People Who Studied Abroad #153:Ida M. Tarbell, investigative journalist From: United States Studied: From 1891 to 1894, she studied at the Sorbonne (France) and worked as a freelance writer. “Those who know the Sorbonne will tell you they have been going there for years. It is the amusement of their lives. I have had individuals pointed out to me who have taken their degrees in the Sorbonne and never left. Having small incomes, they stay on, enamored of the life, lost to the world. In winter a pathetic part of the Sorbonne audience is made up of shabby genteel persons, who follow the lectures to keep warm.”
