The late Dr. Charles DeVol was my school mate and best friend, although we did not meet during our years at Indiana University. His life was devoted to serving the Chinese, not only as a Quaker missionary to China but as a professor of botany at the National Taiwan University. Charles was the eldest of three children born to medical missionary parents in Liou-He, China. His parents died when he was still young, and he and his brother and sister returned to the United States, where an elderly couple in their church in Marion, Ohio adopted them. Charles completed his high school and college education in the U.S. and returned to China to teach high school in the place where he was born. |
