A native oi France, Miss LeFee was born in Montlucon, an indus- trial city at about 60,000, Miss LeFee obtained a “License. d’anglals" degree in 1963. The Li- cenSe-d'zlnglais qualifies her as an English teacher in any French sec- ondary school. Although compari- sons are awkward, the License— (le'anglais is roughly equivalent in an American MA. degree. Though she carries a typical Iohour class schedule at Grinnell, most at the courses are taken as "audits.” The system oi higher education in France is completely diiierent irom that ol the 11.5. Secondary school students graduate one or two years later than in America, and are presented with degrees or slightly less value than the Ameri— Inlernational Education in New York. She Wanted a job whlch would allow her to make instruc- ‘tinllal use at her knowledge at French as well as enabling her to travel in a loreign land.

Iowa College, at Grin-j neil, has been a great lorce in Iowa. The prospect that it will make a larger growth and ex- tend its influence is one to be met with general acclaim in this state, The college was born rlgi and has lived right, It has‘ been not only one oi the best or educational institutions but, a lorce ior righteousness in liv-‘ ing and in politics. Always there‘ has been “something different” about the school. It has created a term in educational circles “t h e Grinnell atmosphere”, in the l positrons, microns, nutrinos, alpha particles, beta particles,i and. . and. . l “And gamma rays." “Yeah. You just go on and on making more and more, It never stops! What have you got then?" . a War?” , “This iS a real philosophical, probleml Look what you've got‘ —notning but surface!” , ”N0, there's still the Same volume.” “Oh. Really? Still, but who about all those little particles ii mean, they get smaller an smaller, and if you ever couldl really cut ’em down to nothing; what would you have, man?. How do you get volume out 0 nothing? I mean that’s practir, cally what you‘ve got with alll to attend state university, and the1 resultant overcrowded conditions are currently hindering education ' at this level. Miss LeFee'S tenure at Grlnnell was arranged by the Institute at Last summer, the 25-year-old English major went on a three- week bus tour which carried her lrhrough Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans, and other points in the Deep South, The l.I.E, made it ,posslble for her often to stay with ‘lamllies living in the areas she ;visited. This was an opportunity or extreme interest, ior she dIS- covered the people to be congenial ,antl outspoken, with a variety 0! attitudes toward the many Comm- versial issues existing in the South. This summer Miss LeFee plans another llE. Greyhound tour to New England and areas oi iha Eastern United States. This five- week trip will be complemented later by a six-week junket through New Orleans to the West coast and Northwest. When America is finally left be- hind, Miss LeFee’s future offers numerous opportunities, either abroad again or in France, She may remain at home and study for her Ph,D,, or She may Seek employment as a teacher or as a translator in some lndustrlal field. though she claims to be undecided. Another lit Miss LeFee‘s firm preierences concerns big cities. She has become used to life in these areas and feels that Gl‘lnnell and similarly isolated Institutions may be slighting their students. A Certain "dreamrqualily" of delach< maul exists, She believes, at a iscllool located “on the plains." “Although I have many view- points which I’ve changed since icomulg to Grinnell,” she explains, ‘thls Is one I still maintain.” Learn Degree.
