Planning originally to travel to this country in 1940, she changed Jaer mind just before she was to sail. Six anxious years later she finally made the trip. Miss Marsigan, who has been working on her PhD in botany here since 1946 on a Barbour Scholarship, expects to receive her degree next year and return to her post as a botany instructor at the University of the Philip- pines. * * * AT THE PRESENT TIME, Miss Marsigan is doing research on the anatomy of plants. She has suc- ceeded in growing a plant called Tinospora, which flourishes in tropical climates and is said by natives in the Philippines to be a cure for tuberculosis. She was teaching botany at her alma mater, the University of the Philippines, when the. Japanese attacked Pearl Har- bor. At that time the University was closed and it was progres- sively damaged from 1942 until its total destruction in 1945. After the liberation it was re- located in Quezon City, four miles away from its former home in Manila. For a time there were no lab- oratory facilities or textbooks, making it necessary to instruct students by lectures alone, she stated. The University had to be- gin anew after the war and the first books donated came from the University of Michigan. MISS MARSIGAN spent the early part of the war hiding from the Japanese. During 1944 she worked in the pharmacy of a chil- dren's hospital. A supply of drugs and medicines was non-existent. So she gathered plants from the hospital grounds and nearby bod- ies of water. These plants were boiled, pow- dered and made into solutions. Miss Marsigan said that at the time she was not sure whether the drugs were of real medical value, but when shecameto the United States, she found them written up in scientific texts. The hardships were almost un- bearable, she recalled. "We hard- ly ate one full meal a day." No milk could be obtained so she and her friends made their own from soya beans, rice water and corn meal. "We ate sweet potatoes 'morning, noon and night," she reminisced. ** * * SHE REMEMBERED the day she bought her first pound of cheese since the beginning of the war. It was one week before the liberation and the price was 1,200 Japanese "pesos," about $600 in American money. Even though she can keep a listener spellbound with her amazing knowledge of botany and her thrilling experiences, the gracious and friendly little lady from the Philippines re- marked as she glanced about her small private laboratory in the Natural Science Building, "The more work I do, the more things I find I do not know." Miss Marsigan had heard that Americans were unsympathetic to- ward foreigners, but she said em- phatically that she has personally found the American people every- where friendly, generous and kind. "I feel closer to- my American friends than I do to my own peo- ple," she stated. She said that she enjoys living in Mosher Hall be- cause of the opportunity to asso- ciate with the girls and learn American customs. r . = s ; t'' w. 4 6 " + ,.
