British Universities have com-
bined annually since 1948 to or-
ganize a special program of sum-
mer schools. Courses are planned
to serve the needs of well-qualifi-
ed countries. Although two-third's
of the students '.at previous ses-
sions iiave come from English-
speaking countries, the opportuni-
ty to live in a university communi-
ty with fellow students of.similai
interests from many , nations has
become a feature of the 'courses.
The courses attract those ranging
in age from 20 to 50. Interests
vary from those of the teacher and
professional to those of the scien-
tist and business man.
Historical Themes
The Edinburgh School,' arranged
jointly by the Scottish Universi-
ties, will have an historical theme,
tracing the development of modern
western civilization. In London the
galleries, museums, records, and
buildings serve as special source
material for a study of the seven-
teenth and eighteenth centuries.
The course at Stratford-upon-Avon
focuses on the literary and the-
atrical aspects of Shakespearean
and Elizabethan drama. Contem-
porary politics and literature are
studied under widely known lec-
turers and tutors at Oxford.
In addition to a listing of avai-
lable awards the Institute pamph-
let suggests fields of study in
the countries where awards are of-
fered. Suggested fields are lan-
guages and cultures, fine and ap-
plied arts, sciences, government
and history, social sciences, and'
philosophy and theology.
The Institute of International
Education administers exchange
programs for public and private
agencies in the U. S. and abroad.
Each year approximately 4,000
persons from 80 countries study or
train in a country other than their
own under its auspices.

the filler cigarette that really tastes like a cigarette!
KINGSIZE,
TOO!
B No wonder Winston's so popular with
college smokers! It's got real flavor—full,
rich flavor you'll really enjoy. Winston
tastes good—like a cigarette should!
Along with finer flavor, Winston also
brings you a finer filter. The exclusive
Winston filter works so effectively, yet
doesn't "thin'' the taste-or flatten the
flavor. Winston lets you draw smoothly,
easily—there's no effort to puff!
;; Try Winston, the filter, cigarette that
tastes good—like a cigarette should! ,
