Three Swedish Fellowships Open To American Students
The Swedish government, through the Sweden-America foundation, has made available three fellowships to American students for graduate study in Sweden during the academic year of 1951-52. These fellowships are offered for study at the Universities of Gothenburg, Lund, Stockholm and Upsala and at other institutions.
YOUR EYES
Application blanks can be obtained from Dr. J. A. Burzle, Fulbright advisor at the University.
Appointees must have sufficient funds of their own to pay the cost of passage to and from Sweden, travel and vacations in Europe, as well as incidental expenses. A married candidate who plans to take wife or husband must have adequate funds to cover travel and maintenance for dependents.
Each fellowship carries a cash stipend of 3,860 Swedish crowns, a sum sufficient to cover room and board in a university town. It is expected that tuition fees will be waived, except in the Graduate Course for English speaking students at the University of Stockholm, for which the tuition is approximately $400.
Preference will be given to those who have not had the opportunity to study in Sweden. Candidates must present proof of:
1. American citizenship.
2. A bachelor's degree from an American college or university of recognized standing (or meet this requirement by the summer of 1951.)
3. An adequate knowledge of Swedish.
4. Good academic record and capacity for independent study.
5. Good moral character, personality and adaptability.
6. Good health.
In certain scientific fields and in the Graduate Course for English Speaking Students at the University of Stockholm, a knowledge of Swedish is not necessary but is preferable.
Professor Named To Fulbright Board
Dr. Phillip Mitchell, assistant professor of Germanic languages, has been appointed a member of the National Fulbright Selection board by the state department. The board, under the chairmanship of Prof. Howard Mumford Jones of Harvard university, passes on Fulbright Scholarship applications.
The counselors in the Guidance bureau find that many persons know their capabilities and weaknesses before they are tested. The confirmation of this knowledge proves to be very important.
It is possible for students also to use the occupational library without taking the tests, said Lee Isaacson, director of the occupational library.
Students desiring the help of counselors regarding their occupational problems can have as many conferences as they feel necessary.

Dr. Mitchell, who has studied in Europe for several years, came to the University this fall from Harvard university to teach Germanic languages, specializing in Scandinavian languages and literature.
University instructors may also use the library in assisting students in finding occupations or to show how their courses apply in occupational areas. Library records indicate that many students either don't realize the library exists or merely fail to make use of the material.

The key of the occupational library is the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles". It defines the 40,000 jobs and lists numerous others connected with the major fields. It provides a convenient code system by which the occupational material is filed.
Another valuable guide in choosing an occupation is the "Occupational. Outlook.. Handbook."... The handbook describes the nature of a job, training qualifications, earnings, outlook, and places to write for additional information.
Mr. Isaacson explained that most of the material in the library is in the form of unbound pamphlets and that many books are not bound since occupational conditions are changing constantly.
Thousands of pamphlets are on file in the library, said Mr. Isaacson and they give a more detailed analysis of jobs than the occupational die-
