Excerpt from Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 38: November 1941 Time permits me only to mention that I spent many def lightful weeks in Cambridge, entranced by the beauty of the place and fascinated by the students fluttering about on bicycles in their tattered old gowns. I believe that only one college in Cambridge has been hit by a bomb and so far as I know the damage was not extensive. Oxford has entirely escaped so far. You have all heard of the English schoolmaster who recited the lines, Oh to be in England now that April's here to a class of small children and asked who wrote them. A small boy responded gleefully that he knew. It was Hitler. A year ago I was saying in agony of mind Oh, to be in Oberlin now that September's here. Neither Hitler nor I obtained our objectives. There were too many diplo' mats and government officials ahead of me for seats on the plane to Lisbon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
