Crosses Atlantic Five Times To Take Mundelein Degree Cosmopolite of the junior class is Edythe Williams, 21-year-old Ameri can girl who enrolled at Mundelein in September 1933. and who has crossed the ocean five times in her desire to complete her education in the United States. Daughter ol T. W. Williams, Philco radio executive who was transferred from Chicago to London in 1934, Miss Williams sailed for England after her first semester here, and returned in February of the following year. She crossed to England again in June 1935. with a round-trip ticket in suring her return to the United States and to Mundelein in September. The following summer she toured the Continent, and, in the fall, attended school in Switzerland. She spent the summer of 1937 traveling in the Bri tish Isles and in France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. In September, 1937, she enrolled at the University of London, and on New Year's Eve she started across the Atlantic again, stopped over briefly in New York, and is now established in the residence hall. Although Miss Williams finds life in London interesting and exciting, she prefers Rome to any of the European cities she has visited. We went down into the Catacombs, she remarked, with a monk as our guide. It was very interesting, but a little eerie, especially since we all car ried tapers. We went to the Coli seum in glaring sunlight and I was so thrilled I could scarcely speak. It has been one of my life-long dreams just to sit in the Coliseum and think, and I did. Miss Williams visited the Vatican and St. Peter's, the art galleries in Florence, the Cathedral of Milan, which is her favorite of the Gothic cathedrals, the Riviera, and the Paris Exposi tion. She also attended the Coronation, and, with her lather, wrote a descrip tion brochure about it for her Ameri can friends. A journalism major, she is writing a series of articles for the Skyscraper on her impressions of life abroad.
