the power to protect our freedom, without which there can be no hb- eral education. The University, whatever the educational disadvan- tages, will have to adjust itself to its effects upon the training of youth"
 Dr. Seymour, an authority on modern European history and a member of the American commls- sion to negotiate peace att he con- clusion of World War I, said that settlement of outstanding issues with the British was the first ocndi- ton of durable peace as well as the security of American interests, 2 when the present conflict ends.
 "Only thus," he sair, "can we pro- ceed to the further necessity of jointly meeting and settling our political and economic relations with the Soviet government, in order that the three greatest powers may be in accord as they face the gen. eral problems that touch the well fare of all the peoples of the world. Steps have been taken to establish a security organization and to study monetary problems. It is just as important to prepare plans to settle conflicting trade issues, shipping policies, interna- tional air navigation, tariff barrieds, the international position of the smalelr powers"
 The educator reiterated his belief that the accelerated course of sctudy now in effect in universities and col- leges, necessitated by the war, is not consonant with the best education heightened citizenship in peacetin1e.
 More than ever," he said, i've are convinced of the education values that zoe with course of study that includes leisure for understanding and for matNring the students themselves, as described by a col- lege master, are enough in earnest in their longing for the best fruits of a liberal education to agree with their elders on the faculty that such fruit riens but slowly and is not to be snatched fro mthe bough by a youngster running past at full speed"
 As to the future, Dr. Seymour warned of the increasing tendency to turn the university into Q gen. eral service station ready to answer any hurry call from the outside world. Our first obligation is to scholarship and to liberal education of our students, and therein lies our vital contribution to society,""
 He said that Yale disagreed with demands to revolutionize the uni- versity by stressing utility sub- jects." and said i've propose to maintain a general course of study calculated to produce humane char acteristics."

and Russians and RumanlanS, uO- gether with American air power, were also fighting Germans.
 A few days after the equalization news came to the hospital that a party of Americans had stopped in the next street. It. Col. Fagarasano scribbled note and sent it out to them by an orderly.
 They were still there-an automo- bile party of American military and naval officers, enroute from newly liberated Bucharest to bomb-shat- tered Ploesti on an inspection tour.
 They came to the hospital. Col. Rodriguez, one of the Americans, talked with Sgt. Tierney, gave him all the American cigarettes they had with them, and left.
 The next day two medical officers, Capt. Julius Levine, and Capt. Rich ard F. Kuhn, came to the hospital with the new drug! Fagarasano was overjoyed.
 The two medical officers had been sent word at their Flying Fortress bomber base in Italy, where they are flight surgeons; they had pack ed special equipment and had flown to the aid of Sgt. Tierney. Intensive treatment with penicn- lin was given Tieney the next three weeks. During this time Captains Levine and Kuhn gave their own blood for transfusions for the young flyer.
 Tierney received excellent care at the hospital. He received at least one package of cigarettes day. He had god food. The doctors and nurses were kind.
 Meanwhile American airmen were bombing Ploesti, which was only IA miles from the hospital. Tierney Sweated out these attacks which were rtying on the nerves. One day three American planes crashed near the hospital.
 Many flyers - mostly Americans, some British - were making crash landings and parachute drops after being shot down from the skies. They were taken prisoner. All in all 1t was an exciting period and Tierney, naturally was much inter ested in the plight of his fellow flyers who encountered tough luck over the area.
 After the Russian army liberated Bucharest, it was decided to close the Puchenii hospital. On October 1, a month after all other American airmen and other Allied prisoners had been evacuated from Rumania, Tierney was moved to a Russian hospital in Bucharest. Tierney says he was treated exceptionally well there. The Russians had modern equipment and used their facilities generously.
 Sgt. Tierney by now was respond ing "magically" to the penictlltn and the special efforts of all con- cerned. Finally his condition iIn- proved sufficiently to allow his transfer by air to Italy. A Gen. erals plane was obtained for this purpose.
 And Tierney, in c body cast, was driven to the airport in Q Russian ambulance on october Il. and raised into the plane through the radio hatch. The flight to Italy was smooth. An American ambulance was waiting ct the base in Italy and he was driven at once to an Amer lcan hospital. where today he is be- ing given the very best of care.
 The doctors and nursee-in fact everybody in the hospital-like this polite, modest Rochester youth and are pulling" for the day when he will Do able to head for home and see the folks, including his baby son.
