His father, a famous Yugoslavian doctor, was taken to Vienna in that year, and soon afterwards Yarmakov and his mother went to join him. Yermakov worked in a factory in Vienna.

Two days before the Russians took the city, the family moved to a farming village near Munich. After the Americans came, Yermakov finished his schooling in Munich from 1945 to 1949, when he received his scholarship. His parents came with him to America and are living in New York City.

Yermakov would like to follow in his father's footsteps with a medical career. He has a stock answer when asked how he likes America, "I like America very much, but I like Harvard the best."

Balt was Forced Laborer

Andrys Grots '52 lived in Riga, Latvia, the small nation that has been buffeted between Germany and Russia for decades.

Early in 1941 the Russians sent Grots's parents to Siberia. Grots escaped, but when the Germans invaded late that year, he was sent to Karlsbad to work in a china-insulation factory.

The Russians returned in 1944, and he escaped to a Displaced Persons camp near Nuremburg in the American zone. Grots applied for and received a job-assurance in New York. When he reached America, he heard of an opening at Harvard left by another DP student who had

not arrived. He applied, and was accepted immediately.

Pole Worked in Berlin Ruins

The seventh of the students is Polish born Benon Przybielski '51, whose father was killed in 1939 and the rest of his family, except one brother, sent to a concentration camp. The brother joined the underground in Warsaw, but Benon was sent to do farm work in Germany.

After a few weeks he escaped to Poland and stayed with relatives north of Danzig.

In 1944 he was captured and again sent to Germany to work in the ruins near Berlin. At the end of the war he returned to Poland but left almost immediately, because the Russians had taken over. He returned to Germany, finished high school, and in 1948 received an IRO scholarship to the University of Hanover.

In 1949 he came to New York patronized by Bishop Gilbert of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Here he learned about an opening at Harvard.

Przybielski's mother is now in England. "When I finish my studies," he says, "I'll have money to brings her over."

All arrangements, including the running of the collection for the seven men, were directed by the Harvard chapter of the National Students Association.

Last year the College group correlated the operations of all of the NSA chapters in the country in bringing 160 displaced persons to American universities. Although no more of the students will be brought to the College in the near future, the Association is working on the placing of displaced persons in other schools that have not yet been approached
