I would like to call your attention to the University Study Mission we are planning for this sunmer. The Mission extends from June 18 to August 13, 1968, and will include several day visits in Paris, Marseilles, Geneva, Munich, Berlin (East and West), and London and more than a month in Israel. To be eligible for the Mission the student must be a ma.le and under twenty- four years of age and must have completed hls freshman year at a university or college by June 18th.
The cost pe~ person for the eight week period is $1300.00, which includes the overseas flights and all travel, hotel acco!IIDodations and food abroad. The Mission is part of our leadership developillg program. We are, therefore, interested in limiting the Mission to young men who have leadership potential and would benefit from the exposure to the rich and meaningf'ul program that the Mission provides - - meetings with the Jewish leadership of the places visited, dialogues with Jewish students. an introduction to the overseas operations of the UJA. supported agencies, and an intensive study of every important phase of life in Israel. The program also makes ample provision for relaxation and tun. I know that you recognize the importance of the Mission and hope that you will take the time to recommend some young men who, in your Judgment, have the qualifications to be pa.rt of the group. It would be especially help:f'ul if you would speak with the students you want to recommend and enlist their interest in the Mission even before you submit their names . But this is not a must.
The reservations will be handled on a first-come, first. served basis. I would, therefore, urge you to give this matter your earliest attention.

OUr Cabinet has been asked to assist in securing eligible candidates tor t his summer's UJA University Study Mission and I turn to you to make every effort to help this phase of the UJA leadership program.
The University Mission will extend from June 18 to August 13 and will include several day visits in Paris, Marseilles, Geneva, Munich, Berlin (East and West), and London and more than a month in Israel. In each of the places the participants will meet with Jewish students and with the leadership of the local Jewish communities and see the thi~s unique to the place. The stay in Iara.el will afford the stu dents the opportunity to share in the life of the country and to study Israel's major problems. The itinerary also makes ample provision for relaxation. All in all the Mission offers its participants a fine combination of travel, study and fU.n .

The price of the Mission to the individual participant is $1300. 00, which includes the overseas flights and all travel, hotel accommodations and food abroad.

If you know of someone who, in your Judg ment, has all the qualifications for membership on the Mission, please record your recommendation on the enclosed form and mail it to Mr. Hyman. It would, of course, be of great help if you would speak with the persons you want to r ecommend and enlist their interest in the Mission even before submitting their names.

I am sending you this memorandum with the approval of Rabbi Oscar Groner.
I. 1968 UJA UNIVERSITY STUDY MISSlai
We would appreciate your help in securing eligible candidates for this year's UJA University Study Mission.
The enthusiastic reaction of the twenty-six men who participated in the first such Study Mission, which we conducted last summer, bas persuaded us not only to repeat the project this year, but to expand the size o! the group to forty five.
The Mission this summer will extend from June 18 to August 13, 1968, and will include several days visits to Paris, Marseilles, Geneva, Munich, Berlin, London and 32 days in Israel.
To be eligible, the candidate must be a male and lDlder twenty-four years o£ age and have completed his freshman year at a university or college by June 18th. The cost to the participants is $1300.00, which includes the overseas flights and all travel, accommodations and food abroad.
Our primary aim is to offer the experience to men who have leadership potential. We feel that you are in a unique position to help in the selection of the men who merit an invitation to participate in the Mission and we would ask you to interview the students you consider eligible and give us your recommendations. You may rest assured that we will give the most serious consideration to the application of anyone you recommend who, a1ter an interview, expressed an interest in participating in the Mission. If you will send us the names of these men, we will follow up on your recommendations.
I am enclosing a draft of a letter which you might use to invite students for a personal interview with you.
II. STUDENT CAMPAIGNS
I am enclosing samples of material that is available tor student campaigns, together Vith' a form that you may use to order quantities ot this material.
ASH/is Encl. .. SUGGESTED DRAFT OF LETTER TO UJA tlNIVERSI'IY STUDY MISSI<:fi PROSPECTS
Dear ...... I am very eager to talk to you about your participation in a Univer-
sity Study Mission this summer which is being sponsored by the national
office of the United Jewish Appeal. The greatest care is being taken
to limit the group to men who are congenial and who have leadership
potential.
The Mission will extend from June 18 to August 13 and will include
several days visits in Paris, Marseilles, Geneva, Munich, Berlin and
more than a month in Israel.
Judging from the reactions of the twenty-six students who participated
in last year's Study Mission, which was the first of its kind, I am con-
vinced that you would find the experience an unforgettable one. In every
place you would visit you would meet with Jewish students and with the
leadership of the local Jewish community. In Israel you would make an
intensive study of every important facet of the life of the country.
I am informed that tbe itinerary, as planned, makes ample provision
for relaxation and fun.
Please call me for an appointment when we can discuss the Mission
in person.
Sincerely,
(ASH/is-2/1/68) T~ $10,000 AND OVER CONTRIBUTCBS
November 14, 1967
In the summer of 1967, the UJA conducted the first overseas Univer sity Study Mission. Twenty- six students from communities, large and small, spent eight weeks visiting France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria , Greece and all of Israel, including some of the recently occupied territories.
The members of the University Study Mission met with leaders of Jewish conmunities abroad, engaged in dialogues with their contemporaries and observed at first hand the programs of the Jewish Agency, Joint Distri bution Committee, ORT and United Rias Service in Europe and Israel. These experiences had a great impact upon the students at a crucial period of their lives.
In view of the success of the first University Mission, it has been decided to conduct a similar program in the summer of 1968. The cost per person will be $1300.00 which will include air travel, meals and hotels for eight weeks, from June 20 to August 15, 1968.
The 1968 University Study Mission is limited to fifty male partici pants from the entire country, who have completed their freshman year, and are under the age of 24. We are interested in candidates who quality on the basis of their potential for leadership on the campus or in the community. Reservations are now being handled on a first- come first- served basis. It is, therefore, important that we receive any indication of interest on your .Part e.s soon as possible. Sincerely yours,
Max M. Fisher General Cbainr.a.n
