Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
The error is mine, Mother. Dr. Krebs changed my lenses Christmas time, and I had forgotten to take my specs along, so I was able to leave only my bone glasses, and I forgot ever to take the gold frames in. I apologize humbly. I don't see how I could have been so forgetful, but I suppose you do, Pete. i guess I'll let them go till June, supposing I won't lose these in the meantime. There is a pair of specs with old lenses in the top right hand chiffonier drawer incase you think they ought to be fixed before June, however.
Heard Dr. Shailer Matthews give a rotten lecture on "The Contribution of Evolution to Religion" tonight. Sorry I wasted the time But I put in six stiff hours on my Tolerance topic, so that is not so bad.
Evan came back from the League Conference at Smith with the information that Radcliffe may drop out, in which case Bryn Mawr will join. Next year's league debates are to have only two speakers on each side--14 minute speech, 7 minute interval, and 7 minute rebuttal.
I convinced next year's chairman to get off a challenge immediately to Oxford. They are sending a team next [fall?] [again?].
