  • On January 4 at noon we were ordered by our section group leader to pack a three day supply of food and clothes into a small suitcase and report in 30 minutes to the square nearby. No one knows who has not faced that problem how hard it is to select from quantities of food reserves, from clothes, books, keepsakes, silver and jewelry, that which must go into a small suitcase knowing that all left behind is to become loot for a hating gloating enemy. Nor did we as we made our selection dream that that which we selected would be used for 37 months. When assembled on the square, a strutting impatient non-commissioned officer hurridly divided men from women and indicated that we (Men) were to take our suitcases and walk, which we did, leaving wives behind without a permitted goodbye and as far as we knew this separation was for always. So with a backward look toward all that had been beautiful we were marched to a great assembly ground. Later of course these women and children joined us and were tabulated, registered, and loaded into trucks for Santo Tomas University and interment on the night of January 4, 1942. The next few days were extremely unpleasant as prisoners were brought into the camp from other sections of Manila. The university consisted of a large three storied building for class room and administration, a small class room building, and a gymnasium. The first only was made available to us and was without sufficient toilets, no bath facilities, and no cooking facilities. No beds, cots, or blankets were furnished. Rooms were jammed and crowded more and more with fresh arrivals. Men in rooms to themselves, and women in other rooms were awakened and aroused every hour by clumping Japanese who grunted, waved, and shoved others into now crowded rooms. They figurered 3 feet by 8 feet sufficient space for each and halved that as the number of prisoners increased. In room 37, the first one opened and to which I was assigned 56 men lived for six months snarling, and quarreling over every inch of space and every inch of draft of air.
