THE LETTER

Language Department

Bucknell University

Lewisburg, PA 17837, USA

Dear sirs or madams:

We are writing to you in the interest of establishing concrete relations between our Institute and American University.

Our Institute, Cherkassy Engineering and Technological Institute is located in Cherkassy, Ukraine, about 200 km from Kyiv along the Dnieper River. Here we prepare engineers for many branches of industry. Our graduates work at many enterprises of machine-building, electronic, radio, instrument-making, civil building and chemical industries. Therefore, the study of foreign languages is very important for us.

We are encouraged by the fact that the cultural, scientific and educational relations between the United States and Ukraine have grown stronger. We would like to continue this trend with an educational exchange among educators of our two countries. Specifically, we would like to begin an exchange program whereby a professor of your University would teach English here for a semester, while one of our professors teaches Ukrainian to your students.

We are most anxious to make this exchange and assure you that we will do our utmost to make your stay with us a pleasant one. During the semester all expenses for a visiting professor will be met by our Institute. Food and lodgings to an appropriate standard will be provided by our Institute, as well as all travels within the country connected with the work program. The medical service will be free of charge.

We would like to introduce to you Dr. Ivanenko. He is a doctor of science, a full professor and the head of our foreign languages department. He is not only a good teacher of the Ukrainian language and literature, but also one of the best experts in American literature of the 20th century. He has translated the works of many American authors and has published some books devoted to American literature. In 1996 Dr. Ivanenko worked at Georgetown University in Washington according to the Program of the Ukrainian-American scientific exchange.

We feel that such a semester exchange between Dr. Ivanenko and a professor of your University would be mutually beneficial for us. In the wave of recent political events, our students are more and more eager to learn English as perhaps your students are eager to learn Ukrainian. This would begin a lasting and fruitful relationship between our two Institutes and our two countries.

We thank you in advance for your consideration and hope you are as interested in such relations as we are.

Sincerely yours,

Head of the Institute

How We Kept Mother's Day

by Stephen Leacock

Part 2

Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there hardly seemed as much room in it as we had supposed, because we hadn't reckoned on Father's fishing basket and the rods and the lunch, and it was plain enough that we couldn't all get in.

Father said not to mind him, he said that he could just as well stay home, and that he was sure that he could put in the time working in the garden; he said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do, like digging a trench farther garbage, that would save hiring a man, and so he said that he'd stay home; he said that we were not to let the fact of his not having had a real holiday for three years stand in our way; he wanted us to go right ahead and be happy and have a big day, and not to mind him. He said that he could plug away all day, and in fact he said he'd been a fool to think there'd be any holiday for him.

But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would gladly have stayed and helped the maid get dinner, only it seemed such a pity to, on a lovely day like this, having their new hats. But they both said that Mother had only to say the word, and they'd gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, but unfortunately we wouldn't have been any use in getting the dinner.

So in the end it was decided that Mother would stay home and just have a lovely restful day round the house, and get the dinner. It turned out anyway that Mother doesn't care for fishing, and also it was just a little bit cold and fresh out of doors, though it was lovely and sunny, and Father was rather afraid that Mother might take cold if she came.

He said he would never forgive himself if he dragged Mother round the country and let her take a severe cold at a time when she might be having a beautiful rest. He said it was our duty to try and let Mother get all the rest and quiet that she could, after all that she had done for all of us, and he said that that was principally why he had fallen in with this idea of a fishing trip, so as to give Mother a little quiet. He said that young people seldom realize how much quiet means to people who are getting old. As to himself, he could still stand the racket, but he was glad to shelter Mother from it.

So we all drove away with three cheers for Mother, and Mother stood and watched us from the verandah for as long as she could see us, and Father waved his hand back to her every few minutes till he hit his hand on the back edge of the car, and then said that he didn't think that Mother could see us any longer.

Well, we had the loveliest day up among the hills that you could possibly imagine, and Father caught such big specimens that he felt sure that Mother couldn't have landed them anyway, if she had been fishing for them, and Will and I fished too, though we didn't get so many as Father, and the two girls met quite a lot of people that they knew as we drove along, and there were some young men friends of theirs that they met along the stream and talked to, and so we all had a splendid time.

It was quite late when we got back, nearly seven o'clock in the evening, but Mother had guessed that we would be late, so she had kept back the dinner so as to have it just nicely ready and hot for us. Only first she had to get towels and soap for Father and clean things for him to put on, because he always gets so messed up¹¹ with fishing, and that kept Mother busy for a little while, that and helping the girls get ready.

But at last everything was ready, and we sat down to the grandest kind of dinner– roast turkey and all sorts of things like on Xmas Day. Mother had to get up and down a good bit during the meal fetching things back and forward, but at the end Father noticed it and said she simply mustn't do it, that he wanted her to spare herself, and he got up and fetched the walnuts over from the sideboard himself.

The dinner lasted a long while, and was great fun, and when it was over all of us wanted to help clear the things up and wash the dishes, only Mother said that she would really much rather do it, and so we let her, because we wanted just for once to humour her.

It was quite late when it was all over, and when we all kissed Mother before going to bed, she said it had been the most wonderful day in her life, and I think there were tears in her eyes. So we all felt awfully repaid for all that we had done.
