Alumni Touchdown Club Sparks Football Spirit

FOOTBALL enthusiasm is running high on the campusthi fall; there is a greatl improved spirit among under­graduates, alumni, and friends of the niversity, and theteam morale has shown a noticeable lift this year as are ult. ( ee football story, Page 15).

Much of this is due to the activities of the newly­organized Alumni Touchdown Club, sparked by BillBlackmon, '35, chairman, and a committee composed ofPete Bleyler, '29, Al Brewer, '40, Charles "Dink" Erdle,'33, Lowell MacMillan, '28, Bob Stewart, '34, Bob Tucker,'40, and Gordon Waasdorp, '35.

Eating with members of the team in Todd Union duringpre-season training, turning out to watch practice, encour­aging attendance of alumni at home games-and, addinggreatly to the rekindled interest, joining lustily in the col­lege cheers and singing-are among the ways the Touch­down Club has taken to show the Varsity that the alumniare strongly behind the team.

good-sized group of alumni had dinner with the teamand coaches on September 11, at which Alumni SecretaryPeter J. Prozeller, '37, Bill Blackmon, and others told theplayers of the Touchdown Club's plans to promote interestin and support of football at Rochester. The gridders wereplainly pleased with these assurances, and the coachingstaff reported that the team spirit rose markedly in suc­ceeding workouts. One of the objects of the plan is tointerest good high school players who meet University's~cholastic and athletic standards in coming to Rochester.

On a larger scale was the Alumni Kickoff Dinner oneptember 25 in Todd Union, promoted by the club mem­

bers just before the opening Clarkson game on September27, which drew a good attendance of alumni and under­graduates to give the football squad a rousing sendoff onthe 1947 campaign. Assistant Coach Johnny Sullivan, '23,whose football career at Rochester as player and coachco ers a span of twenty-five years, was the principal speak­er, and guests included Coach Elmer Burnham, AssistantCoach Tim Stapleton, Director of Athletics Lou Alexander,and others on the athletic staff.

Another event was the Alumni Homecoming on theoccasion of the Tufts game on October 18, with a specialprogram to mark the weekend.

The Touchdown Club also is making arrangements fora Dad's Day on November 1, when Rensselaer will playthe Rivermen at the River Campus. Fathers of all the play­ers were to be invited to attend with a luncheon in theirhonor in Todd nion, and special seats assigned to themat the game.

On November 20, the Alumni Touchdown Dinner willbe held in Todd Union, at which it is expected that alarge number of grads will turn out to honor the footballteam. On this occasion, the Touchdown Club will makesome new awards to the players.

In that connection, a series of special enterprises hasbeen arranged to keep interest in the team high. One isan alumni award to the "player of the week," given eachTuesday night at the weekly showing in Todd Union ofmovies of the preceding game. The Rochester player whoin the opinion of the Touchdown Club committee has giventhe best performance in each game is given an award anda cake, or cider and doughnuts, and acts as host to histeammates in distributing the refreshments.

At the end of the season, the club will present specialawards to all members of the freshmen and Varsity squadswho have remained on the job throughout, whether ornot they get in a game.

The limp-and-liniment season begins officially on

Wednesday evening, ovember 5.

That is to say, the first Alumni Gymnite of the

year will be held that night. Whether your class is

'17 or '37, come on out and have some fun and

exercise. There was a consistently good turnout last

year. Let's have an even better one this year!

Dr. RylandM. Kendrick Diesat80Dr. Ryland M. Kendrick, '89, professor emeritus of Greekand member of the University faculty for forty-five yearsuntil his retirement in 1937, died at his home, 1520 Port­land Ave., Rochester, on September 27.

The beloved philosopher and scholar who had endearedhimself to generations of undergraduates was 80 yearsold. He had been in good health until stricken with theheart attack which preceded his death.

His faculty posts included instructor in Latin andGreek and Munro Professor of Greek.

The dean, in point of service, of retired University pro­fessors, Dr. Kendrick had actively carried on his classicalstudies and had been a frequent, and over considerableperiods, a daily visitor at the niversity library.

He had assembled a large collection of notes which hehad hoped to incorporate into a text covering "GreekMaster Thoughts," a course which he originated at theUniversity more than forty years ago and which heclaimed was the first of its kind taught anywhere.

Dr. Kendrick, whose son, Nathaniel C. Kendrick, isdean of Bowdoin Colleg6, Brunswick, Me., was the son ofAsahel Clark Kendrick, a member of the original niver­sity faculty and one of the group of educators who cameto Rochester from Madison (now Colgate) University tofound a new seat of learning in Western ew York in1850. The father was professor of Greek language andliterature and Munro professor at the University from1850 to 1895.

Besides his son, he is survived by a daughter, Mrs.Alling M. Clements of the Portland Avenue address, andthree grandchildren.

Father, Son, Great-Grandad ...100 Years of University History

The trio shown above covers a span of 100 years in theniversity's history. It shows DeHart G. Scrantom, J r., of

Maplewood, . J., Class of 1951, with his father, DeHartG. Scrantom, Sr., Class of 1911, looking at a portrait inRhees Library of Gen. Isaac Quinby, great-grandfather ofDeHart, Jr., who joined the University's first faculty in1851, and taught mathematics and natural philosophyuntil 1884.

Scrantom, Sr., accompanied his son to Rochester forthe opening of Freshman Week on September 18. Theirancestor, General Quinby, was a member of the buildingcommittee for historic Anderson Hall, dedicated on 0­

vember 23, 1861, 86 years ago this Fall. When the CivilWar broke out, he recruited a regiment which includedmany University students. Professor Quinby was madecolonel, later accepting the appointment of brigadier gen­eral in the United States Army. He returned to his dutiesat the niversity in 1863.

l

n merlcan Lool(s at Japan Two Year

BY E ERSO CHAPI, '41

Emerson Chapin is a civilian employe with the Civil Information and

Education Section, U. '. Army, stationed in Japan with his wife, the

former Ruth Hudak, '45. The opinions he expresses are his own, shared,

he says, hy Mrs. Chapin, and are based on his experiences and hi read­

ing of publications written hy and for the Japanese. He acknowledges

that others may disagree strongly with his view on the Japanese and

that there rna}' be some basis for such divergence of opinions.

Later

year ago, when I was getting ready to come to Japanagain, a number of friends asked me: "Why do you wantto go back to Japan? Why would anyone want to go toJapan?" It was difficult to give a comprehensive answerat that time; now, a year later, I would like to try to ex­plain, , ith a little more confidence, some of the things Ibelieve I have learned a a result of coming to Japan.

During the, ar all of us were exposed to much propa­ganda about the Japanese. There was basis in truth fororne of this; there can be no denying that atrocities of

the worst sort were committed. At the same time, there canbe no denying that the United States pressed a vigorouspropaganda campaign to excite the fighting spirit of heroldiers and the people at home against a dangerous

enemy. We all saw the movies in :which the buck-toothed,vicious J ap aviator snarled as he threw his plane into apower dive against the helpless American parachutist; weread of fiendish foot troops raping and plundering, weaw the caricatures of the apish little men swinging through

the tree . These were effecti e devices to a nation engagedin a bitter war.

ow the war is over; and sen ible people know that ifthe world is to have peace, it must have friendship amongnation and peoples. There can be no place for racialprejudices. There is no doubt that the American attitudeof uperiority over the peoples of the Orient, given ex­pression in the Oriental exclusion act, provided muchmaterial for Japanese militarists seeking to arouse a war­like spirit in their own nation. The Japanese, underAmerican occupation, have had opportunity to learn thatthe Americans are not the beasts they were painted byJapanese propagandists; it remains for the Americanpeople at home to learn that all Japanese are not theviciou little yellow monsters they appeared to be in war­time.

When I went home from Japan after Army service, Ihocked friends by telling them that I liked most of the

Japane e people I knew. I till shock persons at home bywriting to them that among the best friends my wife andI have in Japan are former Japanese fliers, some of themactually kamikaze pilots. There is no one in Japan who

was not mobilized to fight off the Americans in the la tdesperate battle; and we are living among people whoonly a hort time ago were dedicated to killing us at theprobable cost of their own lives. Mrs. Chiyo Takeyama,a sweet and charming woman who now works in my office,had hours of drill with a sharpened bamboo pole in prep­aration for the American invasion.

A year in Japan has taught me, I believe, that I shouldnot hate blindly for this reason, nor for the reason thatthe Japanese are small and yellow. The Japanese love oftheir country is strong, as is that of Americans, and whentheir nation went to war the people threw themselves intoit wholeheartedly. Misled and misguided, the people foughta brave war to the best of their ability. For love of theircountry they would have fought to the very end; defeated,the majority of the people have come to realize that theywere mistaken and wrong. Though there is much differ­ence of opinion concerning this, there is no question butthat the informational and reeducational program of theOccupation has had much success in reaching and influ­encing the Japanese.

ow I have had the opportunity to learn thing thatwere not in the newspapers in wartime. Mr. Stanley, whoused to work down the hall from me, was a prisoner inthe Philippines; when he came to Tokyo to work for thearmy his assistant and respected friend was his formerprison camp commander. A number of Japanese prisonguards were acquitted on all charges recently when theirformer prisoners testified that the guards had treated themas well as possible under existing conditions. A Japanesewar widow and her children are being supported by fundssent from America by a former officer who owed his lifeto the kindness of the woman's husband, when the Amer­ican was imprisoned in the Philippines. Internees in J apan­ese pri on camps received, in many cases, extra rations offood beyond that which the Japanese themselves had ­which still was not sufficient to sustain a Caucasian. Whenpeople tell me: "I hate the J ap ," I like to tell them abouta midwestern American boy who fought through some ofthe most bitter battles of the Pacific war as a arineinterpreter. Several weeks ago he married a Japanese girl,

5

with whom he has been in love for a year. I think it issignificant that the American troops who fought the warand were the first to enter Japan were the most respectedand liked by the J apane e because they had learned themeaning of suffering and sacrifice and were glad to havethe fighting over; the kids who came later, imbued withthe idea that the war was still to be fought and revengestill to be inflicted, have not been so happy nor so wellreceived in Japan. I am not attempting to assert or implthat all Japanese are good or blameless, but to argue thatthere are both good and bad. and that they should bejudged as individuals, not by their race.

Life in Japan is fascinating, if you want it to be. TheAmericans have the best of facilities and a variety ofopportunities. Like out-of-towners visiting the big city,the Americans have swarmed over Japan, seeing the sightswhich Japanese who have lived all their lives nearby havefailed to see. With travel made easy by special Alliedtrains (whose only discomfort is the shortened berth builtto accommodate the small Japanese physical structure),Hudi (my wife) and I have journeyed north and souththrough the main islands. We have visited china factories,movie studios, schools and colleges, sailed the Inland Sea,seen the emperor proclaim the new constitution, andclimbed Mt. Fuji (where, at the sixth station, we encoun­tered Floyd Bliven,' 42, whom I hadn't seen for six years.) .

There are many inconveniences, of course. The Japanesehave suffered tremendous destruction, and no thinkingAmerican should complain of inconveniences which areunavoidable because of war damage. Even the best offacilities, commandeered for Occupation personnel, sufferfrequently from failures of worn out equipment and short­ages of material. There are also many aggravations, someof which are less easy to bear. Japanese public servantshave never been considered public "servants" heretofore,and, still accustomed to think of themselves as representa­tives of the Government and the Emperor, are often in­clined to disregard the welfare of the persons dependentupon them; hence if the electric repair man wants to re­pair something, he shuts off the current and does it, re­gardless of the protests of the people left with a half­cooked meal (a principal cooking instrument in Japantoday is the hot-plate) ; the Japanese bus driver often feelsthat he is doing his duty if he covers his route, whether ornot he stops to pick up any passengers.

It is possible to pick out a million things that are strangeand funny to us, unacquainted with Japanese culture; andit is too bad that in many cases our newspapers and news­reels prefer to do this entirely, without attempting to give,at the same time, a more balanced picture of the problemsof an industrious, unfortunate, confused and cruelly pun­ished people, the majority of whom are trying to correcttheir mistakes and to rebuild their country.

The Japanese are in a period of :r:noral confusion; their

6

standard have been destroyed and new ones have not yetbeen thoroughly absorbed. One Japanese writer can de­clare: "We feel the defeat keenly, now that the fighting isover, and we find that our people, who were consideredmen of honor, have become servile and seek only selfishgain." Another writer urges that Japan learn from herhard experiences. "We must search through these hard­ships and glean as many lessons as we can, both for our­selves and for posterity. This is the duty of those who livethrough such a period. Our experiences are too costly tobe lost, for we paid dearly for them. We paid for themin hunger and tears."

But I think the most sincere and simple expression ofwhat a Japanese little person feels-that I have seen waa letter written by a rural schoolteacher to an Americanofficer at Christmas, 1945.

"Christmas is near. You will be waiting for Merry Christ­mas. To girls and teachers here the winter holidays arecoming. During the holidays we will work in the fields tomake our vegetable , go to the hill to pick up wood for fuel,and have a little enjoyment in ew Year. It is to be thehappie t time for Japanese. Bllt it will be a long time beforeall the people can equally enjoy a true happy ew Year.

Japan is now on the bottom, and miserable as you know.I weep not because we were defeated, but because we werenot right. We are also ashamed for Japanese cruelties. Youand your friends treat us as friends, but I feel myself in­ferior to you because of them. Cruelty is not in the natureof the Japanese. It came from the reason that militarismled the nation's education in the wrong way. Even now it haleft its footprint in some part of the education or the teach­ers' minds. But our ideas are changing gradually and thegreat reformation is going on in Japan with the help of yourcountry. It was better for Japane e to be defeated, for Japanshould be defeated, I think.

"Generally speaking, in Japan women and lower peopledid not have any interests about politics before the war. Webelieved only the government and the emperor and obeyedtheir commands. ow the defeat has given me many Ie ­sons. I am trying to solve many problems by my own hands."

The old saying that a penny saved is a pennyearned has been amply borne out by the Class of1907. Away back in 1912, at its fifth reunion, theclass raised $175 to buy furniture for the dormitoryon the old campus. The money was put in the bank,and for ome now obscure reason, never used. Re­cently a member of the class recalled that the fundwas still languishing in the bank. Investigation re­vealed that interest accumulated during the pastthirty-five years had increased the original sum toabout 470.

Members of the class have contributed enough tobring the fund to $500, which has been turned overto the Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Full-Time Registration at University Sets Record

Men's College Enrollment 1,340

PACED BY the Men's College, where upwards of 1,340students are registered, the University's various divisionsset another enrollment record this year.

Tentative figures indicate a total registration of approxi­mately 4,000 full-time students, plus some 1,560 part-timestudents in University School of Liberal and AppliedStudies.

Exact figures were not available when this issue of theReview went to press, but a preliminary check showed thefollowing approximate enrollment of full-time students:

Men's College, 1,340; Women's College, 660; Graduatechool, 425; School of Medicine and Dentistry, 265;

Eastman School of Music, 435; University School, 670;School of Nursing, 256.

Another large group consists of special and preparatorystudents in the Eastman School, numbering about 1,200.These bring the total of full-time and part-time studentsof all ages participating in the University's wide range ofeducational offerings to around 6,900.

The number of undergraduates at the Men's College isnearly 130 more than last year's peak registration of 1,217.About 80 are attending classes at Madison High SchoolAnnex, opened in September, 1946, to help meet the heavyvolume of applications to the College. The experimentproved so successful that it was decided to continue itagain this year. Made possible by the co-operation of theRochester Board of Education, the Madison program pro­vides the same freshman work as that given at the RiverCampus. Of the 99 freshmen who attended classes atMadison last year, 76 have been accepted as sophomoresat the River Campus.

Evidence that the flood of veterans' applications foradmission to college may have reached its peak is givenin the fact that a majority of this year's freshman class atthe Men's College consists of non-veterans. Last year, 70per cent of the class was composed of veterans. Of theentire Men's College student body, about 925 are veterans.

More than 12,000 inquiries and applications for admis­sion to the Men's College this September were receivedduring the year and upwards of 1,200 were given per­sonal interviews.

In addition to approximately 340 freshmen, the enteringgroup at the Men's College includes 44 former Universityof Rochester students resuming their college education,most of them after serving in the armed forces; 19 menformerly enrolled in the avy V-12 program or NROTCunit at Rochester; 77 entering the University with ad-

vanced standing, and three Navy reserve officers selectedfor the regular avy who will be given up to two years ofcollege study under the Holloway plan.

At the Women's College, final enrollment figures wereexpected to show about 690 students, including a fresh­man class <?f around 185, as compared with 656 under­graduate women last year.

A total of 38 additions and replacements on the faculty,effective this September, were made, mostly in the Collegeof Arts and Science, to handle the heavy teaching load,and 15 members of the faculty have received promotions.(See Faculty Notes, Page 19.)

Entering students at the University this Fall come fromevery part of the country, including such distant points asCalifornia, Idaho, Montana, and Arkansas, as well as fromNew England, the South, and the Middle West. The pro­portion of out-of-town to local students is constantly in­creasing. One man at the River Campus is from Stavanger,

orway. He is Einar Winther Leverson, who is attendingthe Men's College on a one-year Rotary Club scholarship,and is studying business administration.

REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

LOS ANGELES

Alumnre and alumni in the Los Angeles area have or­ganized a new and lively chapter on the West Coast. Inrecent years the number of Rochester graduates in thatarea has increased to such an extent that a large nucleusis now available for an organization.

Evidence of the enthusiasm shown by these alumni wasapparent by the attendance at the first dinner meeting ofthe group in nearly a decade, held on Monday, July 7,at the University Club. Dr. Kathrine Koller, chairman ofthe Department of English, was guest speaker. Dr. Kollerhad been spending the summer doing research at theHuntington Library in San Marino.

For the first time, alumni in the San Francisco areamet this summer for a luncheon on Monday, July 14, torenew acquaintances with each other and to learn whathas been happening back on campus since their gradua­tion.

Rochester Wins Three Games~ Loses One On Gridiron

Clarl(son~ Union~ Tufts Fall to Burnham~s Men

AROCHESTER eleven that showed power, alert co-ordi­nation and team spirit of a high order was unveiled in theopening game against Clarkson on September 27, whichthe Rivermen won handily 19-0. Especially notable wasthe smooth-working ground attack that clicked expertlyin the hands of one of the best lines Rochester has hadin some years.

The next Saturday, Rochester triumphed over Union,18-13, but did better than the close score indicates, gain­ing fifteen downs to four for Union, and netting 262 yardsrushing to 118 for the opponents. The game movies in­dicated that except for a couple of close decisions by theofficials, the Rochester score might have been higher bytwo more touchdowns. The following week, Union de­feated highly-rated University of Vermont 20-7.

On October 11 at Greencastle, Ind., however, the Roch­ester victory train was rudely derailed by underdog De­Pauw University, which had lost both its previous gamesthis season by large margins. The Tigers snatched a 13-12victory in a second-half rally as a result of Rochester'sfailure to make its points after touchdown, a weaknessthat was evident in its first two games.

But when Homecoming Day rolled around a week later,the varsity trimmed favored Tufts 14-0, outplaying themin every phase of the game.

A crowd estimated at 7,000 saw Rochester pile upthirteen first downs to Tufts' four and gain 128 yardsfrom rushing against the opponent's 54. In the only pre­vious meeting of the teams, in 1904, Rochester also won,16-5.

There are nineteen 1946 letter winners on the URsquad, and the first team is composed almost entirely ofplayers from this group. A notable exception is Harry0' eill, six-foot-two, 207-pound tackle, who was on thefreshman team in 1942, transferred to Syracuse last Fallafter military service, and returned to Rochester as aUniversity School student last January, transferring tothe Men's College in September. At Syracuse, he was onthe 'varsity squad, and with his size and ability, is oneof Rochester's best gridiron assets. He won the AlumniTouchdown Club's "Player of the Week" award for hisplaying in the Union game, in which his line-crashing,blocking of two Union punts and recovery of one, werehighlights.

The previous week's winner of the Touchdown Clubaward was Jack Welter, 137-pound sophomore quarter­back from Bayonne, N. J., who intercepted a Clarkson

pass on the Engineer's thirty-yard line and ran for atouchdown, and whose punting and field generalship wereoutstanding. (For further details on the Touchdown Club,see Page 1.)

This year's line averages 195 pounds. The usual start­ing lineup includes Chuck Gray, 215-pound, six-foot-fivesenior, and Carl Wren, 200-pound sophomore, at ends;O'Neill and Bob Whitney, 200 pounds, another sopho­more, at tackles; Co-Capt. Bob Branigan, 190-poundjunior, and Bob Madden, 175-pound sophomore, atguards, and Tom Hoffman, 190-pound sophomore, at cen­ter. Among the reserve linemen are Sheldon Phillips, 208,Joe Cally, 220, Ed Exner, 210, tackles; Dick Bowllan,172, Tony Liotta, 190, guards; Ronald Kraftschik, 193,Bob Smith, 190, Don Stocking, 165, and Clark Wacker­man, 170, ends; Ralph Henty, 175, and Tom Lodato,186, centers.

The regular backfield is comprised of Welter at quar­terba~k, alternating with Warren Zimmer; Dick Garnishat right half, and Dick Eden at left half, and Howie Hoe­sterey and Co-capt. Frank Walter alternating at fullback.Bobby Murphy, senior who was slated for a regular berthat half, was injured in pre-season practice and did notplay in the first three games. Other good halfbacks areFrank Howd, a newcomer to the team, who has an ex­ceptional flair as a passer and Roger Moore, both sopho­mores, and Peter Woodams and Don Beattie, juniors.

Injuries to regulars Dean Becker, end, and Dick Ro­vegno, guard, before the opening game dimmed the brightfootball outlook, but Coach Burnham found able replace­ments for these holes in Chuck Gray, converted fromtackle, and Bob Madden. Becker and Rovegno are likelyto be off the squad for the rest of the season.

The presence of a large number of sophomores andjuniors on the squad is a good augury for next season.These, together with members of the JV and freshmansquad who will be candidates for the team next yearshould provide a sizable group of experienced playersfor the 1948 gridiron campaign.

This Fall found the largest number of football candi­dates out for practice in many years. A total of 130, in­cluding the Varsity squad, the JV and freshman squadsturned out.

The complete football schedule is as follows:

Home games, September 27, Clarkson (19-0); October18, Tufts; November 1, Rensselaer; November 8, Ver­mont; November 15, Hobart; out-of-town games, Oc-

tober 4, nion at Schenectad (18-13); October 11, De­Pauw at Greencastle, Ind. (12-13); October 25, Hamiltonat Clinton.

Basketball Team To PlayTwelve Games at River Campus

ROCHESTER'S basketball season opens on December 6at the River Campus Palestra against Sampson College,with twelve home games and four road engagements onthe schedule that will conclude with the Hamilton gameat Rochester on March 6.

Colgate, Case, Princeton and Harvard are on the calen­dar for games at the Palestra during the Christmas seasonfrom December 20 through January 3 to provide someoutstanding home court attractions for the holidays. Twogames each are scheduled with Hobart and Alfred, andone each with the rest of the opponents on this year's list.

The graduation of Co-captains Dick Baroody andJohnny Baynes last June leaves Coach Lou Alexander withno stars around which to build the 1947·48 bask_etballteam. Baroody was the playmaker and Baynes the clevershot artist who were prime factors in the success of lastyear's aggregation that chalked up twelve wins in seven­teen games and set new scoring records for Rochester.

Of last year's regulars, Ken Flowerday, Jim Blumer,forwards, and eil Alexander, center, are expected to beavailable, along with Chuck Gray, towering center, DickGarnish, Jack Fleckenstein, Bob Mohlar, and MikeFedoryshyn, who won letters as reserves.

MEANDERINGS

Our Far-Flung Alumni Department:R men and women are making news

in many distant parts of the globe,di patches reaching the Review show.

Dr. Alvah Strong Miller, '07, iscredited with a major part in helpingChina in its ceaseless struggle againstdisea e. Largely through his efforts,the VI RRA-sponsored ational Wu­han niversity School of Medicinewa opened in August, bringing thepromi. e of modern medical science toCentral China, where the war had in­ten ified the already acute need fortrained doctors.

Dr. Miller, who served inthe U. S. Army MedicalCorps in W orIdWar I, joinedU RRA in December, 1945.Promptly sent to China, hefound medical conditionschaotic, according to newsreports, with virtually noho pital facilities for thenation's 400 million people.Medical schools had beenabandoned, their facultiescattered, and medical sup­

ply factories razed. The fewforeign-trained doctors left

knew little of the medicaldevelopments of the lastdecade, such as sulfa drugs,penicillin, and other ad­vances.At Hankow, where he was first

assigned, he found the city, onceknown as the "Chicago of China," inruins, but across the Yangtze River,he discovered that the buildings of

ational ~Tuhan University had beenspared. Realizing the great benefit amedical chool could be to CentralChina, he enlisted the support of theWuhan' president, Dr. S. R. Chow,a close friend of Generalissimo Chi­ang Kai-Shek, and obtained what helphe could from the V RRA and theChinese government.

With the aid of six nursesand technicians, Dr. Millerand UNRRA began a limitedtraining program teachingeverything from X-ray tomidwifery. During the sum­nler of this year, the pro­gram was broadened so thatthe Wuhan Medical Schoolwas ahle to open its doors tostudents, and Dr. Miller su­pervised the school's firstsession.From Greece, the Review received

a letter from Michael (Mickey) Mav·rides, '32, who attended Rochester asa foreign exchange student and wonmany friends on the campus. Afteryears of fighting with the Greek army,during which he served from 1940until 1945 in several countries, helooks back on his college days atRochester with keen nostalgia, andasks to he remembered to all hisfriends here. His letter indicates thathis experiences of the war and post­war years have been a nightmare tohim, but that he looks to the futurewith hope as the Greek reconstructionprogram, with American aid, getsunder way.

In 1941, when the Ger­mans overran his country,Mickey followed the retreat­ing Greek forces, travelingonly at night, and goingfrom island to island in theAegean Sea, until he reachedCrete. Later, he was with theGreek army in Palestine,Syria, the western desert,Cyrenecia, and Italy. Afterthe war he worked for ashort time as an interpreterin U RRA, and later as datarecorder in a surveyingparty, but in recent months,

17

weakened by starvation, hehas had a difficult time.He finally obtained work as a dish­

washer in a restaurant. "There wasplenty of food," he writes "and I ateand ate until I could hold no more."His spirits have improved as a conse­quence, and, he ·writes, "I have verygood hopes for the future; in fact, Iexpect to obtain a good positionsoon." Mickey would like very muchto hear from some of his Rochesterclassmates. His address is 9 ewSphera, Lamia, Pthiodida, Greece.

This is easier than taking ca":1dy away from a baby. And less squawking.Maybe you don't want to be rich, but just force yourself. ¥ou'll like it.And, if we like the title you write for this cartoon we'll force ourself to giveyou $5. Or if you send us your own cartoon idea we'll up it to $10. For acartoon that you draw yourself, we'J] float a loan and send you $15 if weprint it. Could yJU ex?ect a:lY more? Yes, you could expect.

A fam us sage has said that people aref~Illljcr than anybody. If that were true,all you'd have to do would be listen towhat the kiddies are saying, write it down,send it in, and we'd buy it. If that weretrue. It might be, for all we know. Wehaven't the slightest idea what we'l1 ac-

cept. Chances are it would be things likethese unless we get some sense.
