Sirs: ... I first met Dr. Cook when he came back from the Pole, and I have known and associated with him very intimately ever since then. I am not exaggerating when I say I know him better than any other person alive. In 1915 we were on an eight-months' trip to climb Mt. Everest. Permission being refused by the British, we went to the jungles of Borneo to do anthropological work on the so-called wild man of Borneo. During these eight months, we were together practically every minute of the time-night and day. Our principal topic...
Sirs: ... I may be able to throw some light on Dr. Frederick A. Cook's efforts to prove that his tour to the North Pole was on the up and up [TIME, March 30]. . . . In 1926 I was a newshawk on the Fort Worth Record-Telegram when Roald Amundsen, ace of the cold weather explorers, came to that city to deliver a lecture.

...enough to cover tuition and residence in the college dormitories. To manage his roundup, President Valentine engaged Frederick Lawson Hovde, a fellow Rhodes Scholar, who will hold an appointment in the chemistry department, spend most of his time sounding preparatory school masters for material, interviewing scholarship candidates. An ardent pole-vaulter, All-Conference quarterback when he went to University of Minnesota in 1925-29, Frederick Hovde was the third U. S. citizen to win his "full blue" by playing rugby for Oxford against Cambridge. The second U. S. "full blue" is President Valentine. Before Frederick Hovde goes to Rochester from...
