

University ofSalamancaSpanish Language and Civilization.For College Freshmen. Sophomores andJuniors with orientation at the University ofSeville

Location"Salamanca is. perhaps, the most perfecttown in Spain. It has no particularly famouswork of art. It is itself a work of art of everyfruitful period a town of mellow, goldenstone standing by the riverside, among corkoaks: it has two cathedrals, storks' nests onevery pinnacle, exquisite little private places

a place to loiter in. discovering new gracesat the turn of every street." Evelyn Waugh.Venture. February. 1965.

Situated in the northwest of Spain. aboutthree hours from Madrid, Salamanca is in themiddle of Spain's bull raising country. Farfrom the crowded tourist centers, Salamancaretains its enchanting medieval character.The contrast of the beauty of this ancient citywith the ugliness of a typical modernindustrial city is overwhelming. Located on ahigh plateau three thousand feet above sealevel. Salamanca's climate ranges from verywarm and sunny to quite cool.

Excavations shc that Salamanca's longhistory dates Iv: m the fourth century B.C.100

The city has been occupied by theCarthaginians, the Romans, the Vandals, theMoors and the Castilians. Among the famousresidents of the city in the past wereHannibal. El Cid, Columbus. Fray Luis deLeon. Cervantes, Wellington and Unamuno.Today this beautiful city has nearly onehundred thousand inhabitants. Capital of theprovince of Salamanca, it is a busy markettown and administrative center. Salamancaalso has a rich cultural life including theater,festivals and several cinemas.

The beautiful buildings of the city defydescription. Morton enthusiasticallydescribes the city's architecture in his ''AStranger in Spain" as follows: "This beautifulgolden city is one of the gloritis of Spain. I amnot sure that it Is not the finest of its glories.Hero the stranger thinks again for thehundredth time that the Spaniards were thegreatest architects and builders since theRomans. There is not a building inSalamanca that is not worth looking at."

Among the buildings of particular interest arethose around the lovely Piazza Mayor, whereSalamantines stroll and chat, two ancientcathedrals. the Casa de las Conchas and theUniversity itself

The UniversityFounded in 121E1 the University ofSalamanca is the oldest university in Spain.The status of the university is so great thatthe history of Salamanca itself is inevitablytied up in its story. The prestige of theuniversity reached its peak in the 16thcentury, when Pope Alexander IV declaredthe university to be one of the principal seatsof learning in Christendom. ranking withParis. Oxford and Bologna. ChristopherColumbus studied at the university beforer'mbarking on his famous voyage andafterwards returned to lecture on hisexperiences.

Today, the university has Col.ages of Law.Liberal Arts, Science and Medici.e and has astudent population of some 7.000 studentsfrom all over the world.

AIFS students may attentiregular facultycourses offered by the university or enroll inspecial courses organized by the universityfor AIFS students.

Contact with Spanish StudentsStudents will stay with private families inSalamanca, thus making possible regular andinvaluable contacts with the local Spanishpopulation. These families and their homeshave been carefully chosen by the residentAIFS dean. Salamantines are traditionallyhospitable and Wendt:: to foreign studentsand AIFS students whit, have studied here inthe past have been veil/ warmly welcomedby its citizens.

Thereis a university cinema and numerous cinemasin the town showing the latest filmperfolunances.

Further friendships with Spanish studentscan be made when using the excellent sportsfacilities at the new sports center. A heatedswimming pool is also available.

Orientation Program

The Institute believes that a properorientation program is vital to ensure thesuccess of even the most carefully preparedforeign study course. Salamanca studentswill. therefore, spend approximately fourweeks before the start of the course on anorientation program specially organized bythe University of Seville.

Seville is tho capital of Andalusia. an excitingcity of unique architectural interest where. inspite of the apparent bustle of her streets lifegoes on at a refreshingly slow pace. It is anadmirable excursion center. Cordoba.Granada and Cadiz are all easily accessibleand the Portuguese frontier is only 100 milesaway.

The university was founded at the end of the15th century. The course will consist ofintensive Spanish language classes includingconversetion, grammar, translation from andinto Span:sh, dictation and comprehensionexercises. Students will be graded accordingto ability. There will be additional classes of ageneral cultural nature. Accommodation willbe provided in Spanish families.

This is a particularly good course andstudents will thus be well-equipped to begintheir studies in Salamanca.

Additional excursions are arranged hemSalamanca for Al FS students throughout theyear and many locations of artistic andhistoric interest are visited. Since such visitsare part of the cultural enrichment programuniversity professors accompany students.One 1,isit is to the 16th century town ofAlberca. Recently declared a nationalmonument, nothing has been added to thearchitecture sirtze the 16th century and itremain- in a remarkable state ofpreservation. Another excursion traces thebirth, life and government of Queen Isabella Iof Spain. The monastery where she was bornand several of her castles are visited.

Italian Universityfor ForeignersAND PIETRO VANNUCCI ARTACADEMY, PERUGIA,' ITALYFine Arty:, liberal Arts and ItalianLanguage, for Freshmen, Sophomoresand Juniors

"I found the Italians to be one of the mostgenerous and hospitable people in all ofEurope. Their attitude towards Americanstudents inspires one to study their languageperhaps even more dilligently than previouslyplanned. One desires the knowledge to beable to communicate with such wonderfulpeople.

One can walk the ancient streets of Perugiaand feel just like one of its residents andbecome involved in the city's history.

Italy and the Italians have been so generousas to give me a terrific impression of a culturedescended from Rome. I'm going to make itmy business to return to Italy soon andbecome more involved in the country, peopleand the culture in general.

Time stands still here in Perugia, but everymoment is a living experience that blossomstremendously."

LocationSituated on a group of hills overlooking theTiber Valley, the enchanting city of Perugia is108

a del:Rht to the eye. Being principally auniversity town. its beautiful streets andbuildings are free of the thousands of touristswho crowd Florence and Rome. However, itis within a few hours of both these cities aswell as many other famous centers of Italianculture. In addition to the beauty of itslocation. Perugia has a pleasant climate. It issituated one thousand five hundred feetabove sea level.

The history of Perugia dates back to the timeof the Etruscans, who civilized the area longbefore the Romans. The Etruscan civilizationdid much to influence the formation of theRomans, especially in the areas ofarchitecture and sculpture. Among theEtruscan remains in Perugia is a beautifularch bearing the inscription "AugustPerugia", dating from the rebuilding of thecity after its sack in 40 B.C. by the Romanlegionaries under Octavian. the nephew ofJulius Caesar.

Close to Perugia is Lake Trasimeno. scene ofthe famous battle between Hannibal and theRomans. Also within easy reach are Assisi,cradle of the Franciscan order: Gubbio. withits rich store of Roman and medievalarchitecture: Spoleto, home of the Festival ofTwo Worlds: and Todi, with its threeencircling walls.

Among the beautiful buildings of Perugia arethe 13th century cathedral and palace, bothof which contain works by the 15th centurypainter Pietro Vannucci, who lived in Perugiaand was nicknamed Perugino. The narrowstreets of the upper city retain much of theirmedieval character and charm.

Perugia today has a population of over onehundred thousand people. A busy markettown. its famous products include chocolate(the well known "bad") and Luisa Spagnoli'sangora sweaters. The town has numerouscinemas and theaters and many fine stores.

History of the University

The Italian University for Foreigners, Perugia.is famous throughout the world as a center oflearning. Nearly seventy-five thousandstudents from 140 different nations haveattended the university since it was foundedin 1921. The purpose of the university is "...to spread abroad the knowledge of Italy in allits manifestations, past and present,including language, literature, the fine arts(painting, sculpture, and architecture), music,history, customs and thought."

The university is housed in the beautifulPalazzo Gal lenge, which dates from theRenaissance. period. Its facilities include alibrary with 40,000 volumes in Italian,French and German and a student clubwhere dances and concerts take place.

The Pietro Vannucci Art Academy wasfounded in 1546 and was named after thePerugia painter of the same name. Itoccupies a splendid Renaissance building.equipped with every studio facility.

In addition to the University for Foreignersand the Pietro Vannucci Art Academy.Perugia is the home of a State Uni%, r iffy forItalian students. The history of this universitygoes back to the 13th century. Over 10.000Italian students attend the university's 12faculties (Letters and Philosophy; ModernLanguages and Literature. Education. LamEconomic and Commercial Sciences. PoliticalScience. Mathematics and Natural Sciences.Engineering. Medicine. Pharmacy. VeterinaryScience and Agriculture.) AIFS studentstherefore encounter Italian students in everyaspect of their daily lives in Perugia: in theirfamilies, sports, clubs, and extracurricularactivities. Students with a good knowledge ofItalian may also arrange to audit courses atany of the faculties of the State University.

HousingThe students stay with Italian families or insmall family style pensiones where they willenjoy the company of groups of Italianuniversity students who also live in thesepensiones. These accommodationarrangements have proved most satisfactoryto AIFS students in recent years and manywarm friendships have been made with thepeople of Perugia.Arrangements can be made for girls to behoused in a university residence if they wish.The residence is run by a religious order butthere is no interference in any way with thepersonal beliefs of students.

Extra-curricular Activities:Although neither the University forForeigners not the State University ofPerugia sponsor the type of extra-curricularprogram that students find at an AmericanUniversity. AIFS students in Perugia arewelcome to join and participate in anyactivity (sports, cultural, artistic) organized bythe students of either university.

The city of Perugia is well equipped withpossibilities for sports and recreation.Students may become members of the localTennis Club (two covered courts for wintertennis): Indoor Swimming Pool (one of themost modern in Europe); Judo Club: FencingClub: Basketball and Volleyball Clubs (alllocated in a new gymnasium finished in1972): Ski and Mountain Club (there is aplastic practice slope in the outskirts ofPerugio). In the winter weekly ski trips aretaken by the Ski Club to nearby snow resortsand the charge for participation is minimum.(Students may rent equipment).

Interested and talented students mayaudition to jo.n a local folk chorus which

is very famous and travels around Italy duringthe winter giving concerts in major cities.

Perugia has excellent concerts and musicperformances. Students may attend concerts(at least one a week) at reduced prices (lessthan a dollar). Such great artists asRubenstein. Serkin. I Musici, Gazzeloni, etc.come regularly to Perugia for concerts.

Contact with the ItalianPopulation:

One of the unique aspects of the AIFS Perugiaprogram le that the students are fullyintegrated into the life of the Peruginians. Byliving in the family-pensions studentsbecome part of every day life in Perugia andthey also share their daily experiences withtheir Italian counterparts (University studentswho also live in the same homes). In all oftheir extra-curricular activities AIFS studentsmeet both Italian University students andother members of the local population. Inaddition, at the University for ForeignersAIFS students share classes and classroomswith students from about 100 differentcountries.

The originalobjectives of the program were twofold: first.the substantial study at college level of thevarious aspects of Classical Greek Civilizationincluding literature, art. history, philosophyand archaeology, and second, the experienceof living in a modern state whose vitalpresent is enriched by a uniquely varied past.

Now in its eleventh year of operation, itsobjectives remain the same.

Spring Term at theUniversity of Salzburg

The ancient city of Salzburg, situated in thefoothills of the Austrian Alps, has forcenturies been one of the major culturalcenters of Europe. The exceptional beauty ofthe city owes a great debt to the architecturaljudgment of generations of Salzburgarchbishops who gave the city its collectionof baroque buildings.

The present day city has 110,000 inhabitantsand still retains its architectural elegance.Wilhelm von Humboldt, the 18th centurynaturalist and explorer, described the view ofSalzburg from the surrounding hills as themost beautiful in the world and it is thesupreme good fortune of the city that thepassing centuries have seen preservationrather than neglect and decay. The university,museums, galleries, theaters, opera housesand concert halls of Salzburg provide astimulating intellectual environment. Thewonderful buildings of the Altstadt "OldQuarter" of the city are a delight to explore.Foremost among tht buildings of the Altstadtis Mozart's birthplace which is now a worldrenowned and widely visited museum ofMozart's life, career and times. Within easyreach of the city are such places of interest asthe Grossglockner Pass through the Al :is, theSalzkammergut lakes and Munich.

Today, the main distinction of the universitylies in its Faculty of Arts and Philosophywhich attracts students from all over theworld. An interesting feature of the approachto study is that undergraduates can readsubjects in a number of faculties at a time.This is a now departure for a university in theGerman speaking world, and has attracted awide degree of interest. The university hasoutgrown its original home in the historicArchbishop's Palace and has expanded intobuildings throughout the city.

In 1953 thu Salzburg Mozarteum, one of thepremier music conservatories of Europe, waselevated to university status and is now thesecond institution of higher education in thecity. The Mozarteum provides a majorcultural stimulus to the Salzburg scenethroughout the year through concerts and134

recitals given by its processors and students.The excellence of the teaching in theMozarteum is such that the conservatoireattracts the very best music students from allover Europe and overseas.

;Spring Term at the'Universityof Salamanca"Salamanca is, perhaps the most perfecttown in Spain. it has no particularly famouswork of art. It is itself a work of art of everyfruitful perioda town of mellow, goldenstone standing by the riverside, among corkoaks; it has two cathedrals, storks' nests onevery pinnacle, exquisite little privateplacesa place to loiter in, discovering newgracus st the turn of every street."

Evelyn WaughVenture, February, 1965.

LocationSituated in the northwest of Spain, aboutthree hours from Madrid, Salamanca is in themiddle of Spain's bull raising country. Farfrom the crowded tourist centers, Salamancaretains its encharitlng mediaeval character.The contrast of the !not ty of this ancient citywith the ugliness of a eipical modernindustrial city is overwhelming. Located on ahigh plateau three thousand feet above sealevel, Salamanca's climate ranges from verywarm and sunny to quite cool.The beautiful buildings of the city defydescription. Morton enthusiasticallydescribes the nity's arci-;.tecture in his "AStranger in Spain" as follows: "This beautifulgolden city is one of the glories of Spain. I amnot sure that it is not the finest of its glories.Here the strancr thinks again for thehundredth time that Spaniards were thegreatest architects end builders since theRomans. There is not a building of any age inSalamanca that is not worth looking at."Among the buildings of particular interest arethose around the lovely Plaza Mayor, whereSalamantines stroll and talk, two ancientcathedrals, the Casa de las Conches and theuniversity itself.The UniversityFounded in 1218, the University ofSalamanca is the oldest university in Spain.The stattA of the university is so great thatthe history of Salamanca itself is inevitablytied up in its story. The prestige of theuniversity reached its peak in the 16thcentury. when Pope Alexander IV declaredthe university to be one of the principal seatsof learning in Christendom, ranking withParis. Oxford and Bologna. ChristopherColumbus studied at the university beforeembarking on his famous voyage andafterwards returned to lecture and discuss hisexperiences.

Orientation Programsand Summer StudyORIENTATION PROGRAMS FORAMERICAN JUNIOR YEAR ABROADSTUDENTS

AUSTRIA, BRITAIN, FRANCE,GERMANY, GREECE, HONG KONG,ITALY, JAPAN, KENYA, SPAIN, USSR

Many American universities arrange theirown Junior Year Abroad courses in Eurore.Students in these programs are normallyenrolled In the regular classes of Europeanuniversities. The typical program starts inOctober which is the normal start of theacademic year abroad.

These colleges and universities have found itunsatisfac tory to introduce their studentsdirectly into a European University withoutfirst providing the student with a well -planned, effective and intensive orientationcourse. This can often best be done byinstitutions that provide such cfcurses on aregular basis. Such introductory programsinclude lectures; visits; tutorials; soreinarsand written work on the traditiuns, habits,manners, social life, history, politicalstructures and languages of the eounuiesconcerned.

The American Institute for Foreign Study hasfor ten years been offering short languageand orientation courses.

The University's AIFS SponvorThe AIFS program at the University ofNairobi is under the sponsorship of theuniversity's Institute of Adult Studies. Thisdepartment organizes extension courses foradults throughout Kenya and also organizessummer schools for the university.

AIFS students will become fully matriculatedmembers of the university. Students choosethe department in which they wish toconcentrate their studies and AIFS submitstheir application to the department head.Once admitted to a particular department.students tray attend any of the courses in thedepartment in which tNey are enrolled. Theymay also enroll in courses offered by °tiff rdepartments to obtain a multi-facetedapproach to their program of studies. Forexample. a student interested inanthropology may take courses in thedepartments of sociology, history andlinguistics. Students do not usually carrymore than 3 or 4 subjects at a time duringany one term. Courses of instruction are inEnglish.

ResidenceAIFS students stay in apartments close to theUniversity campus and are provided with ai'ionthly allowance to pay for food.

University Academic RequirementsThe University of Nairobi is somewhatdifferent from American universities in thatstudents qualify for entrance only afterachieving a high scholarship at the end of 6years of secondary school, which is followedby 3 years of undergraduate study. In orderto avoid congesting their first year classesthe University of Nairobi will permit AIFS toenroll only those students who have alreadycompleted their sophomore year at theirAmerican colleges and universities.

Students in science courses will spend about9 hours per week in each class, whereasthose in "arts" courses may have only 2 or 3hours of formal lecturing in each subject perweek. 8ut lecturers also hold -tutorial"meetings each week in addition to heavyreading assignments. Thus the course workloads are likely to be much heavier than thenumber of class hours would indicate.

The school year consists of 3 terms. eachabout 13 weeks in duration, thus providing a39 week school year. The academic yearstarts in July and ends in March. Thecalendar is as follows:July 7, Arrival from New York via London

Since the University of Nairobi does notfollow the American system they do notevaluate their course work in semester or inquarter hours. However, detailed coursedescriptions and an indication of the numberof class hours of instruction can be providedso that your college or academic dean candetermine the credit equivalent of a course ofstudy at the University of Nairobi.

Required Courses for AIFS Students

It is the firm belief of the AIFS sponsors thatvisiting students to any country cannotacquire a full appreciation of the host countryunless they have some communication witha broad spectrum of the inhabitants, and alsogain an understanding of the country as awhole.

Hence. in addition to the regular courseselections made by AIFS participants. theyare expected to enroll in a special course ofconversational Swahili. which will prove veryuseful to them during excursions outsideNairobi. to the coast and into neighboringianzania where Swahili is the nationallanguage.

A seminar on Contemporary Africa is alsorequired for AIFS students, for which theymay earn additional credits. The seminar willprovide an opportunity for the participants tomeet and hear from African personalitieswho are responsible for contemporaryevents-such as writers. politicians, scientists.artists. traditional dancers. musicians andadministrators.
