Show NEW CHINESE MINISTER t. - - - - in.- j jy Hundreds of young men and women wom-en scattered throughout the United States remember their young Columbia Colum-bia university friend, V. K. Wellington Koo. It hasn't been so many months since he graduated with them and went home to China. Should they desire to see Doctor Koo now, they will find him minister to the United States, at the Chinese embassy in Washington. Doctor Koo is just thirty years old. To him has been intrusted the destiny of China in its relation to the western world. He has dedicated his life to "save China as a nation from being dismembered and swallowed up in the maelstrom of the European war." Doctor Koo was popular at Colum? bia, a leader in student activities, editor of the college paper, and active in athletic and literary groups. Doctor Koo has grown a trifle more sedate Bince his diplomatic duties have been put upon him. He is hailed by Prof. John Bassett Moore and other enthusiastic enthusi-astic American friends as "a most brilliant student of international law, comparable to the prodigies of a century ago William Pitt, Fox and Alexander Alex-ander Hamilton." 11F " 1 11 " ' ' 1 11 ' m ii 1 . |
