In our golf foursone. baat Friday at the Lawrence Country Club, with

Saturday morning, Sept. 8, we were very pleasantly surprised, in our office
here in Robinson Gymasiun, by a call. from Major Paul Randall Harrington. Major
Paul played on three of Kansas Varsity Champion basketball teams in the years '32,
"33, and '34, lle also won letters in track, tossing the javelin in a winning way.
Dr. Paul, still has the winsomeness and the personality that made him one of the most
popular men on lit. Oread. He captained the Jayhawkers in basketball in his senior
year. Dr. Paul was stationed in England, France, and Germany, and he has seen a lot

* of service. His speciality is orthopedics and when he came through Saturday, he was
making a thousand nile trip to the Gulf, and coast states with a viow of establishing

his practice at somo seaside location. He has gone nautical in a big way. Paul
ssid, "The seaside breozes for me, with a nice gach¥e" Se, Paul, we are putting in
our kid for a eruiso with you when you are established. Don't-forget the priority

At any moment we. are expecting thereturn of Colonel Lyle S,. Powell, who

is returning after four years service in. India with the Chinese forees. -I think I
am correct on Dr. Powell's service location and his years of tenure. Col. Powell
is a veteran of two World Wars, and he has done outstanding research service for
this nation and for others. Another Lawrence~Physician is Dr. Powell, who had made
& great contribution.
