Thus activity still centers on the market square. Krakow also contains Wawel castle, where Polish kings and poets are interred. The castle has1 a legend of its own, of a dragon' which lived in a cave below it; it is also a record of Polish archi- tecture, sections having been built in 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Outside Krakow are two "tour- ist attractions" of a different sort, the steel town Nowa Huta and the concentration camp Auschwitz.

Auschwitz today, 13 years after Sclosing, is only a neat series of brick buildings surrounded by more electric fencing than any American is likely to have seen. It is run by the Ministry of Culture and Science. Inside the buildings, one sees showcases full of watches taken by the Nazis from Polish Jews, the signs say, and of hair cut from women prisoners used for hairnets or tailors' backing. Thebbrick buildings, one is told, were built for the benefit of the Red Cross inspectors. The original housing in which men slept like animals is illustrated in their dis- plays.

University HAVING SPENT a year as an exchange student at the Uni- versity of London, one returns to the United States to find an avid interest in British higher educa-E tion A brief description of some of the mechanics of an English uni- versity will provide a general basis of reference with which to con- sider the British approach to higher education. Indirectly it might create a broader perspec- tive with which to view American education. Founded in the early nineteenth century, the University of London was conceived as an institution teaching all subjects and open to all people. It did not discriminate against nonconformist Protes- tants, Roman Catholics, or Jews- three groups which were either not permitted to enter or to gradu- ate from the other English uni- versities. Throughout the years its facul- ties have achieved the excellence associated with British higher education and today a student en- rollment of over 20,000 crowds through the large group of its affiliated schools and colleges. UNIVERSITY College and the London School of Economics are two of these constituent units. Operating under the general ad- ministration and regulations of the University, each offers its own courses of instruction and awards its own degrees. University College, the more comprehensive, offers a wide range of departments in separate facul- ties of general arts, science, en- gineering, medicine and laws. The lectures, classes and seminars of the London School of Economics are more specialized, dealing pri- marily with social studies and law. As is generally the case in Britain, it is usually expected the bache- lor's degree will be obtained in three years. Admission is based principally upon a group of General Certifi- cate of Education (GCE) exami- nations which normally is taken upon the completion of a student's secondary education. In most cases five subjects must be passed, two of which must be at an advanced level. The subjects must be chosen from an approved list which includes English litera- ture, history, economics, logic, pure and applied mathematics, chemistry, physics, geology, bot- any, zoology and a number of languages. There are restrictions against Lewis Engman, a graduate of the University in June, 1957, studied last year at the Univer- sity of London. unmistakable Ioo0 of luxury Examination papers are gradedt in three general categories. Most students receive "passes" of "thirds;" a large number obtain "seconds" which are divided into upper" and "lower" divisions: a handful are able to attain the distinction of a "first." THESE ARE some of the basic mechanics and structural as- pects of British higher education today. Comparisons between the educational systems of two coun- tries are dangerous and apt to be misleading, but a few general ob- servations might be made. One of the fundamental prin- ciples of American education is universality, a belief that equal SENATE HOUSE-Presently the tallest structure in London, the administrative building for the University of London was built after the war. The old was destroyed during the war. the combination of certain over- I work has some connection with lapping subjects. Specific courses of instruction entail special re-] quirements. Entrants into the Fac- ulty of Arts at University College, for example, must include two languages other than English, one+ of which must be a classical lan- guage. HAVING BEEN admitted to a{ university, the British under- graduate has far greater spe- cialized training than that which faces his American counterpart. It is assumed that he has already received what is generally called a broad, liberal education; his three years are filled with work in his chosen field together with a few courses in related areas. The academic year at the Uni- versity of London consists of three ten week terms between the first of October and the first of July. These are separated by a five week vacation at Christmas and one of six weeks in the spring. These vacation bonanzas are not all that they might appear, however. Students are advised that they should spend consider- able time during their vacation in private reading and revision. Paid vacation employment is definitely discouraged; it is re- commended only when it will be of value for some special reason, for example, when the type of the student's degree course or pro- posed career. IT CAN BE SEEN from this that the student is not expected to contribute much financially to his own education. There is a na- tional program of scholarships with vast provisions as an ac- cepted part of Britain's welfare state. Families are asked to contribute according to their ability to do so, but the governmental grants are designed to cover at least basic expenses for most students. The size of lecture classes varies as it does in the United States and it is not uncommon for introduc- tory courses to have enrollments of over one hundred. Professors are easily accessible, occasionally inviting small groups of students to their homes in the evenings. Examinations take place in late June; there are no exams in each subject at the end of each term. In fact, the work of the entire first two years is often examined in a "Part I" test at the end of the second year, although an un- official exam may be given earlier to give the first year student a guide to his progress. The award- ing of a degree is based upon satisfactory completion of the "Part 11" examination given at the end of the third year of study.
