LETTER FROM EGYPT A day was spent-on the Blue Dan­ ube, which b y the way is a misnomer. Assiut College, The Ohio Riven at Cincinnati on a Assiut/, Egypt, spring day looks clean in comparison. September 26, 1928- The Danube scenery is hard to beat, however. This took us to Linz, from Whence w e again hopped a train through Czecdio-slavakia, hound fo r Berlin. Berlin Is a peach o f a city and npte of sual ■eat hqfce or' there fo r the m i l fourth year o f work in this valley o f the Nile in the environment o f the most interesting ancient civilization that has existed. The present year arm o f service expired last year. I finds m y relation a bit changed as re­ gards the College o f Ass'iut, since my Was asked to remain an extra year md assume the duties o f five Head o f the English Department, in the Col­ lege. ' Since I am on the spot, I have actually stalled upon the duties o f mi<l position and am finding the work quite interesting in its responsibili­ ties. Incidentally, the English depart­ ment is the largest one in the College us all students o f our enrollment o f some seven hundred boys are required Dy Govermehtal orders to study, at must eight hours o f English each week,. The teaching o f English i* like the teaching o f a foreign lang­ uage e!, home and all the work is done m the direct method of teaching. To orenk in the five new men, who are tm our staff o f English teachers is proving a-fascinating task. They have brought new life and pep to our group. Such renewal o f zip is essential for one soon takes on the attitude and feelings o f the Orient as regards be­ ing overly ambitious in activities in this country where one hundred de­ grees in the shade is Considered a rather low temperature. The sixty fourth year o f our Col­ lege started off with a hang some three weeks ago. Student competi­ tion is growing keener and keener each year and more schools are being established around us each. year. In spite o f all this our enrollment is the best it has been fo r several years. It Will soon hit the seven hundred mark, One o f the assets o f being a pro­ fessor in Assiut College is the oppor­ tunity o f travel afforded, each Bum­ mer. Bummer, a year 'ago, found me yaunting about through Asia Minor nnd' along' the coast o f the Levant, through Turkey, the Balkans and then settling in Switzerland fo r it time. Bummer before last was utilized in * trip up the Nile through Central Africa into Abyssinia. This past Summer which was to be my last one ipent in Europe Was used in wander­ ing about Northern Europe. My traveling companion was Simon Vellenga, A fellow teacher who halls from Bellefontaine, Ohio, but who graduated from Monmouth College, Illinois, Our goal was to get to Scot­ land and this we did. As a means to an end we shipped across to Piraeus, Greece, and there gave the Acropolis, Parthenon and the. first Olympic ted ium , the once over. From Athens we #*v» two perfectly good days o f our lives to a train ride through Greece, Jugo-slavia, Hungary and on to Vienna, Austria. Raving reposed fo r fifty two hour* on the hard oakefi benches o f a third etas* Balkan train, we rested our weary sitting portion* for a few days in Vienna* We chartered a boat from Hamhurg- aorosa ih e Morfh^Sea. to fo r the boat was am overgrown wash- tub, and Shook, accordingly, on the rough and stormy North Sea. It was So cold that we thought we had gone out in search fo r Amundsen and his. party, before we hit Leith. The grandeur ,o f the natural beauty o f Scotland is appreciated only by those who haVe seen it and the Scot­ tish poets. ,■We followed the ride of Tom O'Shanter on his Grey Mare thru the Burns Country and over the *Twa Brig1 near the Doone. “ The Lady of The Lake” through which I struggled in High School was made realistic as we took stagecoach down in the Tros- sachs that connect Loch Achray with Lock Katrine, avid then wondered out to Ellen's Isle. A week spent in Glass- gow with Mr. and Mrs, Herbert (Formerly Miss Bertha Collins) re­ vealed to Us Scottish life and Scottish History in a way not obtained by the ordinary tourist. v c The Royal Scott conveyed us at neck-break speed from .Glassgow to London. It traverses nearly the en­ tire length o f the iBles in this journey without a stop. Having stayed in Great Britain as long as our transit Visa allowed, i t behooved us to get out the fastest way possible. We did, for we flew, Three hours to cross the Channel to Ostend, over Belgium, a stop at Rotterdam on account o f plane trouble, into a new plane and on to Amsterdam. Sitting three thousand feet in the air above the apparent placid waters o f the English Channel, (They’re never placid) we wrote let­ ters and read a New- York Herald, which w e had purchased in London at noon, and which had been printed in Paris in the morning, “about the Cin­ cinnati Reds beating the Giants the previous day. How is that fo r speed ? Yes we were going’ better than one hundred miles per hour* Ih Amsterdam we were privileged to watch the athletes o f Uncle Sam romp over tho#e o f the rest o f the world in the Olympic games. We lost many o f the track events, hut only one excuse is acceptable. The other coun­ tries had better runners than did Uncle Sam. We sat within twenty yards o f the straight-away o f the track and took in the races for six days, which culminated in the Mara­ thon race o f twenty six miles on the final day. BarbUtti, o f the United States, who won the 400 meter race by a final lunge fo r the tape redeemed some o f the lost territory by our athletes. To see Nurmi pace Ritoloaf Finland fo r ten thousand meters and then edge him out in the last ten meters was a thrill never to b* fo r­ gotten. The stadium seated about forty thousand and was erected fo r the special occasion.

He is dis­ tinguished as the only German com­ batant who was officially honored by the American Legion and wined and dined in England by the -very men he so amusingly outwitted during the ■ war. He is tfo aristocrat, who as a youth ran away to become a common sailor abroad windjammers in the merchant marines o f the United States, Eng­ land and other countries* He is .the only man Who had risen from a sailor’s bunk to become a high offi­ cer o f the Imperial German Navy, , A „ rough-and-ready character^ noted’ for direct action, sulphurous language and hearty humor, he tell* am, an)az-r inggtory In his breeziest manner* What, trick apparatus the.

The ship was fitted up in . art atmosphere o f mystery in the ‘ German Naval_ Yards and the very .secrecy surrounding .the remodeling of the boat into a trick ship almost caused the arrest o f von Luckner by the German-Intelligence Department. His thrilling story o f adventure, spy work and Comic opera-exploits on the Seven Seas is a graphic and tremen­ dously interesting story. Freshies Break Up Sophomore Feed The College Sophoirtore class laid elaborate plans for a feed at the cliffs west o f town last Thursday evening. Much like events of that kind it fell ta the lot o f the* Freshman class to spoil the arrangements if possible. As a penalty the Sophomores captured a number o f tlie Freshhies and gave thein country rides With the* choice o f walking back. Most o f them were taken to unknown spots on side roads and dropped out. The Freshman girl# bad the penalty o f a shorter ride but with shoes and stocking removed, had to “ bare-foot” it back to town.
