Description

This reel is 3:34 minutes long and features:

  • Students and members of the International House program on a lawn outside
  • Students and guests in the interior of the original International House at a tea event
  • Dancing at a small party inside the original International House
  • Walking on the exterior grounds of the original International House
  • Singing and dancing a Mexican folk dance

It is possible some of these events were held in conjunction with the visit of Rene de Messieres, head of French cultural-relations services in the U.S., who came to campus and visited the International House on January 20, 1951, to observe the language program under Dr. James H. Jones's direction.
