...just as important as the books and magazines are the day-by-day cables... from men like A.T. Steele of the Chicago Daily News, the N.Y. Times' Hallet Abend, and Tillman Durdin, and TIME's own T.H. White, who came via Harvard and the Chinese information ministry, and is now on the hot spot in Indo-China...

How Missionary Magee, the university professors and doctors and other missionaries thereafter fared, Timesman Durdin did not state nor did he indicate the prospects of the university and Ginling College at Japanese hands. Obviously, however, both would need their share, and probably more, of $300,000 which U.
