Description
This series consists of material documenting a 1917 mission to France made by Education Commissioner John H. Finley. The Board of Regents commissioned Dr. Finley to make the trip in order to observe the way French universities and schools bore the exigencies of war, dealt with the mobilization of students, and aided national war service. The records include a journal, correspondence, copies of addresses (by Finley and others), newspaper clippings, pamphlets, notes (especially background information on French universities), and photographs.
