DR.. Mcclure, Father Ryan
Return From 6-Week
South American Tour

Still chilled to the bone by South
American weather but warmed to
the heart by new hopes Of inter-
American scholarly relations, two
Catholic University officials were
back in Washington today after a
six-week air tour that touched
nearly every great Latin American
center of learning.
They reported thai scholarly men
and women to the south of the
United States are loosening their
ancient academic alliance with
Europe and are ripe for new friend
ship with the universities of this
country.
Lack Research Facilities.
DR.. Martin R. p. Mcclure, dean of
Catholic University's graduate
school. and his companion, Father
Edwin Ryan, secretary of the In
stitute of Ibero- American Studies
SAID they found Soutr America bar
ren of research facilities for higher
advance in the natural and social
sciences and ready to depend upon
us to train her brilliant men.
Catholic University alone is now
arranging to provide scholarships
and Accommodations fOr more than a
score of Latin American students in
the graduate fields during the next
academic year, it was revealed.
These will come from such institu-
tions as the venerable University of
San Marcos, at Lima. founded nearly
century before the Pilgrims
jumped onto Plymouth Rock.
80 Below Over Andes.
To make arrangements, the two
professors flew by clipper from one
city to another. 1t was on Au-
gust 80 that they scared over the
Andes in windy temperature of
80 degrees below zero.
DR.. Mcclure said that he found
Catholics are best fitted among
United States educators to ap-
proach South American teachers
and students. The Spanish-speak-
ing and Portuguese-speaking popu-
lations are Catholic in their cul-
ture-and are pleasantly surprised
to learn that Catholicism exists in
this country, he said.
He pictured the Catholic Church
as a progressive force in the whole
of this hemisphere, supporting the
cause of democracy and independ-
ence in South America and bettering
the condition of workers.
