'University Afloat' Plans Annual World Cruise
Sixth Tour Around World Leaves New York October 5
The sixth annual University Cruise around the world, offering students the opportunity of combining a program of standard systematic university courses with the advantages of comprehensive, directed travel, will sail from New York October 5, 1931, in the S.S. "Resolute" was announced recently at the office of the University Travel association, New York City. After completing their 234-day study trip to 33 countries in Europe, the Near East, and the Orient the rope, the Near East, and the Orient, the "Resolute" May 27, 1932.
Dr. James E. Lough, dean at New York University for 18 years and originator and organizer of the first "University Afloat" in 1926, will again direct the educational program of the cruise. Dr. Mary S. Crawford, dean of women at the University of Southern California, has been appointed to one of the floating college's administrative positions for the year 1931-32. The courses are to be conducted by a faculty of professors and instructors from Yale, University of Oklahoma, University of Texas, and similar institutions.
The curriculum of the University cruise is limited to subjects which students can study to particular advantage while traveling. Courses in comparative government, modern world history, sociology, history and appreciation of art and architecture, economics, geology, and the literature of Europe and Asia are among those listed in the catalog. In scope, method, number of class meetings and other requirements, corrises on the cruise are similar to courses at land universities. Study trips in the countries visited constitute a part of the required work. Credit for courses satisfactorily completed by students on previous world cruises has been given by leading universities in all sections of the United States.
The 1931-32 "University Afloat" consists of two students. During the first term students visit 10 countries in Europe. Periods of resident study are held in the university towns of Oxford, Strasbourg, Innsbruck, Pisa, and Heidelberg, as well as during the Atlantic crossing in the "Resolute," and classes are conducted on regular schedule. England, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Monaco and the Riviera, Switzerland, and Italy are included in this itinerary.
The second semester is held on board the 20,000-ton steamship “Resolute,” which the students rejoin at Naples. Classes meet daily at sea in special rooms and on deck. During this semester students visit Greece, Palestine, Egypt, French Somaliland in East Africa, India, Ceylon, Prince of Wales Island, Malaya, Siam, the Straits Settlements, Java, Bali, Sulu, the Philippines, Formosa, China, Korea, Japan, the Hawaiian Islands, California, Panama, and Cuba.
Woman Sheds Clothing but Modest Man Refuses
Washington.—The wiercake that circulated in recent years, about women outstripping the men when it comes to keeping cool, was just another true word spoken in jest. Whatever psychological inhibitions the ladies may have heaved overboard with the close of the late lamented Victorian era, they certainly bought themselves more comfort and better health in hot weather when they shed their supernumerary petticoats. Even with a return of somewhat longer skirts within the past year or two, they have still kept the essence of their emancipation from heat.
Skirts, if they are not too numerous or too voluminous, are much better hot-weather garments than trousers. This is evidenced in part by the ancestral lines of the two types of garment. Trousers were invented, apparently, in the cooler parts of the world; the cold northern lands around the Baltic, and the uplands of Persia and China. Skirts are evolutions of the hot lands. They were worn by both men and women in ancient Babylonia and Egypt, and they are still worn by brown and black peoples who take the trouble to wear any mentionable clothes at all. The poor sweltering male suffers another disadvantage which is anatomical and inherent rather than traditional. He insists on holding up his trousers with a belt and he hasn't any proper waist for the belt to cling to. Even a slim young fellow has to pull himself in quite a bit in the middle, and as for poor, portly FortyPlus--well, he's just out o'luck.
Crash Victims Improving
One Student Is Released from Hospital;
Companion Remains
Miss Thelma Forth, who with her companion, Reed Hemphill, was injured in an auto accident Friday evening, was released from the Lawrence Memorial hospital Sunday, June 28. Hemphill will not be released from the hospital for two or three days, although his condition is reported to be improving.
The two summer school students received injuries in an automobile collision about three miles north of Lawrence on highway 73W Friday evening. Miss Forth received bruises on the left elbow and arm and Hemphill was injured in one eye. The accident occurred when cars driven by Hemphill and Mrs. H. R. Espy, Avondale, Mo., collided. The cars, both Ford coupes, were badly damaged and were towed to a local garage.
Pittsburg, Kan.-Two students of the Kansas State Teachers College here have received appointments to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. They are Richard Weede, Pittsburg, sophomore, and Albert Bontier, Joplin, freshman. They expect to leave for Annapolis next week.
Occupants of the Espy car, Mrs. Espy,
her husband, two daughters, Helen and
Florence, and Patrick Tobin, were taken
to the hospital for observation.
