The Deutscher Zirkel, through its
faculty adviser, Mr. Otto Graf, has
announced the presentation of a
German sound film, to be given at

demicians who toured Germany dur-

tation of the Karl Schurz Foundation

sents an ideal itinerary of sights in
Germany, Mr. Graf said.

Department of Political Science, and
Clarence S. Yoakum, vice-president
of the "University.
The tour begins in Bremen, pro-
ceeds east to Berlin and to East Prus-
sia, thence to Saxony, Weimar and
Jena: The birthplace of great men
of Germany are visited nand the tour
ends with a trip up the historic
Rhine.
