"Floating College"

Dean James Edwin Lough of the Extramural Division of New York University is planning to charter the Shipping Board vessel President Arthur to be used by 450 students and a faculty of 40. The students will complete one year of college work while making a tour around the world. Under naval discipline, they will witness the Panama Canal, Asiatic waters, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, Atlantic ports as far north as Christiania and Bergen.

The cost to each student will be about $2,000 and the trip will start next Fall, unless unforeseen 'difficulties force its postponement for a year.
