The College Men's Travel Clubs will make their sixth annual trip this summer, visiting France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and England. Sailing from New York on the "Zeeland" of the Red Star Line on June 28, the group will travel through these countries until August 22 when they return on the "Caronia", a Cunard Line ship.
In previous years the parties, composed of representatives from 31 colleges and schools, have been entertained at dinners in London under the auspices of the American University Union, at which they have met the heads of the leading educational institutions of England. They have been also received by the headmasters and representatives of the student body at Winchester and Eton Colleges, as well as Oxford and Cambridge. At the Episcopal Palace at Malines they were welcomed by Cardinal Mercier. A portion of the group was granted an audience with His Holiness, Plus X.
