Professor gave financial help
A 101-year-old former professor of French, Miss Elise NeuenSchwander, died yesterday morning in Watkins Memorial Hospital.
She was for many years a well-known member of the KU faculty, serving in the office of the dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and performing duties comparable to those of an assistant or associate dean today.
A native of Switzerland, Miss NeuenSchwander became an American citizen in 1892.
Noted for her financial help to students, Miss NeuenSchwander established a loan fund honoring her father, a scholarship honoring her niece and another scholarship for students from Trego County, where her five surviving nephews live. She also established the Galloo-Neuen-Schwander Scholarship Fund at KU.

Another bulletin comes from Wagner College in Staten Island announcing summer job, travel and study opportunities in Germany. Travel in Germany comprises a round-trip jet flight from New York to Frankfurt; and study covers a four-week course in intensive German at German University.
Summer travel is outlined
With summer approaching, airlines, travel agencies and publishers of travel books are sending bulletins to attract students to study or travel abroad.
A news release from the IIE explained that candidates who wish to apply for an award must be U.S. citizens, have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant and, in most cases, be proficient in the language of the host country.
More information about these grants, are available through IIE under the Fulbright-Hays Act, can be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Aid, 26 Strong Hall.
The Institute of International Education (IIE), which will officially open its annual competition for grants on May 1, offers funds for graduate study or research abroad in 42 countries and for professional training in the creative and performing arts during the academic year. 1970-71.
Another study-travel jaunt is announced for education in the
Soviet Union. This bulletin described summer tours to Leningrad, Moscow, Sochi and Kiev which reportedly include regular scheduled air transportation and sightseeing and educational programs.
Reportedly aimed at helping the student get the most out of this study experience abroad, publishing houses advertise books on study in foreign countries. One such book published by Harper and Row is "The New Guide To Study Abroad," written by Columbia University history professor, John A. Garraty, Walter Adams, a member of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Educational Exchange, and Cyril Taylor, President of the American Institute for Foreign Study.
The IIE has also published its twentieth annual edition of "Summer Study Abroad," a news release announced recently. The book, it said, is a guide to summer programs abroad sponsored by foreign institutions. The bulletin stated there were more than 200 courses at educational institutions in 35 countries listed-most courses conducted in Europe at such universities as Grenoble, Paris, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Madrid, Edinburgh and other major institutions.
"Summer Study Abroad" is available from IIE, 809 United Nations Plaza, New York City.
