`Daddy' Groff Working Miracles
On Lingnan University Campus
If the barren wastes of inland China
are verdant Gardens of Eden when
next you ylsit that ancient land, you
can credit the miracle largely to the
efforts of "Daddy" Groff 'O7, Dean
of the School of Agriculture at Ling
nan University, Canton, China.
Groff, after twenty-five years of
service at Lingnan, is now in Florida,
collecting trees and plants suitable
for introduction into China. In Flor
ida, which has a climate similar to
that of China, he hopes , to find living
plant material that can be propagat
ed and shipped to improve the flora
there.
One of the principal accomplish
ments has been the introduction of
numerous plants and vegetables,
chiefly to guard against the periodic
ravages of famine that sweep the
over-populated cohntry. One feature
has been the introduction of the Ha
waiian papaya, excellent as a food
plant, although never used before.
This - fruit, somewhat like the banana,
is gaining popularity as a table . fruit.
Another contribution has been the
Siam banana, an attractive and nu
tritious variety which is spreading
widely. The spread of the eucalyptus
tree has been noteworthy, since there
were only two or three trees of 'that
Frear Given Fellowship
For Parliament Study
Mary R. Frear, instructor in his
tory, arts and science extension,' has
been awarded a research fellowship
by the American Association of Uni
versity Women. The awards were
made by a committee of eight women
scholars of which Emilie J. Hutchin
son of Barnard. College is chairman.
Miss Frear received her fellowship
for a study of the personnel of the
House of Commons in the Long Par
liament and an analysis of the social,
economic and political background of
its leaders.
CENTER
genus, in .China ten years ago. Now
a, survey undertaken by the govern
ment reveals that there are over 10,-
000,000 of this species in the prov
ince. The Chinese admire the tree
especially because it is disease resist
ing and because it is an excellent
source of firewood, important in a
country so barren of both plant life
and easily attained minerals.
The avocado, or alligator pear, of
South America and Mexico, has prov
ed.saceessful on the Lingnan campus,
and .now awaits the opportunity for
the collection and testing of suitable
varieties. The high food value of this
plant makes it desirable for the coun
try.
'Other plants being introdumid are
several varieties of lemons, oranges,
and the pummels. The University
also possesses one of the finest col
lections Of bamboo in eastern Asia.
All these plants serve as a nucleus
for propagation and distribution
work, but many new.and raroidanti
Must also be' introduced.
' "Daddy" theft's work .at-Lingnan
has been , aided .materially from : the
beginning in 1908 by the contribu
tions of to Sunday morning chapel,
and is one of the oldest traditions of
the campus.
