Behold me once more at Vassar. Only a week ago my Auntie announced her liberal intention toward me, and in a very short time my trousseau was completed and I on my way. I have a pleasant room, with Miss Norris, whom I used to despise, for a roommate Miss Lacey & Miss Case are also with us, and Miss Guiillon, a new student from the Sandwich Islands. Miss Lyman received me very graciously and the girls were glad to see me.

We danced in "g" after dinner - then chapel and home to work on map for history some more"34 Feb. Wednesday 3, 1915 Mildred met me this noon before lunch and broke the harrowing news that she has been told that she must go home. Poor girl- I certainly am sad over it - we both wept. Harriet also must go and feels even worse about it! Ruth also. They are sending home even those who flunked only three things. It's mighty hard for Harriet as her father, Mother, and Sister have just come East for the entire spring. There are, it is rumored, 30 freshman sent home and only 75 out of a class of 400 now passed every exam! 35 1915 Thursday 4, Feb.

We all said good-bye down in the hall while Miss R. hovered over in the back ground (making untactful remarks!) Mildred feels blue at not hearing from her family but heard this p.m. - Harriet lost her train and returned this afternoon and we had quite a cheerful visit. She and her father staid to dinner, went to chapel, played in parlor afterwards and finally we all accompanied her to trolly about 8.30 and gave her a rousing good send off - I said good-bye to Mildred and went to bed early - I sure do hate to say good-bye for ever to her. 37 1915 Saturday 6, Feb.

Then class drill 7th hour - much twirling of clubs in "anvil chorus". No mail today!! Went over to Davison 8th hour and off campus to Slosh's and Flag Shop. After dinner danced a bit and received comforting assurance from Gay that I "am awfully good to her".

"Libby", "spooney" and "Pete" came over before dinner and made me promise to come over to Davison afterwards but I felt too "[ruiny]" and merily left a note on his door and fled.

This afternoon I went over to Marjory's room and heard all about the prom "teddy" was in bed and we fooled around, ate apples and I returned to devour McClures - "the Honey Bee" and "K" are rather interesting but not especially original in their (predicted) endings - 47 1915 Tuesday 16, Feb. This afternoon after 6th hour Gay and I decided to have our grand "spree" before swearing off frivolity during lent. We accordingly went down to the Flag Shop and ordered a luscious feast. Raced over to grocery store and got olives, crackers, and stuff for cheese dreams - we had supper in Gay's room - tea et cetera and about 9.30 made Cheese Dreams - they were good. Edith Sturgis (gay's new room-mate) also helped us consume them but Gay and I had about 5 apiece! Such food as dreams are made of! 48 Feb.

Lovely day - Washington's birthday but all stores open - we shopped - (I got yarn for rose colored sweater for Marion) and went into Woods for lemonade and nut-bread sandwiches.

Up for breakfast and cleaned out desk and wrote M. Collat- a distingue letter. Felt incapable of the art of epistolary so didn't do more letters but read Atlantic monthlies and letters of R.L.S. (second vol.) started to read Hamlet over for second time. A soph. table put a gorgeous light green snake into their salad for "Libby" to serve and of course all screamed and had the best little time hence on. After supper Miss Raymond cornered the culprits - much evasion - I went for a walk with H.A.D. before chapel and to Dark Music. Gorgeous day - absolutely - and in dark mmusic the full, new moon lighted up one of the large windows in an inimitable eerieness - tendency towards sentimentality? Not a bit scientific - Gay came back from N.Y. with food and D.I. but I felt cross and fled to study chem. 60 March Monday 1, 1915 Class drill this afternoon - very strenuous. Excepted my Posture Excuse for class drill last week!! Went over to see Valerie Shannon afterwards. She seems anxious enough for company - made all sorts of dates. Dressed for dinner - with Genevieve - dear girl - hard time studying this evening - worn out from class drill, I guess - food in Gay's room about 10 - Wonderful moon but no one seemed to be as moon struck as I and wouldn't go for a walk - 61 1915 Tuesday 2, March 6th Soph Lit. and 7th went to flag shop for food with Valerie and ate it on steps Of [couvered ient] way side house.

Moonlight Sonata: Conveyed distinct impressions to me. On the whole very gratifying and not at all disappointing. Kinder Stucke - : delightful. Especially ["Traumerei"] prelude etc: weird and not as easily understood. Three Inventions: [nice]. Etude: queer but melodious. Ballade: " and comprehensible. Encores by Chopin, 63 1915 Thursday 4, March Looked up at chapel to-night and saw Dot Perry - such a surprise! Saw her afterwards - she expects to stay until Monday - with Mildred. Seems prettier and wiser than ever. Changed room (Swake) all around with bed in front of window which gives a wonderful view of Moon at night. Also [imported] desk. Grace thereupon copies my idea and plants her furniture in exactly the same way! Oh mores, oh tempora! Penalty of independence, I'm afraid. [map of room]64 March Friday 5, 1915 Walked downtown with Gay and Grace 7th and 8th and shopped and went to Woods for sandwiches and cool drinks and walked by Hooker Ave - and reached College in time for dinner!Good Time! But all very much exhausted - I went to a reading of "Othello" to our Soph. Lit. class by Miss [Seville] in [3oo L. Anne Sevaers] room. "Very rapid play" and very exhausting. Left Perry at 310 where I arrived - also Mildred. Dear girls both and so nice to me. After reading R- went down to Gay's room for hot soup and there distinguished myself by spilling a cup over my left hand and getting horribly scalded - much pain - but Gay, being a doctor's daughter, had everything at hand and bandaged me beautifully - tendency toward faint? 65 1915 Saturday 6, March 10.30 up for breakfast in [Candy] kitchen and met Bob and Peggy on campus and after usual salutations hurried over to gym to get tickets for to-night - not especially good ones. Snow and dismal weather. I did french, english for Tuesday and accomplished altogether quite a bit in the way of studies. Dot Perry and Mildred came for dinner tonight and it [reeurs] very nice to see them. Grace as usual very childish and de trop. I would like to have seem more of Dot but the little was very satisfactory. "Candida" was charming - last was disappointing by the rest lovely. Morell and C- nice but personally didn't rave over Marchbank's [alelio] she was a good feminine personification of his character [ wintime] wept. I confess I didn't take it that way altho I do adore Shaw. 66 March Sunday 7, 1915 got up about 8.30 and went to Two Pine Villa for waffle breakfast - mere 3rd and fourth arrivals! (Grace and I) Waited on corner in wet snow storm for car and Edith - Saw M.P.A go by in car to met Bob and go across River to New Paltz for dinner with Howard and Gert. I read Dostoejevsky's "Crime and Punishment" all day and wrote letters and had miserable time with hand.

Clinton house but found it closed for repairs so we walked the rest of the way into business section and ["rubbered"] at all the shop-windows. Beginning at "Lucky's" shopped all down street - got back in time for dinner. After chapel did french and Peter the Great. Went to Doctor's office for hand and she bandaged it beautifully. Feels considerably better but is very bad still - got an excuse from gym this week. Much satisfaction. 68 March Tuesday 9, 1915 After 6th hour class Gay and I went to the Flag Shop and to see the Wanamaker Collection of gowns etc. at "Two Pine Villa" very poor - Then to the Russian lecture by Prof. Lextor on Moscow very good; and bought materials for cheese dreams - This evening was devoid of work so I read and knitted and later made cheese dreams and gradually a whole mob [footed] in to get some. Helen Shaw, Mary Bacon, [Jeu}, Anne, Dot, Grace and Jean! I left early and got to bed by 10.30 - feeling very cross but the Dreams were good - Went to Doctor's office for hand - better. 69 1915 Wednesday 10, March Lab. very easy this morning - mail - letter from J.S.M (answered at noon) danger of scarlet fever imminent - also a delightful letter from Miss [Tilley] urging our coming West this summer. Quiz fourth hour was a cinch. Then [] Lit. and 7th I read "The Life of Man" by Andreiev - A weird thing and has a harried effect on me the rest of the day. Went to lecture by Madame Rosika Schwimmer of Hungary, 8th hour with Dot Ferris - much dramatic screaming and pathetic minutes and quaint broken english and a few jokes. Rather a feminist speech after all. We young women of America were asked to do all to stop war! Dinner with Lucile Miller very painful - went over to see M.P.A - disappointing visit - Saw Vanity Fair and letters.70 March Thursday 11, 1915 Cut classes this morning - was ill and wickedly and shamelessly spent day in bed and wrote letters and other trivial things - went to doctor's office to-day and she removed bandages entirely - this afternoon spent in reading "Crime etc." and languishing on various couches - went down to dinner and also to chapel for simple reason of not knowing the history assignment for tomorrow. Went over to see M- who with a bunch of others cut chapel - was in Suzanne's room - we laid on the couch, sang favorite hymns and looked at Vogues - returned to R- to go to to bed early - 9.30 such an accourance - went to sleep learning a sonnet of Wm. Shakespeare's!!!!71 1915 Friday 12, March Lab.[blowing] good! Went to vocational conference this afternoon at 4.00 with [Genn]- Lalcott Williams spoke on "Journalism", Arthur Dean on "Education" and J. Franklin Paris on "Interior Decorating" - ! Very good - Dinner a bore - I detest open tables - Anne and I went to song recital by Charles Clark - baritone of world fame. He was a lamb, absolutely - Especially nice were his french song and Homer's "Prospice, How's MY Boy" etc. Returned to Raymond Anne, [Ge] and I went up to D's room and played Victrola - [Geune] left early but after the "Kin" stage, 10.30 or so Anne and I returned to try "Just a Little Love, A little kiss" over again and read Cosmopolitan. At 1.00 A.M. We made a forage for food - got home from Gay's room and felt happy again. 72 March Saturday 13, 1915 Up for breakfast and spent morning in French prose, Main wards for food and money and Vain trip to White's for pictures with M.P.A. Plans for walk to town cut short by same with news of my imperative attendance at tea at S. Moores - about 2.30 M and I started [sleyad] a bit, took So. car and reache Moores soon - delightful hospitable welcome - Mrs. M. so very nice and cordial - delicious "eats", nice people and "Peggy" Simpson, Patti's sister [all to be - 1920] - a dear.

Left about 5. Supper very prosaic. Played [Din] in D's room about 7.30 and Eleanor has again informed us of the rules! I have suspicions - Grace arrived about 9.30 with hat and tales of N.Y. I read "Loves Labout Lost" amid much conversation and eating of pine apples in Anne's room and finally about 5 min. to 12 was ready for bed-74 March Monday 15, 1915 Woke at 10 minutes to eight! so of course no breakfast and I decided rush for 1st hour class. Very busy outlook from now on to vacation. Will make time go quicker how ever. Helen Arthur and I, deciding to go downtown, left right after lunch - shopped up and down and looked at hats, went to "movies" - one film a trifle risque and another Roselyn started beautifully with a tantalizing view of a satin slipper! ("Naomi Childers"right good)- then hurried back to college - I found that "funk" in on the scene - around at one and M- had brought things over - thrills - G. Lyon and Bessie Callow came to dinner with me and after chapel "Sis" and Gertrude brought the [tur] girls of S.B. over to see me - right attractive75 1915 Tuesday 16, March Have three seats for "Chin chin" Evening of March 26th Will be looking for seats for you both - Best [wish} [C--luck]82 March Tuesday 23, 1915 Ethics elective next year!

Several V.C. girls there. Then shopped! 3 waists at Stewarts - Shoes at [Camigers] - hat at Bonwit and Tellers - dresses at Franklin Simons' s (met cousin Anne) more gowns at Altmans and skirts. Returned to hotel to pack and left in taxi for Belmont where we had luncheon with Aldricks and then went to matinee with Ruth and college friend, "The White Feather"- very clever and amusing. War plot. Then shopped a bit and in stores met Harriet Katz! Many shrieks and embraces. Left Carrie there - she certainly is a dear to chaperone us. "[Telluk] and Noreen Marsh took us out to dinner and dancing at church - bills. We just made the 11.30 train - tired of course but after a wonderful time in N. Y. one always is. 1915 Sunday 28, March Home at 10.55 - Breakfast at Richland - stroll at H2O town [Watertown].

Went to W.L.March Wednesday 31, 1915 Much snow -/ Busy -/ having good time./ Went to Wonderland/ this evening with "Tim" -/ who condescendingly called not very exciting - mostly raved of future life and St. Law. This P.M. Miss Dean took us over to see the new H.S. It's a Beauty - thru & thru. [Finished] much like new art building at College.1915 Thursday 1, April Sewing and much business. This evening "Tim" took [me] and [Louise] C., Bessie & Hugh [Peggy] & Morris - "Lobby" to a ...masquerade in ... More arm fun - "Tim" being around constantly. I wonder if he is getting a case - dances well but not a la mode ... doesn't improve a bit - I tried to hammer a few such ... into his head but failed, I'm afraid - We all went over to Jerry's for lunch after wards - Much soft snow on ground - [Disgusting] weather: absolutely. April Friday 2, 1915 Very busy with superintending of sewing all day. In afternoon tea for Bessie. This evening unexpected phone for [Leo? Lea?] - who later came up also "Tim" - but the latter refused to come in and was alto-gether grumpy - he demanded Sun. night or [none] and I think it only fair to ask for it. Misunderstanding on both parts. [J.L.M] not at all exciting but rather prosaic. I frankly got sleepy. 1915 Saturday 3, April Lea at Bun's this P.M. fortune telling and sewing. Pat came up this evening. ...& Erwin Miller arrived on their motorcycle from Malone, then went with us to the rehearsals of the minstrel show - quite droll in parts - "dragged" in others.

Very interesting. She knows a lot about it for one whose specialty in something else. I wrote letters and studied this afternoon. Prosaic life - but beautifully busy. Went to the Glynn's this evening. Afterwards read "Smart Set"* till 2.30 and then tried to study but couldn't do much of course. *The Smart Set was a literary magazine founded in America in March 1900 by Colonel William d'Alton Mann. Under the editorship of H.L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan, The Smart Set offered many up-and-coming authors their start and gave them access to a relatively large audience.1915 Friday 9, April Letter from [J.L.M or T.L.M.] this A.M. - very sweet.

We went back to college and Lil and I went to Mary Elizabeth's for tea and then "...". Rode back to college on front seat of an open car - we both like lots of things in common. She ... [italian or latvian] & A.T.O.s very well. It started to rain after chapel so I didn't go to "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy" but read Snappy Stories.* Went to spread in Anne's room and knitted. Thunder & lightning later on. *The first issue of Snappy Stories was published in August 1912 under the direction of William C. Clayton.

May you have a very happy 1915 - is the wish of ... Aunt Mollie 212 July Friday 31 1914 Peter came up. Talked over Pleasant Lake and Tupper Lake trip.213 1914 Saturday 1 August Pleasant Lake in Hugh's car. With Harry, George C., Mr. Starbuck and Peter. 214 August Sunday 2 1914 A swim - a row - a talk!215 1914 Monday 3 August Fished all day but had no luck. Peter and i explored mus bay in the "gebstar". Nancy caught 1 pickerel and one bullhead in Loon Island. Peter and I talked till late. Poor deluded Peter! He will insist upon forcing his affections on me and i just can't make him realized that I'll never marry him.216 August Tuesday 4 1914 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.217 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!218 August Thursday 6 1914 Home from Lake at 6 p.m. Band concert with Peter and Wonderland afterward. Got a letter from Cac in which she said that there was no room at Aunt Gay's for me. I don't know whether I can go or not. It all depends on how the thing works out.219 1914 Friday 7 August 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. So much for first impressions and 8-7-14220 August Sataurday 8 1914 Left Gouverneur at 10 A.M. Arrived at Malone about 1:30 P.M. Dinner at the Flannagan Hotel. Started for Tupper. Stopped at Paul Smith's and at Saranac Lake. It is the most beautiful ride up the mts that I've ever seen. In some places we road [rode] right through forests for miles along the most twisty beautiful roads. Went past "Pine Hurst", "Bull point", Camp "Ihi", "Camp Iroquois" etc. Got to Tupper about 7 P.M. In the evening we went to "The Palace" and got some soda water. In bed about 11:30 P.M.221 1914 Sunday 9 August Con and I got up at 7:30 A.M. - had breakfast at 8 A.M. and waited for the boys till about 10 A.M! Went to Hiawatha Lodge for dinner - a lovely spot on Spectkle [Spectacle] lakes. Harry Bockus and I slipped out while the rest were singing and got a canoe and went exploring. Found loads of water lilies and got back to find that Pete has lost his Beta pin. Got home about 6 P.M. and started right off again toward Litchfield park on the most beautiful road - all twisting and turning. Had supper at a Wakeska Lodge, where we broke the bridge but had a good laugh. Home about 9 P.M. Went up to [Ormiston's]. Had a grand fight all around and parted on none too good terms. So much for 8-9-14 222 August Monday 10 1914 Left Tupper Lake at 9 A.M. Had a beautiful ride down arriving in Saranac Lake at 10:30 A.M. Left the car in the garage and Hugh and I wandered around the town while Pete and Harry fixed it. Peter and I had lunch at the St. Regis. Left Saranac lake about 2 P.M. - Had a puncture just this side of Paul Smith's and were held up on the road by construction work. Ran into some rain the other side of Malone. I sat in front with Harry while Hugh and Peter composed "ballads" for our benefit. "We're going to Malone!To Flannagan's Home!" In Malone had dinner with the boys and then went up to Aunt Mollie's till 9 P.M. when we started home. Got on bad road but finally got as far as Potsdam when bang! and thereby hangs a tale! I curled up on the front seat and slept while the boys fixed the puncture. We were held there 2 hours and just as we all crawled in223 1914 Tuesday 11 August and went about 200 yds. Bang! went the tire again! Hugh and I walked in to town hunting for a telephone. Finally we saw the policeman and he let us in the hotel to telephone Mother. Just after that the boys came along in the car. We waited till about three then the Baker came and let us have some eats. After that we all went back to the car and curled up and slept. Hugh on the back seat, Peter in front, Harry on the Wonderland step. Hugh and I took the 6:28 train here and I went to bed till 4 P.M! Went to wonderland with Mother and Charles - and I'm going to bed now.224 August Wednesday 12 1914 Went on a cornroast with Tom Marshal's cousin whom I did not like! It was the stiffest affair that I ever attended. The people did not even sing with half a heart. Everyone was there. Jess Mc D. Murray H. Helena Bob Gert Babe Issy Tom Ruth Abbott Poke Bun Harold Miss Hatmaker Ed. Mills V. Fuller Mr. Bacon Peg Mr. Marshal Eats Corn Hot dogs Marshmellows [marshmallows]225 1914 Thursday 13 August Washed and ironed all the A.M to get ready for the river. In the evening Ed. Mills came up and took me down to hear the band concert. Then to Wonderland, the Tea room and home- Pat was up to see Con and they seemed to be having a scrap all the evening. In the afternoon, Nancy, Mrs. S, Con., Mother, Charles, Robt & I went up to Sylvia for a swim. I learned to do side stroke.226 August Friday 14 1914 Busy all the A.M. getting ready for the river trip. in the afternoon Ruth came to take me for a ride with Tobe and Gert- In the evening I stayed at home except for a trip down town after some of life's necessities! I got a dear letter from Bob to-day and feel like a criminal to think that I've not written him before- He is a dear and cares a lot about me and I am not agoing to hurt him again. If I can help him I will do so. Pete never called up to say good-by- I shall tell him a few things Tuesday if I see him.227 Left Gouverneur bag and baggage on the 8 A.M. train for Ogdensburg. Ogdensburg 11-2pm. Visited Mrs. irving and Frank store. On the boat down met Bad. And he stuck the rest of the time. Took me to the dance in the evening where I had a good time with Howard Potter. Walked home over the sticks and stones and 1 A.M. In bed about 1.10![228] Trimmed all day down at Brown's. The House looks awfully pretty now that it is done- A big screen of Vanity and Queen Anne's Lace as a background- And holihocks [hollyhocks] up the stairway. And Vanity on the lights from which we hung a shower of Balsam blossoms. Gert looked adorable- white satin- a little castle cap trimmed with orange blossoms. They were adorable during the cermony [ceremony] and when he kissed her and turned around- Then we went in to supper. Pat Mason-ring. M. Babesek-money. Mrs Smith-thinble. We followed Gert w A's car and sang "Here Comes the Bride". M.B. and Das were up to see ... & I afterward- Played '21!231 1914 Wednesday 19 August Got down the river about 2 p.m- And went up to Jone's Creek and Bay with the Potters in the White Otter. In the evening Tunk was up to see me- Sat on the rock and talked- and talked- and talked- I don't see why men have to spoil everything by getting serious about me right off almost as soon as they know me at all. 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. Girls are always looking out for rivals -- 232 August Thursday 20 1914 picnic at Allee's Dock. Tunk and I went for a canoe ride for about an hour- He likes me- I can see it in his eyes and it makes me glad and sad - I want him to like me because I like him but I don't want to fall in love yet for a while and i don't want him to do so either. 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. Tunk and I talked- and talked and talked - out on the rocks right near the water and the moon paths.233 1914 Friday 21 August Loafed all day- In the evening Tunk was up- I like him more all the time - He's so good and big and blundering - and honest - He couldn't fib if he tried - We sat on the rocks right out in front of the cottage until about twelve o'clock - looking at the starts and exchanging confidences - He like me - almost love me now but will he later? That is the question - and a big one - I hated to see Tunk go to-night for it means the end of all our good talky times to-gether - tomorrow will be different --234 August Saturday 22 1914 Staid in all day- Tunk, Helen and Mrs P were over for a minute to say good-bye. 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!235 1914 Sunday 23 August 23,'14 Up about 12 A.M to find Kit Douglas, Ned, Murray McGregor and Cy Sammons stranded down on the front porch-- They staid until about 1:30 and then started back as soon as the river calmed down a little. A hamper came from home and I got a letter from Bob -- a business like affair with no thrill in it at all-- Played cards all the P.M. and evening-- In bed about 10:30 P.M. [Hump] - quite tame for Sunday night. 236 August Monday 24 1914 Up about 11 A.M. - Over for mail at 12 A.M where we saw Maurice, Mr. Taylor, Blanch and Edity - no mail - Home for dinner - In the evening Dot, Constance and I went for a row - Ran on a shoal - Came home. In the afternoon - Family squabble over bathing suits after which Const., Mother and Cha. left [in] state while Dot, Marion and I talked -- So says G.S.B's wedding cake after seven nights! E.L.M.237 1914 Tuesday 25 August 25 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-!238 August Wednesday 26 1914 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.239 1914 Thursday 27 August Up early to keep my promise to meet Tunk at 11.A.M. We sat on the dock and talked - and talked and talked - Then ate dinner to-gether -- got some ice ice the "White Otter" Ten went for a walk- Found a wonderful spot on Sucker's Creek -- an abandoned river bed -- where we looked at fossils -- and smiled at each other -- and watched the rest of the bunch looking for cottage sites! We girls had a supper with Helen and Tunk at the Hotel -- a ride to Hammond, Tunk, Blanch, Helen, Marion, Constance and I, after hot dogs- a corn roast in front of the cottage- ate, then lay on the rock & talked- Blanch, Helen, Clady, Morris, Tunk, Helen, Lillian, Ed--sat there till 2 A.M. Tunk and I disagreed and he went home with Blanch. Br-r-r-r-r-r-r- Helen staid here all night. In bed about 3 A.M.240 August Friday 28 1914 Got up about 3 A.M. Had breakfast then went over to the dock where Helen, Marion and Constance were in swimming- Clady, Morris, Tunk and Ed came over too and we sat and talked on the dock. Finally everybody left but Tunk and myself and we sat and quarreled on the end of the dock till about 12. Helen and Tunk left about 2 P.M. for Hammond. Constance and I, Clady, Morris & Ed. went over in the car for films and ran into H & H at the ice cream parlor. "Good-bye" again and we left for O.P. in swimming at 5 P.M. In bed at 10:30 P.M241 1914 Saturday 29 August Up at 7 A.M - packed - Swept and mopped the camp - Girls left on the none oclock boat and we came later in the car picking them at Morristown.

I wouldn't let him say good-bye but told him to telephone to-morrow. Tunk here all the evening. I heard much about "Jim"-- more about last summer and -- my failure to write this fall.

Spent the afternoon doing German dep't work. It occurred to me while working that it would be great fun to go home this week end. Thurs. Feb 1 Did more German dep't work. Received for F. German. Got my first leave of absence from Miss Landon at noon in North. Fri. Feb 2. F. German (drama course) exam. first hour in 19. A very nice exam. Took the mail & then packed my suit case and left at 12.50. Evelyn Noble rode with me to Yonkers. I reached home between 4 and 5. Papa came to the door and when he saw me said "Sh. Go in and sit down and I'll speak to Mrs. Ordway." So I did. Mama came down thinking to find a saleswoman and was greatly astonished to find me. It was great fun to surprise them. This A.M. I rec'd a letter from home. [Yesterday was Claire's promotion day. She left Miss Keylor and now has Miss Smallstick for her teacher. Mrs. Pugsley spent the day at 25 West End Ave. yesterday. My Teachers Training class is organized with 28 members. Isn't that splendid! "Mama has 10 in her mission study class." "Now I suppose this week is examinations2 1912. and remember your failing say what you mean and make no mistakes." Papa enclosed the last two bulletins.] - [ I told the family I loved Dr. Baldwin yesterday as a woman, for the first time. She gave me my 7th serum injection. I told her my plan for surprising my family and she said "That's right. Go home every chance you get."]. Claire was delighted to see me and exclaimed "Now I can have somebody to sleep with me." We had early supper and I enjoyed some of goodies of yesterday's entertainment for Mrs. Pugsley. We also retired early. I was just taking down my hair preparatory to retiring when the door bell rang. Papa got out of bed and went to the door. There stood James Stewart and Miss whom he is visiting in New York. Papa showed them to the parlor and the entire Ordway family then made a record in dressing and soon appeared. We had a splendid visit. Miss knows Sanborn in 1915. Sat. Feb. 3 Mama, Claire and I went downtown, did some errands and at 1.p.m. Claire had her 3rd violin lesson in the studio of Mr. just beyond Hahnes. There are ten in the class. I met Mr. who told me a little3 1912. about the violin. I did some mending. Papa and I staid up and talked college. I got some information from him and from mama as to my family tree. He and I looked over the 1884 class book. He gave me Mr. Belknap's name who lives in Poughkeepsie. Sun Feb. 4. Went to church. Papa preached on this text. "Be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the spirit. I surprised the church people too. Mr. Axt played two violin selections and the singing was particularly good. Packed my suit case. Had chicken and biscuits for dinner. My, how good (I have had muffins, chocolate sponge and gelatine jelly since I have been home, in addition to bananas & peanut salad, and potato salad). Left home about 2 pm. Papa went to the car with me. Arrived in Grand Central 3.40. Left 4.03. Sat with Mrs. Acheson Lyons from Yonkers who knows a 1915 girl from Hudson Ann Kennedy. Reached college about 6.30.

[We have an inheritance of a land rich in material resources, liberty which you have done nothing to gain, though I lived through the Civil War and did66 1912. what I could at that time. You have exceptional educational facilities. When I was a boy of 13 years of age I was ready for college, standards then weren't as high then as they are now, and my father gave me the choice of his paying $500.00 a year for my college expenses or giving me that amount each year for 4 years putting it in the bank and I go into business at once. I chose college and I'm glad I did. I have a great deal of respect for Vassar College but it can't give you an education. All it or the faculty can do is to open the door and say "go in". You have the most beautiful library I have ever seen and I have seen the libraries of Yale, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin. There is Plato and Aristotle waiting to talk to you about Philosophy, there is Browning and Wordsworth waiting to talk to you about poetry. This library is your inheritance. What will you do with it? What are you doing with it? You have a Collection of Hebrew literature in the Bible. I can understand the girl who says I want to know it and have it a lamp to my feet and a guide to my path, I can understand the girl wih says I don't believe it but the girl I can't understand is the girl who says I don't care. God has given us the heathen for our inheritance. I can't understand why a man who has the chance of being a college67 1912. President wants to be Pres. of the U.S. and make laws when he might make men. The most beautiful sight I know is a holy family with the little children clustered around the mother looking up into her eyes and getting her courage and teaching.

I said that I didn't have but two or three books here that are not study books. I don't have time to read them. Oh I do she replied. I keep them to pick up when I'm tired.] If she, a Freshmen gets time to read, play, swim, go walking, have a good time, write poems for the Miscellany why do I, a Junior, not have even more time for reading etc and study even better as a result?

Lilias said (I remember the first time I saw you. I had heard about you how you were wild about college, wanted to know peoples names and addresses, & what they were going to do. I said there's a woman with some sense, I found out you had a sense of humor and I liked you.) Reflected after in bed on the quality of my present friendships. I like to lead. I hate to butt in. Everyone has some good trait. But I want to learn to know these girls84 1912. who can teach me and from whom I can gain socially. Lucy Penniman, Frances Jewell and Ann Van Winkle from Strong. Agnes Wilson, Ruth Holliday, from Lathrop, Victoria Searle, Sylvia Conant, Sydnor Walker from North, Alma Klippel, Marguerite Elvin from Davison and Gladys Bassett, Elizabeth Ingersoll, Bobs Worcester, Elizabeth Holloway, Peg Wead, Dorothy Williams, Eleanor Greenberg, Peg Ruddiman, Louise Boynton, Albertina Pitkin, Evelyn Noble, Betsy Baldwin, Myra Williams, Elsie Bogert, from Raymond. I made a mistake in taking in Pittsford Anna Mann for a friend. I had nothing to gain from her and the result of the friendship was in loss, a giving on my part, with no receiving socially and with a distinct loss in the loss of a [form] friendship with my own class of people, the high school boys and girls my own age, Helen Agate, Una Hutchinson, Margaret Becker, Mary Grump, Ruth Doane, Charlie Wadhams, Chester Reed, Howard Bacon, Alice Kitchen. I was content to drift with the good and handy which was easy to have instead of being alert and persistent in getting the best I could have. We had our own horse and carriage and 85 1912. drove by ourselves, and enjoyed ouselves together a happy, home-loving family, devoted to each other but a bit selfish because our happiness demanded only our four selves to be complete. Papa's college mates were faraway. Those that did live in the city (Rochester) he never came in close touch with, no family friends but Cassie Smith, Mrs. Barker, Mary Thornell and Sarah Barker came in and Mr. Todd and no one of these demanded and obtained from us our best efforts. Mamma entertained beautifully I wonder if the entertainment was too carefully planned, so the individuality of the company was repressed. Exciting discussions of current topics seem to be a minus quantitiy either we don't follow them closely enough or other things are of more importance to us, or we don't make the effort. I am like papa in being careless about my ordinary appearance, but like him my best clothes are becoming and I can look nice. It's so easy to not be spick and span absolutely clean, just as you ought to be. I am also careless of the little, but important social courtesies. Don't talk about yourself like A.R. does but learn how to be an interesting86 1912. conversationalist. Don't talk all the time like A.R. does, let a lull come occasionally. Don't with an apparent show of modesty, tell the big things that have happened to you. (may be an assistant, highest standing, etc.) "Strengen Sie Sich ein bischen an", Gretta, and find out how to be socially agreeable and before it is forever too late make a firm, frindship with a girl who will give you something and who will always make you be your best and do your best and appear your best in every way. You are lazy, Gretta Ordway, you are also a slow poke and you are unjust to your excellent physique in not being an athletic (and an excellent athlete) girl. Why don't you play the piano, recite, use your talents. Why haven't you been a tutor all this year, earning money and winning praise and admiration from faculty and your friends like Lucy Penniman has done? Know your own mind, have decision of character. Get the best, not the good. June 9, 1912. [in margin] Get it. Katherine Gretta Ordway V.C. 1913, the best is yours, if you will have it. 87 1912. Sun. June 9.

"Mobility and transmissibility" were the keynotes of his lecture. 1912 repeated its Maypole dance at 6.30 and the spade was presented to Lucy Penniman by Elinor Prudden on Rockefeller steps. After the lecture Dorothy Williams, Margaret Wead & I went over by the chapel and saw part of 1910's ceremonies for their new tree. They marched over to 1908's tree, took their 1910 banner and went back to their own tree each girl carrying a sparkler. They looked lovely. 1912 gave some songs to 1914 on Strong steps and each 1912 girl had a stick with a lighted Japanese lantern. They marched from Strong to Rockie and sang there then filed off the steps by twos in a long line, gave their lanterns to 1914 who marched back with them and they went to the north side of Main.

Henrietta and I got a good seat in the gallery and I staid all through the commencement exercises which were fine, the gifts to the College are generous, the 6 speakers did finely and I love Vassar more and feel my own unworthiness more. Will I belong among the honored ones of 1913 next year? Will a star be after my name for honor work on the commencement program next year? Went down to get the 3.44 but it didn't leave till 4.30 P.M.
