Two New Students From Puerto Rico and
Chino Give Impressions of Meredith
Remember the big thrill we
all got last year when Good
Housekeeping listed Meredith as
one of the fifty best small col
leges of the South? You’ll get
an even bigger thrill if you ask
Flor de Maria Munoz why she
chose Meredith. Believe it or
not, her aunt in Columbia Uni
versity saw that article and
wrote about it to Flor de Maria,
then in school at The Lady of
the Lake College in San An
tonio, Texas.
Flor de Maria wanted to at
tend a college where she could
speak English all of the time.
She almost didn’t get to come
to Meredith, though. First of
all, her mother was afraid that
Flor would get homesick; then
she caught flu and could not
enter for the fall semester. Last
and most terrifying of the ob
structions, she almost missed
the train in Richmond.
Flor de Maria was fortunate
to have a mother who broke
away from many of the tradi
tions concerning boy-girl re
lationships which still are held
in Puerto Rico. Times are
changing in Puerto Rico now,
however, and girls are given
more freedom. Her pleasant
disposition will prevent her
from being lonely away from
home and her steady boy
friend, an engineering student
in Puerto Rico.
She likes college life so far,
even though the food is not hot
and spicy, “like a rhumba,”
that she is used to.
The other student from
abroad enrolled here for the
spring semester for the first
time is Theresa Wong, who pre
fers to be called by her Chinese
name, Junlin. She has the diffi
cult problem of trying to decide
whether to keep the Chinese
customs or adopt new American
ones.

Born in Hongkong, China,
Junlin is twenty-one years old
by American calculations. The
Chinese babies are a year old on
the day that they are born, and
are two years old on the Chinese
New Year, even though they
may actually be only a few
months old. This difference is
still very confusing, for Junlin
will be a year older on February
17, today, which is the Chinese
New Year’s Day, even though
she doesn’t celebrate her birth
day until next July.
TWO FINAL SESSIONS
(Continued from page one)
Hutchins has rebelled against
the United States plan of educa
tion which he says is only im
parting facts. His battle has been
one against the fact gatherers.
In Hutchins’ plan, the student
learns as he pleases, takes gen
eral tests, and then specializes.
Hutchins has had to fight for
his New Plan in education. An
article in Fortune ’47 says.
Many educators are coming to
think him at least partially
right.” Though he has many
unfavorable critics, Robert
Hutchins stands today as a pio
neer in the field of education.
Past speakers this year at the
Institute of Religion have been
David Bradley, author of No
Place to Hide; Ralph J. Bunche,
Director, Department of Trus
teeship, The United Nations;
Max Lerner, author, editor, and
social philosopher; and Doro
thy Fosdick, a member of the
Policy Planning Stall, Depart
ment of State.

Campus Store because it is a cheerful place—
