“...spent four weeks in Malaysia and Singapore. It was wonderful being able to return to Chefoo and then to catch up with many local friends. In true style I was well fed!

Two years later he transferred to Yale, had a year in the Coast Artillery in World War I and took his degree in 1920. At Yale he continued his omnivorous reading, turned out plays and came under the influence of Professor William Lyons Phelps, the distinguished teacher. Said the professor of his student,...”
