She is of Latin American birth and ancestry and was born on the island of Arula off the coast of Venezuela.

PHD Work In History Open Here By CHARLES GOLEY The Ph.D. program of the uni versity, authorized by the general board on recommendation of the faculty in 1945, awarded a degree in June to J. M. Lessare, head of the history department at Erskine college. At the present time only the his tory department is awarding P~h.D). degrees. However, other depart ments are planning to do so in two or three years, according to Dr. WV. H. Calcott, dean of the graduate school of the university. The Caroliana library has over three million manuscripts. This is one of the largest collections to be found in the Southeast. "There is no intention of pro miscuously accepting men when we do not have the material to work with," D)r. Caleott said. Several times, w~heni information has leaked out that several departments were accepting c-andidates, the graduate office recel\ved many inquiries from all over the country. Many departments of the school have ample facilities for graduate work but have not b)een ab)le to ne-cep)t candidates due to the large number of undergraduate students. At first the University accept ed only candidates for doctorates hav-. ing a master's from this univer sity. Now they are selected geo graphically from other leading in stitutions as well.
