Twenty years older than the aver- age student, Aunt Ruth began her career at Michigan when she entered the University in 1926. She took courses in art, journalism and play production, the subjects she dreamed of taking when she looked through the University catalos of her under- graduate sons. Not austere but highly practical, Aunt Ritutth's love of ichigan and interest in its students was born in her undergraduate days. She was in Prof. Valentine Windt's first production and was costumiere for Prof. Windt, the Hillel Players and several other campus theatrical groups. Writing has brought Aunt Ruth her widest recognition. A one-act play, "The Doll," was printed in the campus literary magazine, The Inlander, and her three-act play, "Bondage," was produced at the Lydia Mendelsohn Theatre by the Wesleyan Players. She was on the editorial staff of "The Wesleyan" and contributed poetry to various publications. Dur- ing one summer term she was a re- porter for The Daily. Humanitarian and farsighted, in 1932 Aunt Ruth helped to found the Michigan House, the first co-opera- tive house on campus. With six boys to help her, Aunt Ruth canned 500 gallons of fruit and vegetables, which enabled her to serve perfectly bal- anced meals to a group of 25 boys for a dollar apiece per week. Showing her militan spirit and ability to get things done, in World War I Aunt Ruth received an award for outstanding Red Cross work. She organized the Estabrook Women's Re- lief Corps, and was one of the found- ers of the Starr Commonwealth for Boys at Albion. Aunt Ruth believes that her big gest job is to send letters and Dailies to servicemen, a project which began three years ago. It all came about when a letter from Major Garnet J. Burlingame, com- mandant of the Ann Arbor National Guard Unit, Company K, arrived, say- ing that the morale of the boys was teing lowered since they were losing contact wit4 home, Aunt Ruth decided to turn her hand at remedying the situation. She wrote to all the boys in Company K, asking each one if he wanted mail and news from home. The response was tremendous She received replies not only from Company K, but also from hun- dreds of other servicemen. Aunt Ruth answered every request for correspondence. Letters-hundreds of them- start- ed pouring in and the stream hasn't waned. And in reply Aunt Ruith wrote birthday cards, Christmas cards, get well cards, sympathy cards, and letter after letter. She spent all her spare time looking after soldiers and sailors who needed "some helping over the rough spots." Aunt Ruth set aside work on her miniature theatre and put away her half revised novel to devote all her time to :her most important project, writing to her "nephews." And she Technic Staff To Meet Members of the Michigan Technic staff will hold a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Technic office, Frank Arams, assistant editor, an- nounced.

She received other awards also. Aunt Ruth is an hol orary member of the Navy Mother's Clib and has been given an Emblem of honor Pin, an honor ordinaily reserved for mothers of four orineru killed in action. In 1942 an article in The Daily by Hale Champion was copied by World Wide Service and brought in many new names and birthday dates. She :eceived one letter from a British soldier in a London hospital who had ead about her in the London Daily Mirror. "The rea ou I do this work is that I'm ,so grateful to the boys for what they are doing," ,Aunt Ruth said. Vast 60 new, and slightly cripled, she works seven days a week in the University Museum. She is "awfuly proud" of her "neph- ews and loks forward to the day when she wil be able to meet them all per- sonahly. After the war a "Family Reunion" of all the "nephews" is being planned by Col. Stanley G. Waltz, who is very interested in the organization. At this time the bok of letters and photo- graphs, and "tall tales" of the boys wil be put into a book which will be called "The Family Album," Aunt R tuhl1 stated.
