Jean Reid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Reid of Gilbert, Ariz., formerly of .Saline, is in London, England. A graduate student at Eastern Michigan'
University, she is enrolled in an English literature study session arranged by
Eastern at the University of Birmingham in England. The 21 students in the
group are studying the reaction of writers of the Romantic period to the social
changes of their time, the various protests against industrialism among Victor-;
ian writers, and the effects of industrial changes on present-day writers. They
also are attending the "entire season of Shakespearean plays produced at Strat-
ford-on-Avon. The group will return to the United States on August 18.
