One Of the greatest difficulties expert
enced by a foreign student is arrang-
ing his entrance credits. If his certiii-
Gates are in foreign language he
should be provided with a translation
signed by consul of the country TO
which he desires to come, or by some
other official whose translation the uni
versity will recognize. Where this can
not be done the offices of the interna-
tional students organizations may be
able to adjust the difficulty.

Clubs of the United States and Canada
and the Liga de los Estudiantes of South
America were all to a certain extent in
is the parent body in a sense, and the
terms Corda Fratres and students fed
erations are synonymous to many people.
To it is due the international spirit which
has now developed in most student or
CARNATIONS.
The idea of an international organiza-
ton of students was suggested at an edu-
cational congress held in Paris in 1891
before the first peace congress at The
Hague. 1t was discussed with interest,
but no action taken. The organization
to be known as Corda Fratres, for the
purpose of uniting all students of every
race in bond OF unity and helpfulneSs,
was founded at Turin May 70 after
an impassioned appeal by DR.. Elfiso Gig
lio-Tos, president of the Turin University
Association. 4 few days later it was
solemnly proclaimed from the Forum in
Rome. The Italians were responsible for
the founding of Corda Fratres and have
also been most active in forwarding it's
work.
The Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs
is American organization, largely
brought about by the number of foreign
students in our universities although it
is composed chiefly of American stu
dents. 1t was organized at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin in 1903. It's object is

The international Federation
OF Students.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

With the reopening of the universities
for the scholastic year comes the en-
rolment of nearly 5000 students from
other countries, who are coming TO the
United States to secure some educational
advantage not provided in their own
land. At least half this number of
American students will be in attend
ance upon European institutions in pur-
suit of broader education than their
own country provides for them. The in
creasing number of students in foreign
lands is becoming so important that uni
versities in all countries are planning
special courses calculated to meet the
needs of the foreign members of it's
classes. At least 25.OOO students of the
world are now acquiring advanced edu
cation in foreign lands.
The International Federation of Stu
dents is the largest student organization
in the world and its ties have been much
strengthened by the students attending
institutions in foreign countries. At the
the eighth annual congress, held last
month in Ithaca. nearly 100 universities
and colleges located in twenty seven
countries were represented. Through its
affiliations the federation embraces every
important students club or organiza-
ton in the world. 1t is claimed that
fully half million students are in this
way connected by fraternal bonds. Fol-
lowing the congress a number of foreign
delegates remained in this country to
enjoy a three-week tour as the guests
of several university organiZatio Their
presence is now adding TO the interest
of numerous social events connected with
the opening of the school year. The con-
gress was held in Cornell University. and
the Cornell Chapter of the Association of
Cosmopolitan Clubs was the chief host,
but the entire association, as we'll as 9TH
er students organizations, contributed
literally toward making it, as it was,
the federation. Plans for a worlds in
ternational students congress to be held
at the Panama exposition in San Fran
cisco are now being considered.

the educational world than any other All
students have the one common bond of a
desire to learn however varied may be
the subjects of learning sought for. The
universities of Europe have ten times as
many foreign students as come to this
country. Each carries to his university
back 10 his own land UNNECESSARILY more
than he has gained from contact with
other races. The federation helps him
not only to acquire the special knowledge
of which he came in quest. but it also
gives him the opportunity to broaden
along many other lines by the develop
ment of what Nicholas Murray Butler
terms the international mind"
The international movement extends
not only to students but to the uni
versities themselves as IS being dem
sors between one country and another.
Columbia and Harvard universities now
have exchanges with Berlin, and Har-
ward exchanges with Paris. The Uni
University of California. The University
OF Wisconsin is this year arranging to
have a German university professor visit
her each alternate year. and other ex-
changes are in contemplation. Each eX-
change of this kind is marked by an in
the other country who are admitted TO
each university.
The Federation OF Students fosters the
work of all organizations designed to

Association is responsible for bringing a
large number of students from Norway,
Sweden and Denmark to study in Ameri-
can universities and technical schools.

THE RED SQUIRREL.

He Is a True American, With All tho
& National Traits.
If the red squirrels do not have an
actual game Of tag they have some
thing so near it that cannot tell the
difference, writes John Burroughs in
Harper's Magazine. Just now l see one
in hot pursuit Of another on the stone
wall. Both are apparently going at the
top Of their speed. They make q red
streak over the dark gray stones.
When the pursuer seems to overtake
the pursued and becomes 'it' the
race is reversed, and away they go to
the back track with the same tleetness
OF the hunter and the hunted until
things are reversed again. l have seen
them engaged in the same game in
tree tops, each one having his innings
by turn.
The gray squirrel comes and goes,
but the red squirrel we have always
with US. He will live where the gray
will sturve. He is a true American.
He has nearly all the national traits
nervous energy. quickness, resource
~fulness, pertness, not to say i%mpudence
and conccit. He is not altogether love-
ly or blameless. He makes war on the
chipmunk. He is a robber of birds
nests and is destructive Of the orchard
fruits. Nearly every mans hand Is
against him, yet he thrives, and long
may he continue to do so!
