Contained within the pages of this small booklet are photographs and heartfelt messages compiled by James G. Endicott’s students upon his departure from West China Union University in May 1946. In this entry, Lincoln Ho (何林肯), a chemical engineering student at Nanjing University forced to relocate to Chengdu with the rest of his classmates after the Japanese occupation of Eastern China, affectionately refers to Jim as “Teacher Wen” (文老師). A member of the underground student organization “The Sparks,” Lincoln expresses his hope that his teacher will not forget him and his fellow students who are “longing for the light of the world.”  

这是一册珍贵的小册子，记录了1946年5月文幼章离开中国西部联合大学时，他的学生们用心编纂的照片与真挚留言。其中，南京大学化学工程专业学生何林肯与同学们因日军占领中国东部而迁至成都，他们亲切地称文幼章为“文老师”。作为地下学生组织“火花”的成员，何林肯在献词中深切表达了对文老师的感激与敬意。并恳切希望老师永远不要忘记他和那些“渴望世界之光”的同学们。
