Prof. Hall Takes Government Job
Prof. Robert B. Hall, who left Ann Arbor last night to work with the office of Strategic Services in the Pacific area, is considered one of the University's leading authorities upon Japan and the Far East and has served for some time as director of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies.
Prof. Hall has traveled extensively in Europe and the Far East, and following the sighing of the armistice in the last war he was engaged in Intelligence work which gave him the opportunity of constant travel over Europe during a seven month period.
During the summer of 1925 he visited the Republic of Haiti and not only became familiar with the island, but was able to take pictures of places never before photographed.
His most recent trip was to Brazil during the past year where he found nearly 300,000 Japanese settled in their own colonies in the country, but who were under sharp surveillance by the Brazilian government.
Prof. Hall, a professor in the department of geography at the University, received the major part of his education here, securing his bachelor of arts degree in 1924. He received his doctor's degree in 1927.
