After seeing the picture of sons and daughters of alumni in The Maine Alumnus a graduate wrote an inspiring letter to the Editor. His letter follows: ------------■, Mass. Mr Editor. The picture of alumni sons and daughters in The Alumnus arouses me more than anything that has come out of Maine in years. After I graduated from the University, the succeeding college generations did not interest me much. They seemed to be strangers in the halls that had been mine. They didn’t know me when I returned to them, and I did not know them. Perhaps I even felt resentful in a way that they had taken over what I considered mine. My loyalty to Maine may not have slipped, but my interest certainly has lagged. But these youngsters are the flesh and blood of my old gang and I am mighty glad that they have come back home. I feel again that I am a part of their family. There must be many like myself who, when they saw this picture, must have wondered if there wasn't more that they could do to make our Maine a better and finer home for these who are actually our own and their friends and pals of today to live in. I am proud to be of the family, and I shall try to do all I can. The Memorial Union Building will provide that better and finer home. M A I IiN E c .

Outlining the “geography of segregation” in Maine, he describes the resistance to fair housing and the means by which the NAACP documented civil-rights viola­ tions, drafted legislation, built coalitions of concerned black and white citizens, and advanced the “moral and ethical responsibility ” of all Mainers to work for fair housing legislation.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

Some such building is actual, not analogous: there’s a fourth year student building a tiny house in the parking lot; another is rebuilding the battery terminals for our electric van; we just built a bed on wheels and placed third in the Bar Harbor Bed Races.

COMPLETE DIRECTIONS FOR USING ALL THE LATEST TOOLS, ATTACHMENTS AND DEVICES FOR WATCHMAKERS AND JEWELERS BY HENRY G. ABBOTT ILLUSTRATED WITH 288 ENGRAVINGS C HidAGO: Ge&. K. Hazlitt & Co., PUPUSHBIIS, Copyrighted 1898, by Geo. K. Hazlitt & Co. PREFACE. THE first edition of this work was published in 1893 and met with an unexpected and unprecedented sale, and a second edition was placed upon the market in less than ten months. So much new matter was added that it was found necessary to reset the entire work in smaller type in order to keep the volume within the price at which it was originally placed on the market. It is the first and only book, of which the author has any knowledge, which illustrates and describes modern American tools for the watchmaker and jeweler. The ambitious workman is always in search of knowl- edge, in search of new ideas, new tools and new methods. Patient study, constant practice and ambition are requisite to become pro- ficient in any art. The demand for skilled workmen is constantly increasing, and a person wishing to thoroughly master any art, must be to a certain extent capable of self instruction. To be proficient in any art a man must not be deft of touch alone, but the head must also play its part.

While I present this notion with tongue in cheek, it’s an idea that seems relevant to the story of Bates College scholar Sagaree Sengupta, who is featured in this issue. She certainly sees herself in that role, and rightly so. Though no missionary, Sagaree is nonetheless on a mission for the Council. She drives hundreds of miles across Maine to share with library patrons the surprises and delights of literature from South Asia. This is not a genre that most A LETTER people in Maine have much occasion to encounter, yet through our Let’s Talk About It program, they can visit—at a cost of only some time spent reading—cultures FROM THE that may be at once new and reassuringly familiar.
