An Italian by birth Professor
Professor Borgese is the author of many books in Italian, German and English in the fields of aesthetics, criticism, comparative literature and politics, both national and international.
Borgese was forced out of Italy in 1931 because of his refusal to take the Fascist oath. He came to the United States and became a citizen in 1938.
His works include "Goliath: The March of Fascism." "The City of Man" and "Common Cause." He is now writing three connected books, the first two entitled "Foundations of the World Republic" and "Hagia Sophia" (Sacred Wisdom).
'Uncle Jimmy' Painted Again
Campus police today held five KU youths for questioning about the affair. The statue was painted around 11:30 p.m., and the youths were picked up about 12:30 a.m., according to the police.
Dean of Men L. C. Woodruff was scheduled to question the youths today. Dean Woodruff said that details on the painting would be released later after he had talked to the students, but that "none of the five was in any way connected with the School of Engineering."
Dean Woodruff also intends to question the five about the paint-smearing on the Pioneer statue last Oct. 24. At that time vandals used gobs of a thick purple substance to cover the front of the Pioneer, located east of Fraser hall.
The statue of "Uncle Jimmy" was painted again Monday night in gay shades of green and cream.
Reports were that the Daily Kansas had committed the vandalism as a "publicity stunt" to try to stir up some interest in the coming Kansas State football game. But the reports were squashed by B. Skillman, G. Skillman, campus police chief, at that time, and the Kansan was cleared.
The current paint-smearing was done on the front and back of the Green statue, and spots were found also on the statue platform and surrounding sidewalk.
