  晨六点半起。上午作函与British Council 之Rosalind Day ,为吴祖基请奖金事。
  王季午来谈医学院事约一小时余。医学院因教员难请,故不但薪水高,而名义亦特别高。普通在大学做讲师者一人医学院便为副教授、教授,如农化系廿七年之徐达道,其同班均尚为讲师,而徐到医学院为副教授,即其例。学生康乐股陈明达来谈,为游泳池减免收费事。
  午后睡一小时。阅各院交来聘任教员名单。现惟国文系郑石君及教育学系郑晓沧因均在辞职,故尚无名单,其余己交来。困难问题为外文系学生、同事不满意于佘坤珊,但余欲去张君川与陈建耕,结果以陈建耕调文学院而以余体假留校支双薪,而以戚叔含代理。此外则理学院各系人数均年年增加,物理、数学等系均多至廿四五人,而学生人数〈人数〉年年减少,房屋成问题,薪水所得不足以温饱,此真所〔谓〕背道而驰也。

The Americans seemed willing to fill our stomachswhile the Russians filled our heads. “”America is preoccupied with the task of raising the material standards of living ,our ideal is beginning to be not so much a world peopled by wise & happy men , as it isa world in which ‘ every family has its automobile and every pots its chicken’ . .. A solid foundation is an essential basis for a high civilization. But it is a basis not a super帽structure. Today it threatens to lead us to disastrous consequences that mankind lives bybread alone. ” N. Y. Sundαy Times Jurte 6 ,咱.
