Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

What do you want the philosophy for, Mother? There are two introductory courses--one Riley's history of philosophy and the other Drake's general introductory course. Which do you want? Enclosed find the name of the book for the first course. You can order it, or I will. Let me know which you want.

I finished Zo lab this morning. I certainly hate to give that course up. I think I'll take the second semester next year. Did I ever mention that Dr. Treadwell gave me permission to listen to the last month of lectures on evolution? I could listen to the whole course and thus get all but the lab--as no text-book is used--but I would be defeating the very purpose for which I dropped the course. Besides which, if you do that, you have to make arrangements in the dean's office and thus make it a regular course that would not be "cuttable" any more than any other course.

I handed my grand and glorious psych topic--a young volume--in this morning.

Had two wonderful hours of coasting yesterday afternoon down Sunset from the top. It certainly is glorious to watch and Sunset over the snow-covered hills and trees.

I am going to start to study for the three fast approaching exams this afternoon. I played all last evening, like a darn fool.

Love,

Fannie

Helen had a wire from Pauline and Edgar that they would be here from tomorrow afternoon until Thursday.

Mother, what would you think of expressing my sled to me? It is not doing any one any good at home, and the three gym sleds here are always in use. I don't like to borrow the same person's all the time. The girl across from me had hers expressed from New York without even having it boxed--just tagged. Would that be possible from Pittsburgh? R.
