Dear Friend: Yours of October 7th came just before the holidays and many thingB have prevented me answering sooner. It was good to get a letter from you and to hear the association news direct from its secretary. Last year I heard frequently from there, but the old fel lows are scattered this year to the ends of the earth almost, and I do not know much about things at the Univer sity. I have had one letter from Sam Anderson since he arrived at his sta tion at Beirut, Syria. While I was out on a little Christmas vacation to an other island I met a Syrian who was graduated from the college at Beirut, several years ago. He now has a small store on the island of C'amaguin. You asked abcut the inducements of fered by tho constabulary. 1 talked with Captain Green, who has been in this province, but is just now being transferred to Cebu. He said that the lieutonnnts who are in charge of out stations do not have much to do, but that In the higher positions the work was quite taxing on a man, owing chiefly to the fact that so much of the work supposed to bo done by the natives has to bo closely watched and in many cases actually done by the commander because of the Incapacity of the natives to do accurate work In making out reports, etc. He said tho chances for good men to work up were favorable. I bellovo this must be true because so many In the constabulary aro of a very low character and some that have been on this Island since I came here nothing better than gamb lers, robbers, and one is now being tried for murder. It seems in the face of a few casos like this a good man ought to find the way up the lad der. The lieutenants in charge of a post must drill and have charge of a small number of natives who go out after any bad "hombres" that may be re ported as doing or likely to do mis chief. Perhaps I may get homo In time to talk to you about this subject before the men leave the University In tho spring. There aro men there, no doubt, who can tell you much about tho country and climate of tho Islands. As to the climate, here it Is fine. I do not see how It could be any better anywhere In the tropics. The temperature Is 78 to 90 degrees throughout tho whole year. It has been very rainy hero for several months, but last year there was a drouth and people appreciate the rain this year. I hope to see you again In May. Yours sincerely, T. E. RINKER. Tho following letter was received from S. R. Williams, a graduate of this University, who Is studying in Berlin: Dear : I was certainly very much pleased In recelvjng your Interesting letter, which contained so much about old U. of N. that I wanted to hear, and further I was glad you had not forgotten mo. Well, as we said boTbro wo parted last year, this year would find-us wide .ly scattered. Heck and I aro hero to gether in Berlin and rooming in tho same place. Wo have found It very pleasant here In Deutschland and think tho University of Berlin about O. K. If wo only had It in America wo would bo happy, for It does get mighty lone same over hero at times. We aro not rooming In American quarters, but in strictly Gorman. Ber lin, and so, for that reason It seems a little moro lonely. Wo go each Sunday down to tho American church and C. E. meeting and It doeB Boom so good to get among people, who speak your own tongue. Thoy just dedicated tho new American church on Thanksgiving day. Tho crown prince of Germany was In attendance. The emperor had prom ised to come, but was dangerously ill when the ceremonlea came off bo sent his son. Work is going very nicely In tho University. During this semester I am putting all my time in on physics until I get a llttlo better grip on tho lan guage. It is a great difficulty to con tend against, for you are always run ning up against some new Idiom, and you can't make out tho exact shade of meaning. But from the start I have been able to understand tho greate part of the lectures, and take notes on tho same In class. Of course It means more reading and studying outside of class, but one can do it very well. No they do not play football here very much, and what they do is strictly football and not Rugby, as wo play ft in America. They aro great on their gymnasiums hero, but they do not do much system atic training In tho same, as they goto the gym one night, and the noxt two they get drunk and carouse around. 1 never saw so mOch drunkenness In my life. Deliver mo from tho so-called German "moderate" drinking. You should hear some of tho music they have over here. It Is grand, and so cheap. The beat operas cost in ''nigger heaven" only 50 cents, and the best orchestra music and best seats cost only 12 cents. But give me America. Now this isn't a long letter, but it will let you know fhat Heck and 1 are alive and kicking. He is going to write also. Best regards to nil at the table Your friend, S. R. WILLIAMS.
