Pearl Buck Dedicates Life
To Better Understanding
Among Diverse Peoples
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Lit-erature
and the Pulitzer Prize, Pearl
Buck, will lecture on 'The United"
States and the Far East" in Aycock
Auditorium Monday. February 26.
Miss Buck Is renowned fur her
many novels and articles and in 1938
was selected by the American women
as one of the ten outstanding women
of that year. Author and lecturer,
the speaker has dedicated her life to
a better understanding between peo-ples
through mutual knowledge.
Brought up in China as the daugh-ter
of an American missionary and
his wife. Miss Buck learned Chinese
before English and believes that it
is because she thinks in the Chinese
idiom that her writing resembles
scriptural English.
She received her bachelor of arts
degree from Randolph Macon Wom-an's
College and her master of arts
from Cornell University. She was
awarded an honorary master of arts
degree from Yale University and is
a member of the national honorary
fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa.
