New Mexico ... home of two spring term classes. Dr. J. S. McCrary’s anthropology class did socio¬ logical field work near Abiquiu, making daily trips to villages in the surrounding area to ac¬ quaint themselves with the people and their problems. Studies were made of customs, ethnic backgrounds, and community development. Under the leadership of Dr. Stan Totten, the geology field trip class studies rock formations and other geological conditions in the arid New Mexican earth —quite a change from fossil¬ collecting at Hanover. Both classes were able to make side-trips to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Headquarters for all Hanover students was Ghost Ranch, where they—spooked around.

Hanover branches out . . England . . . cold, rainy, no central heating —but no one really cares; you don’t notice the weather when you’re marching in the Shakespeare Birthday Parade, or ex¬ ploring London shops, or listening to a noted Shakes¬ pearean scholar. For sixteen Hanover students, the trip was a chance to see, to hear, to learn; for the trip, plan¬ ned by Dr. Dorothy Bucks, included classes on Shakes¬ peare and other Ehzabethans, visits to .famous British landmarks, and professional performances of four of the plays being studied. Of course, there was also time for private discovery of not-so-famous spots that became your own. Members of the class spent free weekends in various parts of the British Isles, following their own interests. Still others toured other European countries after the official close of the five-week course. But somehow, pervading all, was the unaccountable, inexpressible magic of Stratford.

V. New York . . . “it’s a wonderful town.” The World’s Fair, Broadway plays, TV studios, plush 5th Avenue shops, and of course, the subways and Automats. For the Hanover political science group studying the United Nations with Dr. Glenn Mower, there were always places to go, things to do, people to see. But perhaps the most valuable part of the trip was not the expansive and expensive wonder of the city, but the face-to-face encounter with the U.N. itself. Each class member pursued an independent study project and gathered first¬ hand information from group briefing sessions and private interviews with U.N. mission mem¬ bers. Their work was rewarded by a keener understanding of the U.N. and by a new reah- zation of the contributions and needs of this vital world organization.
