Physician of Lingnan University
To Visit Campus Over Week-end
Dr. ll'illiam W: Cadbury, physician
at Lingnan University, Canton, China,
wilt be a visitor and speaker on the
campus today, tomorrow, and Sunday.
China, according to Dr. Cadtan7,
accepts modern henefactOrs with the
philosophy that. "We are not a peo
ple with merely a 'glorious past but
one in whom that past is still surg
ing, throbbing, and necking avenues
ofs expression."
' Twenty-seven years ago Dr. Cud
bury went to China as medical
at' Lingnan. Ile developed the in
firmary into n splendid institution. Ile
took western' medical practice and
~cures into the lives of half a Million
people on Ilonam Island, a mere speck
on the map of the world.
During the past years of China's
intetnal disturbances' and the "shun
nine of western culture, Dr : Cadbury
found that the Chinese believed in
western medicine , nk something that
China cannot do' without.
The Chinese have assisted in Dr.
Cildbury's work, especially General
Lei link Lam, commander.of the fifth
!corps of the Nationalist' Army, who
raised $1:3,000 to extend the hospi
tal's service to the villagers and army
veterans.
Dr. Cadbury was active in taking

tion of its kind in South China, and

putting it under the administration of
Lingnan University. Ile introduced
vaccination to combat smallpox for
the helpless multitudes of that area.
Cadbury also introduced the system
of having trained nurses pay periodic
visits to Chinese homes in an attempt
to raise the health standards of the
people;
Dr. Cadbury, has b&teme acquainted
with the Chinese, not only . through
the healing of their illness, but he has
adopted a Chinese boy and given him
the name of "Bobby" Cadbury. Ev
ery effort is being made by the doc
tor to educate and train the boy for
the continued enlightenment of his
own peopie.
Dr. Cadbury's record of long years
of experience and contact with Chi
nese life and custom will give authen
ticity to his interpretations of mod
ern Chinese problems.
' While visiting the campus, Dr. Cud
bury will address the pre-medical stu
dents at 7:10 p. nt. tonight in 110,
Home Economics building. Tomorrow

Wonderful!
Most of the men in the orchestra
have been with Kindler since the or

There is no particular reason for the
large proportion of young men in the
organization. "I try to get good men,
young and old, but I find that to the
young men the music means more.
Playing in the orchestra 'isn't *just
another jot; they want to play for
the playing itself."

The novelty of having five orches

creased tunny fold by the fact that
the catch-line, "Battle of Music," is

will be cluing for the limelight and
the praise of being the hest band to
play at the Red Cross-Valentine dance
to be held in Recreation hall Friday
night.
The maestros of the five campus
bands have gone all the way from
puns to writing poetry and quoting
from the Bible in order to uphold
their side of the argument.
Lynn Christy and his Penn States
men, who arc scheduled to piny lust
on the program, from 12:16 to 1
