Safari Leaves to Study Backward Bushmen

Six members of an African safari are leaving for the Dark Continent this week. The group includes two members of the Class of '55, a Cambridge family, and a junior fellow.

They plan to travel to the desert country to study a tribe still living in the stone age manner. The bushmen do no farming, have no domestic animals, and no metal tools.

Technicolor, sound movies will be made of the expedition. The Peabody Museum is sponsoring the trip.

Safari members are Laurence K. Marshall; his wife, daughter and son, John K. '55; Cary McIntosh '55 of New York; and Robert Dyson, recently appointed a junior fellow. The group hopes to return in September.

The expedition will work in close co-operation with the South African government.
