Appropriately, Iwo Jima means "Sulphur Island." But only
the Japanese name is ever used here — that is what the
Marines always called it, and that is what 92,000,000
Japanese, to whom this eight-square-mile black dot in the
western Pacific is equally a monument to the valor of
their fighting men, have always called it.
For the Japanese forces in the Pacific also had tht. finest
hour on this lonely, ever-smoking heap of cinders about
midway between Tokyo and Guam. Under General
Tadamichi Kuribayashi, who committed suicide with E
short sword in the traditional Japanese warrior's way when
all hope was gone, more than 20,000 fought to the enc
and only 1,083 prisoners yielded.
Man-made caves had been the key to the Japanese
defense. Connected in many cases by lateral tunnels, and
impervious to bombing and shelling except in the event ol
a lucky direct hit, they provided the defenders with inter-
locking fields of fire covering virtually every inch of the
island.
But, on the twenty-sixth day of the battle, the men oi the
Third, Fourth and Fifth marine Divisions, pressing
forward without regard for casualties that left some units
with hardly any of the men who had participated in the
initial assault, eradicated all opposition.
The 400 or so men of the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard
who occupy Iwo Jima today find the island a place of
serenity, peace — and monotony. They are assigned
here for twelve-month terms. The fourteen Coast Guard
men run a LORAN — long-range air navigational station;
the Air Force contingent operates an emergency landing
strip and weather and communication services on the site
of the former Motoyama Airfield No.2. Fresh food comes
to the island from Japan twice a week by plane.
Iwo Jima is still strategic in the sense that it serves as a
refuge for pilots in difficulty. Two or three planes a
month, on the average, set down on the 9,600-foot as-
phalt runway to repair mechanical defects developed in mid-ocean flight.

On History of the University of London
In the early 19th century Oxford and Cambridge were the
only two universities in England. The cost of education at
these universities was so high that only the sons of the
wealthier classes could afford to attend. But more restric-
tive still were the religious tests; only Church of England
members could attend. It was to overcome these limitation*
that in 1827, in Gover Street, London, a non-denomina-
tional college — "University College" — was founded. Its
first years were years of struggle for survival against hostile
forces of the Church and State. The "godless" college was
opposed by Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Robert Peel and
the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, who opened
a rival institution — King's College.
In 1836 these two institutions, University College and
King's College, joined forces through a typically English
compromise. Each retained the control of its own internal
organisation, faculty and teaching; a separate body, the
University of London, was created to "conduct the exam-
ination of and confer degrees upon their students". Thus
was born the University of London.
The long reign of Victoria saw many changes in the
University. Medical schools of the various teaching hospi-
tals, Bedford College for women, Imperial College of
Science and Technology, and many others. The famed
London School of Economics was a new-comer in 1895.
Up until 1900 the University was only an examining body,
but in that year an Act of Parliament allowed the
first actual teaching on any level. Today the University has much the same form of
organisation adapted to accommodate its increased size and complexity. It is
governed by a Vice-Chancellor, a Court, and a Senate. The Senate composed of
representatives of the constituent colleges and school nominees of the crown, the
London Country Council, certain professional bodies and graduates, is the supreme
academic authority. The Court, also broadly representative body, allocates to the
colleges money derived from the national government and the London Country
Council. In brief, the University of London is a federation of colleges, each largely
independent, and the whole independent of the British Parliament in academic
matters.
In many ways the University has departed from the traditions of Oxford and
Cambridge. London University was the first to abolish religious tests, to grant
degrees without residence. Recently the Senate abolished — not without a stir —
the requirement of being English for entrance. The cap and gown are missing
here, but the tradition of schooling is strong.
