Notre Dame, Ind., May lh -- The University of Notre Dame will

extend its sophomore foreign study program to a second European country,

and, for the first time, include young women from nearby Saint Mary's

College, it was announced today by Dr. Thomas E. Stewart, associate

vice president for academic affairs.

Stewart said twenty-five Notre Dame students and twenty-one students

from St. Mary's will spend their sophomore year beginning this fall at the

Catholic University of the West, a coeducational institution at Angers,

France. Another group of forty Notre Dame students will spend the 1966-67 school year at the University of Innsbruck in Austria where the Sophomore

Year of Studies was inaugurated two years ago.

Stewart announced the appointment of Prof. Charles E. Parnell,

of the department of modern languages, as resident director of the Angers

program for a two-year period. He also named Rev. Lawrence G. Broestl, C.S.C.,

associate professor of modern languages, as director of the Innsbruck program

succeeding Rev. Thomas Engleton, C.S.C.

One hundred Notre Dame students will have completed the Innsbruck

program in June, Stewart noted. "We are very much pleased with its develop­

ment," he said, "and we're convinced that a year of study abroad can be a

significant factor in a student's educational development."

Sophomore Year of Studies...2

According to Prof. Parnell, the Notre Dame and St. Mary's students

hound for France will sail from New York August 26th. From early September

until mid-October, they will be engaged in an intensive language and orienta­

tion program on the campus at Angers. During the regular academic year, from

mid-October to June, the American group will take courses in French language

and literature, the history of the arts, French history, Christian anthro­

pology, philosophy in France and political and economic institutions.

All the courses, Parnell said, will be taught in French by faculty

members of the Catholic University of the West who will take into account

the background and needs of the American students. The Notre Dame-St* Mary1s

group, he said, will be incorporated as fully as possible into the French

student life of the university. Half of them will live in university residences

and the other half in private homes, exchanging the type of residence at mid­

year. All will take their meals at the student restaurant along with the

French students.Parnell explained that the basic cost for the Sophomore Year of Studies

in France, including round-trip travel from New York, is approximately the same

as the overall tuition-board-and-room fee at Notre Dame or St. Mary's.

Angers has a population of 130,000 and is, in many ways, typical of

French provincial cities. It is southwest of Paris, about a three-hour trip

from the French capital and an hour's drive from the Atlantic. It is the site

of the University of Angers which was founded in the fourteenth century, but

which passed from the scene at the time of the French Revolution. The Catholic

University of the West at Angers was founded in 1875* It is a regional Catholic

university representing thirteen dioceses of western France. Its rector, Rev.

Jean Honore, heads an institution of 3,200 students who are enrolled in four

colleges and a number of affiliated schools and institutes of higher education.
