A-h-h-h Holidays!!!
By TONIE FLINT
Finally thoso long awaited holidays got here and all too soon
they're gone. Everyone (no exceptions) had a super-wonderful time
eating too much and sleeping late. There is an exception here. Helen
Barron got up every morning at G:30. Whyt I was so astounded I
forgot to ask. I guess it was quite a relief for Helen to get back
to school so she could get some sleep. At any rutc she didn't seem a
bit upset. Imagine 6 :30 a.m. 1
Thursday afternoon the campus was in a mad rush. Honking
cabs waiting express .trucks and bewildered mothers all stood by
while rushing students graouea tnose nisi remaining unngs. ouui
remarks as "Oh my shoes 1 I'll have to go back after them." "Won-
der what I left that I should have taken?" "Who borrowed my red
nlinnat" "Which one of vou uu.VH took my brown pants t" "Say
.inn'a lmt io vmi borrowed t" were heard echoing from hall to
hall. At long last the cab number wasn't busy the buses wercn t
overloaded all cars were gone and the halls had taken a deep breath
and settled back on their former foundations. Only a few students
were left and you could actually hear yourself talk. Ah-h peace.
We'll see what happened to pari
of the students thoso four wonder-
ful days. This Is the question that
was asked "How were the holidays
with you?"
Carol Brookis "Oh pretty good I
mean grand."
Ira Allen: "Wonderful! I went
fishing every day."
Mart Johnsom "Grand!"
Joyce Thompson! "Imagine! Eat-
ing every time you walked into the
kitchen."
Charlie Joneit "Fine but I spent
most of it working." (Charlie ex-
pects you to believe anything).
Gwen Tate: "They were grand. I
dreamed of Doyle constantly."
Dr. Rupert N. Richardson
Is Elected H-SU President
(Continued from page 1)
Doyle Cain: "They were grand. I
dreamed of Gwen constantly." (Not
repetition love).
Nelva Martin: "The most horrid
thing happened. I was In East Texas
and my little Jimmy was in Sweet-
water." Toppy Echoli: "Swell."
This could go on forever but I left
out part of every speech. They all
added "They (holidays) were just
too short."
Monday afternoon and Monday
night the students began to drift in
All looking tired all looking fatter
and all looking just a whole lot
happier.

June 1 1943 when Dr. W. It. White
resigned to become editorial secre-
tary of the Sunday School board of
the Southern Baptist Convention.
Dr. Richardson has been closely
associated with operation of the uni-
versity for 38 years working with
the late Dr. J. D. Sandcfcr during
the 32 years of the lattcr's presi-
dency. During he last illness of Dr.
Sandcfcr In 1038 1039 and 1040 Dr.
Richardson was executive vice-president
and for a short time before Dr.
White's appointment he was acting
president.
Mr. Foy chairman of the com
mittee which sought a president
said in asking board approval of
the recommendation for election of
Dr. Richardson that several large
colleges and universities have made
offers to the new president.
"Dr. Richardson has turned
down offers which would hare
brought him handsome financial
returns. He has remained loyal
to Hardin-Slmmons and has re
malned here" Mr. Foy said.
"He it ranked among the leading
educators of the nation and has
a reputation which has earned
him consideration for the presi-
dencies of many large state uni-
versities. Hardln-Simmons Is
extremely fortunato to be ablo to
keep him."
The vole for election was unani
mous.
Dr. Richardson came to what is
now Hardln-Simimons University In
1007 to enroll in the preparatory
academy of Simmons College and
in 1912 after five regular terms and
a summer school he was graduated
with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He
was considered an outstanding stu
dent winning his letter in the
weights on the track team serving
as president of the senior class par-
ticipating in activities of many so-
cieties and graduating as valedic-
torian of his class.
He returned to Stephens county
where he was born April 28 1801
and taught school near his home.
He served as principal of the Caddo
schools a year as principal of the
Cisco high school and a year as
principal of the Sweetwater high
school before returning to Simmons
as professor of history and social
sciences in 1017. He has been gone
from the university since only for
short terms to .work on graduate
degrees or to serve as visiting pro-
fessor in colleges of Texas and Okla-
homa. In 1914 he recoived a degree
of Bachelor of Philosophy at
the University of Chicago. In
1922 he was awarded a Master
of Arts degree at the University
of Texas and six years later he
received his Doctor of Philos-
ophy degree from the same
school.
Dr. Richardson is the son of the
late Willis Baker and Nannie Coon
Richardson. His mother was a
school teacher and taught him dur-
ing his early years when Stephens
county schools were open but three
or four months a year.
The mother was a student of
Henderson College when Dr. O. H.
Cooper was its president. She sent
her son Rupert to Simmons Col-
lege when he was ready so that
he too might be guided by Dr.
Cooper then president of Simmons.
It was because of this that Rupert
N. Richardson was among those on
the campus to welcome the new
president Jefferson Davis Sande-
fcr in 1000 when the latter started
his long service with the local
school. Dr. Richardson served in
1920 1027 and 1028 as dean of stu-
dents becoming vice-president in
the latter year a post he held until
he became executive vice-president
during the last illness of Dr. Sandc-
fcr. Dr. Richardson during World War
I received a commission as second
lieutenant In Infantry but did not
go overseas. He has served on the
staff of the University of Tbxns
seven summers and two long sessions
in the department of history.
He is a fellow in the Texas State
Historical association and a mem-
ber of the American Historical as-
sociation Mississippi Valley Histor
ical association Southwestern So-
cial Science association and the
Texas Philosophical society. He
served as president of the South
western Social Science association
in 1036-37. He is president of the
West Texas Historical association.
He is author of article in the
Southwestern Historical quar-
terly. Panhandle' Plains Histor-
ical Review the West Texas
Historical association and South-
western Social Science quarterly.
He is author of the "Comanche
Barrier" to the South Plains
settlement which is the story of
tho Comanche Indians.
In collaboration with C. C. Rister
of Oklahoma University he produced
"The Greater Southwest" which is
a discussion of the economic social
and cultural development of the
southwestern area from Kansas to
California since the Spanish conquest.
His latest book "Texas the Lone
Star State" published in 1043 tells
of the Texan as an individualist and
fighter. It came from the press as
thousands of soldiers from other
states visited Texas to train.
Dr. Richardson is past president
of the Abilene Lions club and is past
district governor. He also is a mem-
ber of the Masons.
He has been deacon of the First
Baptist church for upwards of 30
years is a Sunday school teacher
and is actively associated with re-
ligious life of the community. He
frequently fills Baptist pulpits in
West Texas and appears on pro-
grams of conventions encampments
and associations.
Dr. Richardson in 1915 was mar-
ried to Pauline Mayes native of
Eastland and 1912 graduate of Sim-
mons. Mrs. Richardson has been in
the department of French at Har-din-Simmons
since 1922. Their son
Rupert Jr. is teaching English and
history in Tuscola high school. He
recently was medically discharged
from the Army after serving in
North Africa and Italy.
Chinese ArHsi-
(Continucd from page 1)
sonally undertook teaching his
nephew the rudiments of art.
Then followed the second of the
four periods into which Professor
Chang has divided his life as an art-
ist. He completed his high school
education and entered college In
Shanghai where he learned the
foundation of painting. Believing
however that one must learn much
himself he spent much time study-
ing and copying other pictures and
learning about nature. His favorite
subject has always been flowers.
The third period of his art work
is that of teaching which he has
been doing for 20 years. A professor
of art at the National Central Unl
versity at Nanking he continued
learning observing the good points
in the composition and use of color
by his students and assisting1 them
with the weak ones.
His travels make up the fourth
and present period. Always inter
ested In new and different things
Professor Chang came to America
knowing almost no English. About
25 years before he had studied the
language a little as a part of his
high school education. For example
on board ship he saw the word
"lifeboat." He could remember what
"life" meant but couldn't imagine
what a "boat" was. So he got out
his dictionary and looked it up. To-
day although he still speaks with a
strong accent there is little diffi-
culty in understanding him and he
can understand the English of others.
Since hit arrival in America
Professor Chang hat been so
busy he has had no time to tee
any of the baseball or football
garnet for which America is fa-
mous. Instead he has kept busy
filling schedules for exhibits and
demonstrations of his work. His
art has been thown in many
parts of Canada and on both
the east and wett coasts of the
United States. He was sent here
by the Chinese government as
an ambassador of art.
In this country he has become only
too well acquainted with war-time
travel. He was in Los Angeles one
day with an exhibit scheduled for
San Diego. Upon going to the train
station he discovered that train
would be open only to servicemen.
No plane was available either.
Finally he managed to get a taxi
to take him the 120 miles to San
Diego. And of that trip which cost
him just $60 he can only say "We
went so fast it scared me."
Pearl S. Buck American novelist
who has written much of China and
the Chinese people and who saw his
work many years ago In an exhibit
at Nanking has said "There is con-
fidence in his paintings and calm
and resolution. But there is beauty
too something of the beauty of the
old China which still remains the
eternal soul of China's people."
