NEW YORK, (GlobaD-We trust
it will not seem immodest if we
reminisce a little about our return
to our old Alma Mater, Brown
University to receive citation last
week. We hadn't been back there
to roam the campus since 1888
when our son entered school. We
found everything new. The foot
ball field where we played is gone,
and in the University now boasts a
new stadium, named in honor of
the late DR.. Fred Marvel who used
to be Athletic Director
We went to take look at our
old room-number 40 in Hope Col
lege Hall. We hardly knew the
place.. Modern electric fixtures
and plumbing h a d completely
changed it. Our old Chemistry
prefessor~Sa Arnold who is now
the Provost, took us to visit the
oil Chdemistry lab and then to see
the new one. What a difference
time has made.
