John H. Finley '25, Eliot Professor of Greek Literature, said that he would like "to spend more time in the Classics Department." Finley will continue lecturing in Humanities 2 when the course resumes in 1960, but Bullitt is not sure whether he will return.

"Then as I stepped off the plane, one little girl took me by the hand and talked to me in her Indian language. I could tell she wanted to be friends." The Amueshas, it turned out. were peaceful sun worshipers-their only word for the sun is "our father"-who took to the idea of school enthusiastically.
