---=-- DAYTON, Ohio, March 4, 1968 Very Rev. Raymond A. Roesch, S.M., President

of the University of Dayton, will make his second overseas trip in a year this month when he goes to Paris, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and West Germany. His visit, at the

invitation of the French Government, is to study international education as it could apply to the University of Dayton.

Father Roesch, while presenting the 1967 Marianist Award to President Eduardo

Frei-Montalva of Chile last May, visited universities in three South American countries to study possible exchange programs. Out of that trip, Father Roesch established the

Office of International Education on campus. He placed Dr. Mario Saquel of the Langu- ages in charge of the office. Dr. Saquel is currently formulating educational programs for the University, its faculty and students.

While in Europe from March 15 to April 19, Father Roesch will visit universities

in Paris, Nantes) Angers, Strasbourg, Bordeaux) and Nice. He also has a meeting

scheduled with the French Minister of Education. He will visit schools in Madrid,

Rome, and Freibourg, Switzerland.

During his Rome visit he will meet with Very Rev. Joseph Hoffer, Superior General of the Society of Mary, and Rev. Thomas Stanley, former UD Provost who is in charge of the Marianists Zeal program.

His final trip will be to Dayton's Sister City, Augsburg, West Germany. He hopes to observe colleges in that area if there is time. He also will have lunch with

Mayor Pepper of Augsburg.

Father Roesch, in making this second trip, expressed the desire for "strengthening our own international education program. A year abroad program should offer courses which are not areas of specialty at UD and, in turn, we could offer foreign students courses, such as computer science, which are not specialties in Europe.
