 Caen, Clermont, Dijon, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Mont-

Confining our attention to the teaching of Engineering, 

 the most important engineering schools of France are 

 here briefly mentioned. It is believed that each of 

 them will heartily co-operate in any effort tending to 

 facilitate the enrollment of foreign students by remov- 

 ing the obstacles which in the past have stood in the way. 

 The entrance requirements for foreign students here 

 mentioned are those in force before the War. It 

 is not unlikely that, in some instances at least, they 

 may be materially modified. 



Ecole Poly technique (Paris). This ancient and famous 

 institution does not confer engineering degrees, but gives 

 instruction preparatory only to professional studies in 

 engineering or in military science. 



The fact that one hundred and twenty-three of its 

 graduates have become members of the Institute of 

 France testifies to the broadness and excellence of its 

 teaching. Of these, eight have become members of 

 the Academic Francaise (the list includes DE FREYCINET, 

 POINCARE, Marcel PREVOST) ; ninety-six, members of the 

 Academic des Sciences (including ARAGO, Elie DE BEAU- 

 MONT, CAUCHY, GAY-LUSSAC, DULONG, A. C. BECQUEREL, 

 H. BECQUEREL, REGNAULT, LE CHATELIER, MICHEL 

 LEVY,DE LAPPARENT); seven, members of the Academic 

 des Sciences Morales et Politiques; nine, members of 

 the Academic des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres; and 

 three, members of the Academic des Beaux Arts. Among 

 other illustrious graduates of the Ecole Polytechnique 

 the following may be cited: Auguste LE COMTE, SADI- 

 CARNOT, Admiral COURBET, General DE MIRIBEL, Haton 

 DE LA GOUPILLIERE. The School offers a two-year
