Loveliest May day, sunny and cool. Whole day at home, in this little house overlooking the Kialing River. San Pao 【蔣懷仁] and I took turns at solitaire; listened a great deal to the radio; watched traffic over the river, and read morning and evening papers. Wrote a letter to Erh Pao 【蔣壽仁] in Kunming, telling her what courses I would take if I were a college student today: I would like to learn to write Chinese well, get a comprehensive knowledge of Chinese history, understand the chief thinkers of 5th to 3rd century B.C., and acquire an appreciation of Han prose and Tang and Han poetry. I would like to master one Western language, preferably English, have a general knowledge of Western history, particularly of the modern period, and get some appreciation of Western drama and fiction; of the sciences, I would like to have a general course in physics, one in chemistry, one in biology, and one in geology; finally, I would like to have a thorough course in economics and some knowledge of comparative government. If I should find myself inclined to have an intellectual life, I would specialize after I get to the graduate school. Otherwise, my college training would equip me for a life in politics or business. The British and the Americans have taken 6,000,000 German prisoners on German soil. The allies have undone the Hitler revolution: abolished the racial laws, the Fuehrer principle, the Hitler youth, the concentration camps, the Nazi party: a counter-revolution by international force. Let us see the results.
