As a result of the combined scientific expeditions to French Indo-China of two Harvard graduates, Theodore Roosevelt '08, present Governor of the Philippines, and Harold J. Coolidge, Jr. '26, assistant curator of mammals at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, a new book entitled "Three Kingdoms of Indo-China" will be published on March 1 by the Thomas Y. Crewell Company.
The book relates in non-scientific terms the adventures of these two expeditions to Southeastern Asia in 1928-29 on behalf of the Field Museum of Chicago. With the Coolidge party starting from China and the Roosevelt group from the Tibetan border, the original plan was to meet on the Mekong River, but the swift rapids in the Mckong and a lack of time prevented this meeting until the end of the expedition. One tragic incident marred the otherwise complete success of the trip. This was the death of R. W. Hendee from malaria when he was on his way from the Coolidge party to join Roosevelt.
