Seagrave, Noted Author On Burma, Speaks At Chapel Today Dr. Gordon S. Seagrave, author of the best sellers, Burma Surgeon and Burma Surgeon Returns, will appear at student assembly today at 12 o'clock in the chapel. In both his books, Dr. Seagrave has given to the American public a graphic, human and stirring ac count of the ifo of a medical missionary in a section of tWe world unfamiliar to all but a handful of Americans before the war. Dr. Seagrave has served in Burma for almost a quarter of a century as a medical missionary and when construction began on the Burma Road, he literally be came medical officer of the Burma Road and his ambulances were mobile clinics covering an almost unbelievable area. Three years later, Dr. Seagrave and his staff fought their way back to Burma. He found his own home demolished by bombs and the hospital partly destroyed as a result of the American bombings of the Japanese forces. Dr. Sea grave, however, has briskly set about the task of rebuilding his hospital. He returned to America early during the fall, and the en tire earnings from his lectures will be used to rebuild and enlarge his war-ravaged hospital.
