According to Russel Ruhf, a graduate student at the College from Allentown, who visited Greenland this summer under direction of the United. States Weather Bureau, Ootah unfurled Peary’s fraternity flag at the Pole in 1909. “With Ruhf, went Arthur Dodd of Swarthmore, also a graduate student at the College. They join ed 12 American, and 10 Canadian students aboard a Navy ice breaker to take supplies to es tablished weather stations, and to construct others within the Arctic Circle, Upon reaching Thule, Dpdd continued farther west to Reso lute Bay while Ruhf stayed at Thule, which by the way, is a joint weather station on Danish soil. It is the only station Qf six in the area which has a doctor. “It is almost impossible,to rea lize,” said Ruhf, “how uncivilized the Eskimos are. Until 1946, they had never seen a rifle." Ruhf and a native guide named Kisu, became good friends and occasionally hunted seals to gether. ' “The Eskimos still use the con ventional harpoon,” he said, “but finish off the seal with a riflfe." “These people are equals among equals, and if four meii go hunting, the kill is equally divid ed. • “I never thought that a people with , such a simple society and philosophy existed,” he. continu ed. “The words ‘conceit, jealousy, hate, and war’ are not even in their vocabulary. A true com munistic attitude prevails.” - Agreement Canada, America, and Den mark have agreed not to educate tlie Eskimo, supply any conveni ences, or even give them food, said Ruhf. He explains that these countries are afraid that such treatment would spoil these people to the point of making them unfit' to even live in such a land where survival depends on ancient customs/instinct, and in genuity. * . The common cold is unknown among the Eskimos, and in 1900,; when one man in an English ex ploring party had a cold, an en- DO YOU KNOW . . .

Treatment has just started in the past year.. Temperature “Many people,” said Ruhf, “be lieve the temperature is con stantly below zero. This is not true, however, for in the summer, the average is 40 degrees. The Greenland Ice Cap, 9000 feet thick, and covering 80 percent of the area, melts rapidly causing dry stream beds to become rag ipg torrents.” . “Visibility is extremely clear,” he continued, “and on a cold, clear day, ordinary conversations can be heard distinctly a mile away.” According to Ruhf, weather ex-? perts estimate that the tempera ture at the Pole has never drop ped below 74 degrees below zero, while in Riverside, Wyoming, re cords prove that the mercury hit a 90 degree low. - Peary's Son Ruhf also.encountered Admiral Peary’s son, whose mother was an Eskimo. This man speaks no English, and lives in the village with others of his race. The students left for the States in mid-September. Ruhf flew, back, .stopping off at several other bases. Both Ruhf and Dodd are en thused about their _ experiences and hope to make a’ return trip to the land of the mid-night sun.
