IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our beloved daugh.
ter and niece,
ELENA VALDEZ
who departed from this life August
26, 1885.
We cannot say and will not say
That she is dead, she is just away
With cherry smile and a wave Of
the hand, ........
She has wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since she fingers
there.
And we - o! we feel the widest
yearn
For the old-time step and the glad
return.
Think of her faring on-as dear in
the love of there,
AS the love of here.
Think of her still as the same, we
say:
She is not dead - she is just away.

The present construction is to

at this weeks meeting of the Faculty
Club.
His having been a missionary in
China hts having travelled through
The country and become
ith Chinese OF every
- - every economic level, and
his familiarity with the language has
qualified him exceptionally well to
speak on his subject. Yet he made no
pretense to knowing "the answer. !"
He emphasized the intricacy Of the
Chinese problem and the elements in
Chinese history and geography and
resources, and in the Chinese charac-
ter, which make it difficult for people
Of an entirely different civilization,
like ours, to understand the problem.
Mr.. Poteat said that Communism
does not seem to him the menace to
China that it seems to many other
people. He said that Communism de-
pended mainly for its success upon
I'd great estates that could be con-
fiscated and split up into small farms
for distribution among the peasants
and upon (2) an industrial prole-
tariat. Great estates in China consti-
tute negligible proportion of the
