Tales of Pioneers Fosfered
H-SU Prexy’s Love of History
By BOB HAVINS
How does a scholar and historian
get that way?
One auch personage In Abilene
tells it like this:
"When I was just a boy in Steph-
ens County I used to listen to the
stories the pioneers of that section
told. They visited our house and
swapped experiences of Indian
fights, homesteading, drouths and
cattle drives.
6 "I didn't know that they were
history I thought of history as
something written in books about
something far away.
"Later I discovered those people
lived the history of the most ro-
mantic and glamorous period of
Texas history.”
That's how Dr. Rupert N. Rich-
ardson got interested in the story
of the Southwest
AUTHOR TOO
His interest isn't passive, either.
In fact, his studies of the early
• days in this section are mirrored in

(That statement isn't from the
lips of the modest college president.
It came to this writer from one
of the professors at the university.)
Right now his duties as the presi-
dent of Hardin-Simmons Univer-
sity slow down his research a little
and his pen isn't as productive as
before.
History isn't the only thing that
interests the president. He gets a
big kick out of guiding the destin-
ies of Abilene’s largest institution
of higher learning.
The popular conception of a pro-
fessor is that he's a person a little
absent minded, whose entire in-
terest lies in fields other than
business. But Dr. Richardson's
associates will tell you he's quite
a "horse trader "
UNIVERSITY GROWS
Under bis guidance the univer-
sity has grown from a total en-
rollment in 1942 of 925 to 3,114 so
far this year. Several buildings
have been added during his ten-
ure. A new girls dormitory has
been constructed. Abilene Hall
has been rebuilt. Behren s Chapel
was completed; Rose Field House
constructed. The dining hall has
been enlarged, and many new
classrooms and dwelling units
added. In addition Sandefer Me-
morial building has been started.
The president probably has
been in active touch with Hardin-
Simons longer than any member
of the present staff He came to
old Simmons longer than any mem-
ber of the present staff. He came
to old Simmons College in 1907.
did preparatory work and was
graduated with a B A. degree in
1912 He came back in 1917 as a
member of the staff and has been
here since, with the exception of
time taken off for doing graduate
work.
He ascended to the presidency
in 1945. after having served as
acting president since 1943.
His dry wit and effective speak-
ing manner have made Dr. Rich-
ardson a popular speaker and he
fills numerous engagements
throughout the year.
BEE-KEEPER AND FARMER
But it isn't all work with the
pleasant educator.
He's fond of bee-keeping and
farming, and will spin you funny
stories about his two hobbies; but
he'd better fell them, as there’s
not room here for them.

SAN ANTONIO, June 25. ()-
Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley, chief
of Staff of the United States Army
talked down the threat of war here
Thursday.
War with Russia ia possible, but
time could ease the clash between
the United States and the Soviet
Union, Gen. Bradley told reporters
at a news conference.
The 55 - year-old four-star gen-
eral is making Fort Sam Houston.
4th Army Headquarters at San An-
tonio, his last stop in a tour of
Army installations in the West and
Southwest. He heads back to Wash-
ington. D. C., after a schedule here
lasting through Friday afternoon.
"Do you think we will ever go
to war with Russia?" Gen Brad-
ley was asked.
He hesitated briefly, then re-
plied: "Well, I wouldn't know."
"Do you think war with Russia
ia possible?"
"Possible, yes They have a dif-
ferent ideology than ours ”
Reporters switched to another
subject, but Gen. Bradley returned
to the Russian angle a few minutes
later.
"You don’t ordinarily pick out
any one nation as the one we are
preparing against,” he observed
"We prepare to meet the threat of
any nation or any coalition of na-
tions"
The Army strength of 790,000
men anticipated under the new se-
lective service law should afford
"reasonable protection” for t h e
United States. Gen. Bradley be-
lieved
Where will Texas draftees be sent
to train?
“A lot will be sent directly to
tactical units for training. Others
will be sent to training centers."
Camp Hood eventually will be
built to a strength of one full arm-
ored division, the General said. The
camp now has one-third of a divi-
sion.
What camps will be reactivated?
"We will probably make use of
fields that have a complement now,
and open up those that have a ca-
pacity of twelve to fifteen thou-
sand"
Particular use will be made of
military fields which have wartime
housing that is easy to rehabilitate.
Fort Worth Paper 1
Endorses Johnson
FORT WORTH June 25. (—The
Star-Telegram today had indorsed
Lyndon Johnson in hia race for
U.S. senator from Texas.
In an editorial yesterday, the
newspaper declared it had backed
Johnson in the special election of
1941 and “nothing has occurred in
the seven y ears since to change our
judgment."
The Star-Telegram said Johnson
has youth, experience and knows
Washington. His promotion from
congressman, the paper added, is
“well deserved and one calculated
to pay rich dividends to the people
of Texas.”
