Desire For Freedom Led Professor To America
--because these nations have changed, not Spain."

Professor Ricart has spent most of his life in countries that were engaged in either civil war or World War II. He was born and educated in Spain and is a native of Barcelona. During World War II he lectured and taught in England and in 1947 he was invited to come to the United States to lecture on Spanish mystics of the 16th century. He came to the University in 1948.
"When the Republic was proclaimed in Spain, the people thought it was a unique opportunity to practice all their ideas for the betterment of Spain, not only in political freedom, but in education and social improvement. But then the civil war came."
Mr. Ricart said he felt he had to be loyal to the legal government during the war and he remained in Spain doing what he could to help the people through assistance offered by some English Quakers and American relief.
"In the war my wife and I lost every thing, but gained a daughter. We adopted an orphan of the war from Toledo, and she has been a great source of happiness during our exile. She is now in England attending school, but we hope to bring her to the United States shortly," Mr.Ricart said.
Weddings And Engagements
The American people seem much different than they are portrayed in the movies which are shown in Europe and I am thankful of it, Mr. Ricart concluded.
