"American students and teachers are
invited to enjoy the privileges of study
at the National University of Mexico,"
writes Douglas L. Parker, representative of the American Friends Service
Committee in Mexico.
"The revolution is over, and people
arc returning to normal activities,"
says Mr. Parker.
"Mexico wants, and needs our friendship, and the summer school of the
Mexican National University Ls one of
the most potent agencies for the fostering of international friendship and
understanding ibetween Americans and
Mexicans.
"The rates are reasonable, the climate is delightful and the opportunities
arc unusual for American students to
study American life and civilization.
"A knowledge of the .Spanish language is not a prerequisite."
The fourth summer session of the
National University of Mexico will be
held in Mexico City from July 9 to

Spanish will find here most favorable
opportunities for studying that lang
