The first duty of a student from theI
United States on, his arrival in Paris
to take up work in the University is
to hunt up the American. Student
Union at 173 Boulevard St. Germain.
This organization, of which it may be
said in passing, Prof. Charles B. Vib-
bert of the University of Michigan
was director in Paris fi*e years ago,
will lend valuable aid in getting the
prospective student acclimated. There
are roooms to find, matriculation to
go through, etc., all of which are puz-
zling propositions to a stranger in a
foreign country. The Union is really
an attractive little club, with. .a neat
library and an efficient mail service.
Through it, informal social gatherings!
are arranged and all efforts made to
l enable the American student to
mingle with the French people, pro-
fessors, students, and prominent peo-
ple in Paris. The services of the.
Union should be sought early and'
many troubles will be eliminated.
A plan has been inaugurated inJ
Paris which may make it easier for
French and American students to be
brought together. On a site at the
Cite Universitaire dormitories are be-
ing erected by various nations for the
use of students .coming from the
countries to which the buildings be-
long. Already Canada, Belgium, and,
Argentina have such buildings erected,
in the international student city and
here representatives of these coun-1
tries can live, always in constant as-!
sociation with students of France andr
other lands. Here those from any
countries eat at a. commons, where
good food is sold cheaply. They are,
housed in carefully planned rooms.
U. S. May Have Dormitory
The U. S. has an option on a plot,
of ground in this Cite UniversitaireI
but sufficient funds for a building have
not been raised to warrant taking up
the option. It is due to expire but
French authorities aesire to extend it
another year and the American com-
mittee has arranged to do so. $200,-
000 must be raised if the U. S. is to
have a building for 50 or 100 students.
In various branches and in many
ways, there are great advantages to
be gained by an American studying
in Paris. The Sorbonn-e, as the uni-
versity is usually called loyally, dates
back to 1253, when Robert de Sorbon
founded it as a college for the recep-
tion of professors and students ,of
theolcgy of the University of Paris,
which had been founded 50 years
earlier. One of the buildings, the
Church of the Sorbonne, dates back
to 1635, and was begun by Cardinal
Richelieu. The buildings are 'located
in an interesting section of thedcity,
differing of course from the Ameri-
can universities in that they are not
surrounded by a campus. The prin-
cipal edifice is a vast pile 270 yards
long and 100 yards wide. There are
about 20,000 students enrolled in the
University at the present time.
