Now scrving as Director of the . niversity's International Center ,ind as Counselor to foreign stu- dents, Dr. Gale is able to draw on his fluency in many languages and ravel or residence in five of the even continents "to greet almost my foreign student in a phrase of his own language or a word about his own home town, be it Bagdad, Hong Kong cr Belem," Early Language Training Dr. Gale was born in Bad Axe and received his early education in Bay City. He began his interna- tional contacts and language ltraining at the early age of seven when, although of Scotch-Irish origin, he was "pitched into a German parochial school to learn German by the natural method of exposure. Before he attended any school whatever, his father, a facile linguist himself, had him reading the Bible in both Latin and French. Continuing in variable language lines, which came to include Greek, Italian, Anglo-Saxon, Rus- Class Surveys Office Systems Students in a business admin- istration class in "records organi- zation" will have access to the fa- cilities of nine Detroit business concerns during May. Two students will be assigned to each cooperating business, and will make a weekly visit to that office. There they will make a survey of the concern's "paper work sys- tem," observing the preparation and use of business records. All the cooperating concerns are meihbers of the National Office Management Association, through which the arrangement was made. S * * * "Chinese Water Colors," a group of songs by Carpenter, will be featured in a song recital to be presented by Arlene Sollenberger, music school student, at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at Rackham Assembly Hall.____ sian and Esperanto, he majored in Medieval European History at the University for his M.A. degree, with a view to research and teach- ing in that field. Foreign Service Approrpiately enough, with this preparation, and upon passing the U. S. Foreign Service examina- tions, Dr. Gale found himself at Peking, China, in a completely medieval atmosphere. There, he recounts, he found a "gorgeous Oriental despotism, resembling in close respects the Byzantine em- pire in its decline, drawing to a close within the forbidden city of Peking. Republican China, with its American bent, was still in the offing and intercourse between Chinese and foreigners was still at a minimum" In this exotic atmosphere, the young man from Michigan was able to make an intensive sudy of the Chinese language for practi- cal use in a long career in the serv- ice of both the American and Chi- nese governments. He has subse- quently written extensively on his experiences and observations in the Far East. Academic Interludes For"refresher"purposes, his life in China has varied with occasional academic interludes in his home- land where he successively taught Far Eastern languages and culture at his Alma Mater, the University of California and Northwestern University. At the outbreak of World War II, Dr. Gale was appointed by the State Department to a special mis- sion in the Far East, maintaining headquarters at China's wartime capital, Chungking. On his re- turn to Ann Arbor, he served a year as a professor of political science, and in 1943 assumed his present duties at the International Center. At this post, Dr. Gale says, he has observed "the growth and fruition of the foreign student exchange program of the Univer- sity of Michigan to its present state of world-wide renown." Dr. Gale firmly believes that "international education as prac- ticed by hundreds of institutions of higher learning in this country today will prove in the long run the most potent factor in bringing about world understanding and global peace." "itel"ectual Differences "It is definitely intellectual and ideological differences, that are causing the world's present ma- laise," he said. "With the release of millions of young American men and women from war service, international intellectual exchange is rapidly re- suming its two-way pattern. The carrying out of the Fulbright Act will provide wide opportunities for young Americans to study in the foreign lands of their choosing. "In addition, government agen- cies are making this definitely the American era by dispatching trained young Americans into vari- ous kinds of foreign service, both diplomatic and technological," he said.
