The University of Munich was my place of study, and my field was German literature. Munich, the capital of beautiful Bavaria, proved to be a most satisfactory center for me. It is, as is well-known, one of the leading cultural centers of Germany. But rather than describe my activities in Munich, I shall devote this article to one particular phase of my Fulbright year; to vacation travel. Surely there is nothing to equal spending many months in one place, as I did in Munich; yet a long time spent in one place limits the scope of one's impressions. The traveling which I did during vacations supple- mented my sojourn in Munich and brought me a variety of rich and valuable experiences. If I had to choose one aspect of my travels that stood over and above all else, I should say it was the human contact. Art treasures, mag- nificent scenery, exciting new places-all these I would not have missed-and yet it was the common, everyday occur- rence of meeting people that made the lasting impression which transcends merely personal benefit. In these meet- ings, however fleeting, two cultures were brought closer together through the medium of individual rapport. Now when I hear the word Spain, I do not think pri- marily of a geographical area or of a fascist government. I think also of the Spanish people I met; of the delightful Alhambra guide who introduced me and the other Amer- ican girl with whom I traveled to a Spanish family.

We always arranged to spend the night on. the train; that eliminated having to look for and pay for a place to sleep. Four out of eight nights in Yugoslavia we spent on trains. Third-class sections had the usual old wooden benches, and the trains were always filled to overflowing, mostly with peasants. I had almost got used to being stared at as a tourist. I was unblushingly stared at in every European country in which I traveled. In Yugoslavia, though, tourists are genuinely rare, and the staring went far beyond my former experiences. Whole groups of people would cluster about us and discuss us.

The thought of traveling by myself worried me a bit. Although traveling cheaply was a primary concern, it did seem risky for a girl to go alone into a cheap hotel. I found the perfect solution: I stayed in convents. They were inexpensive, clean, and above all, safe. It was my good fortune to be in Italy, a country in which convents customarily take in travelers. During two conversations, one in Assisi, the other in Siena, in English and in German, respectively, I told the sisters that I was not Catholic, but that fact made no difference. In Assisi there was a home of American sisters and in Siena, where there were no Americans, I found the only German sister in the entire city. In the convents in Padua and Venice, I had to get by on my few words of Italian. Loel and I agreed that we had enjoyed traveling to- gether more than we would have as members of a group. We had no conflicts as to travel plans, a condition hard to achieve in a larger group. Unavoidably on a planned tour one wastes some time in places in which he isn't interested, or is rushed away from places where he yearns to stay longer. Also, we came in contact with more of the people of the various countries than would have been possible in a group. We'll never forget the warm recep- /11 Salzburg costume tion we got everywhere.

It was frightening, though, to encounter face to face the rigidity of their belief. It is the very essence of our own liberal education that, while holding .firm to our own beliefs, we respect and try to understand the beliefs of others. It is hard even to reach a common ground of exchange of ideas with people who blindly hold to their own ideas, without examining or attempting to understand the beliefs of others, as was true of these Communists.

Artemis Blessts Ramaker '50, Alumnae Fund Chairman for 1954- 55, was the Director of Solicitors for the Hartford area in last year's campaign. In her work with the Solicitors, with the Hartford Club members, and in her reports of con- tributions, she was an outstandingly able worker. Artemis has worked for the Hart- ford Courant as a reporter for the society page, on the women's club page, and has done some general re- porting and book reviewing. She also has done publicitYr and fund-raising for the Tuberculosis Society of Hart- ford in its sale of seats. Her hus- band, Robert Ramaker, is a Trinity alumnus who is a reporter for the Hartford Courant, and is keenly in- terested in the Connecticut College Alumnae Fund Campaign. During the past summer Artemis was stage manager of a little theater in Farm- ington, Connecticut. Not the least of Artemis's qualifi- cations for her job as Fund Chairman Artemis Blessis Ramaker! 50, Alumnae Fund Chairman is her deep belief in the great! im- portance and significance of contri- UR JOBS as members of the Alumnae Fund Committee would he awfully easy jf all butions by alumnae--both direct O the alumnae who still INTEND to contribute to the Alumnae Fund for '54·55 would financial contributions and other put down this letter, write out their checks and mail them NOW! 1£ that should happen, the campaign would be over by the New Year.

Engraved from drawings of four scenes of the campus by Robert Fulton. Logan
Knowlton HOllse
Harkness Chapel
THE PLATES are sold in sets of four. Sets include one plate of each of the four scenes illustrated on this page.
THE COLOR is a dark, soft sepia gray on white which was~es- pecially developed by Wedgwood in collaboration with the historical museum at Williamsburg. It will suit any decor, or go well with any other china as dinner plates. Easl Entrance THE SHAPE is the original "Traditional", designed in 1783 by Josiah Wedgwood, yet it was chosen by the alumnae com- mittee because of its modern air, and because it lent itself perfectly to Me Logan's designs.
THE SETS make excellent presents for showers, weddings, birth- days, and other anniversaries. Several friends can pool their resources if necessary to make this really-to-be-treasured gift, and of course you will want a set of your own.
THE PRICE is $15 per set, or $42 lor three sets. Orders, ac- companied by check, made payable and sent to the Connecticut College Alumnae-Association in New London. Shipment will be made by the Wedgwood warehouse directly to the address designated by you. You and your friends will greatly enjoy the plates. Palmer Librctry
