PRESIDENT MASARYK OF CZECHO-SLOVAKS FRIEND OF SHIMEK Father of University's Botany Professor Fought in the Revolution of 1848 IN HARMONY WITH U. S. Shimek Was Professor in University of Prague--Colleague of Masaryk President Masaryk, of the new republic of the Czecho-Slovaks, is a personal friend of Prof. Bohumil Shimek, head of the Botany department, and the latter has been deeply gratified at the well-earned recognition which has come to the great leader. Professor Shimek was exchange professor in the University of Prague, the oldest university in central Europe, in 1914, and while there he renewed his acquaintance with President Masaryk, then professor of philosophy in the same university. President Masaryk was for many years a member of the Austrian Parliament, and when the war offered an opportunity for the escape of his people from the injustices done them by the Austrian government, he left his family and all of his possessions to seek aid for them. Shimek a Patriotic Speaker Through the past year Professor Shimek has given many patriotic addresses, and he has also worked a great deal in the Czecho-Slovak movement. He is especially interested in this because his father was one of those many Czecho-Slovaks, who fought in the revolutionary war of 1848. After this war he came to America. Professor Shimek was born and raised in this country, and he, like many other Czecho-Slovaks or Bohemians, as they are also called, has no desire to go back to live in Europe, but he has a sentimental interest in helping his brothers across the sea. Professor Shimek emphasizes the fact that at no time in the work of the Bohemians here was there a single thing done that was not in perfect harmony with the interests of this country, nor was there any criminal propaganda carried on at any time. The political ideals of the Czecho-Slovaks are like those of this country and they are a most democratic people. Up to the present time they are the only European people who were released from bondage in this way, who has set up a stable, orderly, republican government. Helped Masaryk to go Back It was largely through the efforts of Professor Shimek and other patriotic men in the United States that President Masaryk was enabled to go back and establish the new republic. It is also interesting to know that at the same time that the Bohemians in this country were sending large sums of money to their fellow workers across the sea, they were far overscribing their quotas in buying liberty bonds, war savings stamps and other war activities. They also sent many men across the sea to fight for democracy. The establishment of a free Czecho-Slovak republic is doubly gratifying to Professor Shimek, not only because of the personal bond with President Masaryk and the other leaders, but because it is possible for him to assist at least in some degree in bringing about a realization of the hopes of his own father.
