Alma's go-to subject for whenever she was asked to give a talk was "India", apparently, with variations on the theme depending on the audience. On the one hand, I can imagine people thinking, "There she goes again." On the other hand, Alma was always interesting, and I suspect that her India stories were more interesting than the discussion of the question of "Can we afford apparatus for physiological experiments?"

1.
This is one of a series of items about talks that Alma gave on various subjects. The ever-growing list is in:

Following luncheon to be held at the College Inn, Dr. Morgan will address the conference on “Field and laboratory work in fresh water biology,” after which leaders in a question period will be Miss Irene Graves Morton H. Cassidy of Hyde Park high school, Boston.
There must be a slip-up in the editing here. Surely it is supposed to be "Miss Irene Graves and Morton H. Cassidy of Hyde Park high school, Boston."

We've got newspaper mentions of a couple of Wednesday chapel talks that Alma gave. And they weren't about India!

Dr Susan R. Stifler, a former member of the department of history and political science, will address the student body on Thursday morning on the subject “The background of the Sino-Japanese crisis.”
I learned from...that Susan Reed Stifler lived in China with her husband for several years - roughly 1915 to 1925, I thnk.
As for the Sino-Japanese crisis, Wkipedia says:
The Marco Polo Bridge incident, also known as the Lugou Bridge incident or the July 7 incident, was a battle during July 1937 in the district of Beijing between the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China's and the Imperial Japanese Army.
Some people think of 1937 as the real beginning of World War II, due to this incident.
