Emmant, James Kern Feibleman, Francis S. Haserot and others.* "Alexis SaintāLeger Leger (1887-1975) was a triple image. As Alexis Leger he was a professional French diplomat of impressive suavity and limited accomplishment. As himself he was a gracious aristocrat who preferred his own company to the glitter of the salon. As St.āJohn Perse (pronounced SINājin), he was a major poet of candescent belief in the indestructibility of humanity. The Nobel Prize only confirmed the rapturous regard Mr. Perse's peers expressed for him as one of the most original of contemporary poets. His audacious use of pungent imagery and arcane symbolism set him apart, as did his celebration of the inexhaustible power of life to triumph over disaster, His language was ambiguous, lyric and cadenced, studded with subtle metaphors and sprinkled with delicate melodies more discernible by the ear than the eye. Among poets writing in English, Archibald MacLeish, T. S. Eliot and Louise Varese were drawn to Mr. Perse and influenced by him." NY Times Obit. "Felix M. Morley (1894=1982) was an educator and journalist who won the Pulitzer Prize. Mr. Morley won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing in 1936, three years after he was named editorial page editor of The Washington Post. In his career he was president of Haverford College and the first correspondent in China for The Baltimore Sun. He was a brother of the author and poet Christopher Morley, who died in 1957. Felix Morley, who held a doctorate in political science and was the author of seven books on economics and politics, was born in Haverford, Pa. His family moved to Baltimore in 1900. He was graduated in 1915 from Haverford College. In 1915 Mr. Morley went to Europe and became an ambulance driver for the British Red Cross. He returned to the United States a year later to become a reporter for The Philadelphia Ledger. In 1917, he became a Washington correspondent for the United Press news agency. Two years later, he won a Rhodes scholarship and studied for two years at Oxford, after which he studied at the London School of Economics on a Hutchinson Research Fellowship. Several years later, he won a Guggenheim Fellowship to study the organization of the League of Nations. In 1922, Mr. Morley joined The Baltimore Sun, working in several Far East bureaus and in 1925 becoming the newspaper's first correspondent in China. He left The Sun in 1929, complaining that H.L. Mencken was exercising 'excessive influence' on editorial policy. From 1929 to 1931, he was director of the Geneva office of the League of Nations Association of the United States. After serving as president of Haverford College from 1940 to 1945, Mr. Morley returned to journalism, working as a Washington correspondent for Barron's Weekly, a position that he held until retiring from full-time newspaper or magazine work in 1954." - NY Times Obit.
