That is exactly the way we have been treated. and we are deeply grateful." Then I related to our hosts my own personal experiences. I told them how in 1920. as a boy of 20. 1 had come to the United States of America for higher studies and how I decided to stay here. I pointed out how in those days of the twenties and thirties in the State of California. there was much prejudice and discrimination against Asiatic people and the people of Mexico. I told them how I graduated in 1924. with a Ph. D. degree from the University of California.
