Vienna University Offers Study for American Students
The University of Vienna summer school at Schloss Traunsee, Gmunden, Austria will offer courses for American students from July 25 to Sept. 4, 1955. The closing date for admission is June 15, 1955, and the closing date for scholarship applications is April 18, 1955.
Courses other than German will be conducted in English. To be eligible for entrance to the three or six-week courses, applicants must have completed at least two years of college work by June.
The curriculum features beginning, intermediate, and advanced German courses and courses in Austrian art and music, the formation of the modern European mind, and the history of Middle Europe. Psychology, political science, and law are also offered.
The school is held at the 19th century castle of Traunsee on the shore of a lake in Austria's Salskammergut district and provides an opportunity for summer study combined with outdoor vacation life at a mountain lake.
In addition to course work, the summer school's $200 tuition will include trips to Salzburg and the festival, and to nearby places of interest. Students will also be able to arrange an excursion to Vienna.
A few scholarships are available to well-qualified students who would be unable to attend the summer school without financial assistance. Applicants for these awards or for general admission should write to the Institute of International Education, 1 East 67th St., New York City.

This will be the first time that the examination will be given in Malott hall.
John W. Schrepel, executive secretary of the state board from Pratt said, "I think the University is providing the highest type of equipment to be found in any college of pharmacy.
"The druggists of Kansas are certainly fortunate, in this respect, that we do have such facilities. We think that it will be a stimulant to the growth of the enrollment in the School of Pharmacy," he said.

THE BULL SESSION
I wonder if they still make bull sessions the way they used to. Well do I remember the bull sessions of my own undergraduate days. How cogent they were! How informative! How the good talk crackled and our young hearts leaped and the hours sped by as swiftly as minutes!
Our discussions were always led by Jack Femur. (Good old Jack! I hear he's in the extruded aluminum game now.) We would sit cross-legged in a circle around Jack and he would fill his pipe with his own private blend — burley, latakia, and shredded coconut. The rest of us preferred tobacco, so we would light up Philip Morris. This is a procedure I recommend without qualification to everyone who prefers tobacco because Philip Morris has the tobacco that tobacco-preferers prefer the most – mild vintage leaf with a clean, cool flavor that soothes and steadies, that gladdens and enlivens and refreshes.
Jack would puff on his pipe and we would puff on our Philip Morris and the bull-session would begin its meandering journey. The talk would touch on every subject known to man, on every conceivable thing beneath the sun, but no matter how far the conversation wandered, it would always return to "Topic A." I refer, of course, to gardening.
But, as I say, the discussion would cover many subjects before it came to the inevitable gardening. Jack would open each session with a provocative question of a general nature, like: "What's the most important thing a man can get out of college?"
"Girls," Harold Clavicle would reply promptly. (Good old Harold! I hear he's in the frozen lobster tail game now.)
"No, I don't think so," Ben Fibula would say. "I think education is the most important thing you get out of college." (Good old Ben! He's still in school.)
"Listen, guys, I've got a question," Clyde Illium would say. "If you could spend a week either with Ava Gardner or with Albert Einstein, which would you choose?" (Good old Clyde! I hear he's in the unclaimed freight game now.)
"Albert Einstein, of course," Will Mandible would say. (Good old Will! I hear he's in the jack handle game now.)
"What??" Cleanth Patella would cry, astonished. "You would rather spend a week with Albert Einstein than with Ava Gardner?" (Good old Cleanth! I hear he's in the unclaimed freight game with Clyde Ilium.)
"Natch!" Will Mandible would answer.
"But why?" Sol Sacrum would ask. (Good old Sol! I hear he's a parking meter in Deal, New Jersey.)
"Because," Will Mandible would cry, "if I spent a week with Albert Einstein, maybe I would get so smart that I would be able to figure out a way to spend more than a week with Ava Gardner!"
Well sir, we laughed until our little uvulas were sore and then we went on to a host of other topics. "Do you think it's important to join a fraternity?" Murray Tarsus would ask. *Good old Murray! I hear he's in the mica game now.*
"Only if you are a boy," Bob Turbinate would answer. (Good old Bob! I hear he's in the sheared raccoon game now. [The raccoon, incidentally, was invented by Milton Raccoon, whose career should be a source of guidance and inspiration to us all. Mr. Raccoon arrived in this country in 1907, penniless and not speaking a word of English. Today he is the Mayor of four of our principal cities.)
But to get back to the bull session — "What's the best thing to do when the girl you are dancing with insists on leading?" Eric Ulna would ask. (Good old Eric! I hear he's in the flutter valve game now.)
"Hit her with a folded newspaper," George Vertebra would answer. "Never hit a girl with your hand. They learn to associate the hand with food, and you must not confuse them." (Good old George! I hear he's in the folded newspaper game now.)
And so it went – the talk ranging the worlds of the arts and the sciences and the social graces, until we would climb, spent but happy, into our little hammocks . . . I wonder if they still make bull sessions the way they used to.
