Hampton Teacher To Visit Poland

Hampton, Va., A Hampton Institute faculty member will spend the next academic year as a visiting professor at the University of Warsaw, Poland, in what is believed to be the first such full-time assignment undertaken by an American educator since the ending of World War II dropped the Iron Curtain.

Before going to Poland, Dr. Hugh M. Gloster, chairman of Hampton Institute's department of languages and literature and director of the college's summer sessions, will spend two months in Tanganyika, Africa, as an American Specialist.

Dr. Gloster is scheduled to leave this country for Paris on July 1. From there he will fly to Dar es Salaam, capital city of the east African country, to begin a series of lectures on American literature. He has also been requested by the U.S. office of Cultural Exchange to give information on the organization of English programs in American colleges, especially the teaching of English.

The Hampton professor plans to travel through North Africa and South Europe on his way to Warsaw, arriving there October 1 under the sponsorship of the U.S. office of Educational Exchange.
