He was educated by his mother and a minister at Thayer until he entered high school. After high school, he attended the University and graduated with a major in Philosophy and a Phi Beta Kappa key.

L. E. Wolley, manager of the student book store, recently received a card from a man in Sedalia, Mo. bemoaning the lack of better and higher education in his state. The west of Missouri, he said, fare better.
Wants Education Higher But Freer
He said he had once had a good education and would like to review his college work. He requested obsolete, torn, dirty/ or misprinted texts and notebooks free of charge. It mattered not that the pages were torn out or the backs missing. Cards, paper, pens, pencils, office supplies, and a wood or metal filing cabinet or two would also be useful he said.
The parting statement of this potential scholarship was that if Mr. Woolley had no postal fund, the material could be sent C.O.D. Express was extensive. Exploit instructions on wrapping and tying were enclosed.
'Excuses Cover Scramble For Oil'
Stopping Communism and saving the Greek people are only excuses to cover the role of the United States in the world scramble for oil, Dr. Herman B. Chubb, professor of political science told the University club Friday.
Dr. Chubb said that he had been expressing these views before Henry Wallace made similar statements in Europe.
"I consider that Wallace showed bad judgement in using Europe as a sounding board." Dr. Chubb said. "However many of the things he said about the so-called Truman doctrine are true.
"We ae worried about our own oil reserves, which were depleted by the war. We are not trying to stop Russia because she is Communicistic, but because she is powerful. She is in a position to threaten our private oil interests in Iran and Saudi Arabia," he said.
Worried About Oil Reserves
If we do not control our oil interests, it will lead to war, he said and emphasized that it would be a quick one. Not even the geologists know how much oil is in this region, but oil is now the most important commodity in the world. Ark For Government Pine Line
"Our oil companies are opposed to any kind of government control, and yet they asked the government to allow the pipe line in the Near East," he said.
Dr. Chubb said that the United States made a mistake in by-passing the United Nations in giving aid to Greece and Turkey.
"We set up the machinery and then bypassed it. It was a tremendous loss to us, but the death toll is low to U.N.: The majority in U.N. would have backed us."

Teams To Europe

Can Work On Farms
live together cooperatively, worship together, work six or eight hours a day on a project with social significance, and learn about the problems of the surrounding community through lectures, discussions and field trips.
In the community service program volunteers lead recreation, conduct community surveys, and help to meet important community problems.
Students interested in agriculture can work on farms, cultivating and harvesting crops, and learn about such rural problems as tenancy, the uncertainty of farm income, and the poverty of rural educational and recreational opportunities.
Volunteers can give assistance to overseas relief programs this summer by helping prepare food and clothing for shipment in relief centers.
In addition to the above mentioned opportunities there are chances to work at hospitals and reformatories, as camp counselors, and in community centers. Mrs. Alford will answer any questions about any of the programs or projects and aid students in applying for a summer job.
