PAGE FOUR THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Saturday, April 19, 1919 SOLDIERS' LETTERS March 16th, 1919. My dear professor: Your letter of February 15th arrived just in good time as I left my former station for England, on the night of the date of your letter's arrival. Today, I am in London and have paid a visit to the Inns of Court, walked through Chancery Lane and the Strand. I will be here until June 30th attending lectures in law at Lincoln'ss Inn. Two thousand men were sent from the A.E.F. to universities ni England and I was lucky enough to be one of the numbeer. Besides this, I also had the good fortune to be assigned to the Inns of Court as a student. When at Ioa, listening to you speak of the Inns of Court, I never dreamed that I should ever be there to attend lectures. The war has made many strange twists of fortune. I was certaintly glad to hear from you and of Iowa, and I hope that you will find time to write again. Former President MacLean is here in London with the University Union. I was able to see him while I was in Liverpool awaiting my assignment, but was unable to speak to him. He is at the head of the committee which secured places for soldiers of the A.E.F. in the English schools. I hope that the Jubilee is a success and that, from now on, it will be an annual event at Iowa. I know that all of the "pioneers" in the movement feel as I do. Tell Mr. Goodrich that I am tackling his subjects, "Torts" and "Commercial Paper." I don't know just what else I will have as I shall not have my schedule made out for a few days yet. I received an Alumnus recently for which, I believe, I owe thanks to the Dean. Will you please tender my thanks to him. Also my regards to the faculty. Sincerely yours, Sergeant Milton F. Fields, British University Detachment A.E.F. Grafton Hotel, Tottingham Road, London England TRACK MEET SATURDAY Yearling Track Men Will Compete With Varsity Saturday afternoon the freshmen track men will get their first taste of college competition when they compete with the varsity squad in a freshman-varsity meet. With part of the regular team at the Drake relays, the yearlings will not have as stenuous competition as they would have if all the varsity men were present. The meet will be run off at 2 o'clock in the same manner as an intercollegiate contest. Freshmen who desire to enter the meet should give their name to either Coach Jones or Dutton before that time. The Economics Seminar met Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock at the home of Professor E.W. Wassam, 325 south Lucas street. Prof. H.L. Reitz, the new head of the mathematics department, gave the paper. Lee A. White, of the Detroit News was a guest of the club. REAL FRENCH OFFICER THRILLS GIRLS' HEARTS Yesterday a real French officer visited the University and produced thrills in feminine hearts. He wore the classy French blue, he had an adorable mustache and carried a swagger stick in a fashion thoroughly fetching. This is all a reporter could learn about him; he was very modest and kept his overcoat buttoned so as to conceal all croix de guerre and similar decorations which he may have worn. Lieut. Keith J. Stuckey is the name of this dashing Frenchman. It was not a terrible jolt to find that he is not a Frencman by birth. He is a native of Cedar Rapids and went over with an American ambulance unit in 1917. Later he entered the Red Cross service and last year in June enlisted in the French army. He is a guest of G. Harold Rigler. PROF. B. SHMEK ON GARDENS "This weather is excellent for the spring gardens but a little hard on the rheumatic people' is the statement of Prof. B. Shimek of the department of Botany. He said that the continued dampness had been a boon to the spring gardens and to the fruit trees as it prevented an early start and thus saved them from the frosts. Although the rains have caused a late start many people have their vegetables planted and are growing rapidly. Let's overscribe our quota. PRACTICE FOR CANOE RACE Expert Canoeists Getting in Trim for First Race From Mid-River Canoe experts are already grooming themselves for the race down from Mid-river which will be staged sometime during the latter part of May. The tripe xtends over a course about 25 miles in length, and it will be neccesary to portage the canoes around some of the obstructions upstream. Just what time will be made is hard to estiamte as nothing like this has been attempted before. Some think it will nto take over three hours but others are more conservative in their estimates. The Park bridge has been chosen as the finishing point and some of the contestants are certaint o come down the last stretech with but few lengths between them. The Eels club is particularly interested in making this an annual affair, and hopes in the future to make it a recognized classic before other universities. Already several schools have made inquiry as to the nature of the event and what rules will govern it. As yet nothing has been definitely decided but all probability the rules will require the participants to pass swimming tests before entry. Alpha Delta Pi held initiation Wednesday evening. Mrs. O.H.
