Abstract
Daily entries from July through December 1914. Newspaper clippings concerning Vassar's field day, moonlight sail, and mountain climb; a letter from Markwick's aunt Mollie; an invoice for directing song practice and class meeting; and a Vassar room deposit receipt are pasted into the diary beginning in May 1914. The diary also contains social news clippings, calling cards, musical programs, an article on a Vassar fire drill (Oct 3), and a Vassar "circus" ticket (Oct 31). The summer entries (Jul 31-Aug 31) mention trips to Pleasant Lake and Tupper Lake with several friends, and Markwick's attempts to dissuade her friends (Peter, Tunk, and Robert) from proposing marriage to her. Fall entries consist of brief references to social visits and films and several letters concerning social news and working on the Vassarion (Oct 10). Markwick also mentions the Junior Party, an off-campus dinner party, a visit by former Vassar president James Monroe Taylor (Nov 2), getting a suffrage button (Nov 5), and the health emergency of her classmate Miss Thallon (Dec 6). Current events cited by Markwick include the declarations of war between England (Aug 4), President Wilson's proclamation of a day to pray for peace (Oct 4), and Turkey's entrance into the war (Oct 30).

Germany's reply to England's ultimatum demanding that the integrity of Belgium be respected was unsatisfactory and England declared war on Germany at 7 o'clock to-night. Almost simultaneously Germany declared war on England.
Pleasant Lake. --
Swim. Mother came for me this afternoon but I didn't go home. She took Peter, Katherine and me as far as "Breezy" corners and we walked back from there.
Went fishing with Peter at 7:30. He caught a bass and a bullhead and I slept. He made me tired bossing me around and I got a grouch and refused to talk. Served him right! He takes too much for granted. There is one thing certain I'll never marry him and he needn't think that I'm going to.

1914 Wednesday 5 August
Went in swimming twice to-day. Went fishing in the evening and Peter got 5 bullheads, Nancy two -- Becky and I sun fish!
Peter and I had a long talk afterward. I know that he is very much in love with me and he knows that I'm merely a good friend of his. I know that I will never be anything more than that. He is not the kind of a man that I will fall in love with. The man I marry must first of all be honest, true and good - no bad habits - and he must be masterful - Peter is not. He lets me be master of the situation always. That's why I don't love him. The man I love must be one I look up to - not one who bows down to me!

Ed Mills came up to see me and we went for a long walk. he is the queerest man I ever knew. Everything he says has a double and deeper meaning. From what I should judge he is a man of love or hate - no medium between the two. if he likes, he likes - If he dislikes he dislikes - But I like him because he is different and interesting to be with because he is always trying to veil his own thoughts and feelings thereby making them all the more interesting to study.

It's almost a cures- this love- summer love, "love of Spring' Still I'm happy in it- I love my friends dearly- without them I'd never be happy - especially men friends - Men are so much more wholesome and honest in their friendship.

In the evening Tunk and Morris came over- We got stuck on a shoal coming home from the picnic and Turk had to get out and shove the boat off.

In the evening we all dressed for the big dance, Marion, Constance, Dot, Helen and myself. Constance as an Indian, the rest as gypsies. Tunk and I had a talk before we started, a talk during the dance on the same old rocks where we spent such a happy evening in June -- and a talk afterward sitting on the bow of the "White Otter" -- He told me that he was not going to tell me anymore about his dreams and wishes until he know how I felt toward him-- He wants to see me every night that I'm home before he goes away-- My conscience hurts me-- Poor Pete!

Big late breakfast- Dot and I rowed over to the hotel to get the mail - Dot's letter from Paul did not seem to amount to much when Clady and Morris paddled right up to Harris's dock and didn't stop to talk with her. Poor Dot, there was deeper gloom yet when we met them on the way back to the hotel and Morris did not stop to say good-bye to her. The Aldrich's car drove in about 1:30 P.M and Dot departed bag and baggage for Gouverneur. Played "21" all the evening and then went out see "Maud" - a horrible rattle, and bag and we came back - Much scare - Much heels-!

Got a letter from Tunk saying that he might be over for the dance and no sooner got back to Atlanta Camp than Mother arrived with the news that he and Helen were here- Later we found them over at the store and Tunk and I sat around and talked while the rest went in swimming- They came over for supper - and Tunk and I were sent over for milk when lo! and behold there was Peter on the dock. I said "Hello". Peter said "Hello". Tunk said "Hello"- Then we got out and shook hands- It seems Peter, Bab, Woof, Toad, Blanche H. and Brownie had all come over for the dance- It was a pickle for me! Finally I made H.P. come over to supper and then went to the dance with Peter-- Had a peachy time in spite of difficulties between Peter and Tunk- Jennie Laidlaw, Bill D. Martha Johnson, Wainwright, Cy Sammons, and his bunch and a big crowd was there.

Tunk was up in the evening. had a rather dry time I'm afraid. Talked all the evening - Mostly in explanation of some of the incident things of the River. I hope that I can go with him to-morrow. It will be lots more fun to be with someone whom I like.

Constance and I went down to the Movies "One Wonderful Night" with Francis Bushman in the chief part. Had a wild time with a wild man who visited on making acquaintances in a most unseemly way in the Movies.
Edith and I picked out stuff for the curtains for the reading room - Blue $.98 per yd.
To-night I've been studying and talking to McCarthy. Mostly talking to McCarthy.
A letter from Cac and Brownie!
Please let me hear from you again "soonest" will you?
