March 16 ,1873, Dearest Cara, Tonight finding no absolute necessity for studying, and feeling too lazy to go down stairs and hunt up the paper containing accounts of inaugural ceremonies, I will employ my time agreeable, if not very profitably (?) writing to you, dear— As usual I am raging at the weather. It always happens that right after I have been unusually wrathy upon the subject, it becomes quite pleasant and I am conscience-smitten.</p> However I shall not be so again; I have suffered too much with cold for the last two nights. We pile on all our shawls, in addition to the blankets, have the window down but a trifle, a necessity when six are in one parlor, and yet we lie cramped up all night with aching bones. In the morning, just as we are beginning to grow a little warmer, up we must spring, dress in the cold and go about all day, shivering through the Corridors, shaking at the table, fee. The Chapel seems the only really comfortable place. And yet outdoors today the sun was shining brightly and walking was quite enjoyable. But when a large building once gets cold, there seems no drivingit away again. Sunday. To continue my descourse upon the weather, I can now record a most delightful day. When I awoke this morning I thought I could sunlight not possibly be at Vassar. The bright morning was flooding my room which was fragrant with flowers which had been standing there over night. Andall day I have been reminded of our lovely days In Feb. when the whole grounds are odorous with plum blossoms. The air today does not seem in keeping with the deep cover of snow upon ground. Yesterday Bertha Keffer, a southern girl, and mysef amused ourselves by making a snow man, about a foot high- We labelled him 'Lo! the poor Indian,' I and like little children, enjoyed decking him with green plumes and wands, and sacrilege! we placed a cigar in his mouth. Today I went to enquire after his health, but ah, where he had before smiled upon us, nothing now remains but a heap of soft snow. Can you make a moral for this sad tale? What an amusing time you all must have had when the roof blew off! fit I had beea there I think Papa would not have beea able to say that the gentleman outran all the ladies, for I am not as brave as Texas ought to be. Miss Lough, one of my parlor-mates, and myself are reading aloud "Off the Skelligs," and taking it all in all like it very weU. It has been so harshly criticised that I wan prepared to be disappointed in it, but notagreeably so, as I have been. Really, I have never had such an easy time, in regard to study, as this semester. If It were not for essays, it would all be delightful I was all prepared to give you a good scolding, yesterday when your letter came, and appeased me half as well as a peep at your dear face would have done. Just think, Carrie, I hope to be at home on your next birthday. won't that be fine? Mir lleben sie Drutefi Geben sie meine JLiebe alleren. Lovingly Julie

That night the juniors first sang on the steps of Strong and then when they began to march to chapel, four or Dear Papa, - It is almost time to go to bed, but I guess I will have to write to you. Our lessons have really begun now, that is we have been to all our classes, but we can’t do much work until our books come. Please don’t think I am crazy if I ask for your old Latin dictionary, but all the girls have big ones and I thought Mama could put it in the hamper when she sends it up. They say the old ones are nicer than the new, because they give more idioms. Please tell Mamma to put my old blue bed spread and my blue curtains in the hamper too. I want to put the curtains over the trunk. Then if either you or Mamma will look in my book-case, in the top left-hand shelf, you will find my “Minna von Barnheim”, I think it is by [Lessing?]. It seems that we have got to read it. I think it is daughter here. She comes from somewhere in Pennsylvania and never speaks that everybody does not laugh. Her name is Beatrice Daw. The other evening Marie Kays, Beatrice and myself were hunting up some rooms in the main building. And whenever we would ask where anyone roomed, they would laugh so hard that they could not tell us. Then a senior has come into the room across the hall from me. She has just graduated from a [train crossing course?] and is awfully cute. She is very nice to all the girls, although they are several years younger than she. Marie Kays is awfully nice and every body likes her. Last night, after dinner most of the College girls sang college songs for about an hour and then we studied. Yesterday morning we all had a hygiene lecture and sometime within the next few days we have all got to be examined. We are on the campus all day and just go back for our meals -- [moved from fourth page] We can study between times in the library and that is where I am now. Mamma will be glad to hear that for our second lesson in English we had to write a composition. Our English instructor is quite pretty and does not look a bit sarcastic. The other evening after chapel, Mrs Kendrick got up to address the girls, and had hardly begun before the electric light wire broke and the whole chapel filled with girls was left in pitch darkness. Some had to hold hands so they would [...] get separated and come out that way. It was quite exciting. I was with one of the girls I met in Physics. I think Physics is going to be quite nice. The professor is terribly stupid & slow but there are some awfully nice girls in there and we have two hours experimental work every two weeks. I have just found a note on my door from a senior who used to be at Dana’s, Miss Newell wrote to her about me and she has invited me to a big entertainment.

Show moreVassar College Po'keepsle Jan. 9th 1866 Dear Mother. I am so tired I can hardly sit up this evening but I know you will be anxous to hear of my welfare so I will exert myself to write a few words at least. You will of course e'er this imagine we are here all right without further information on my part. We suceeded very well in making all the changes and hardly suffered from the cold at all. The only place where I was really uncomfortable was in crossing the river. We reached Newburgh about eight o'clock this morning and found the Hudson solide with no means of taking us across. So we had to walk. Mr Bartlett bundled Mollie and I up so we did not feel the cold very much but we were very glad to reach the station at Fishkill. Mr Bartlett rode out to the College with me but did not stay promising to come again soon. The girls seem delighted to see me. Jennie got here this morning and Nellie that evening. We are having a very unfortunate time here at present which I have been almost inclined to think is because I said so much while home about the delightful way in which the building was heated. The very cold weather and direction of the wind has changed all that and our rooms in common with all the rest Is below freezing temerature. The girls are allowed to go wherever they can make themselves comfortable and 1 am now in the library and Emily studying near. They hope to have it arranged in a few days so that we may be more comfortable but as it now is it add still more to the lonesome, homesick feeling which I will this once at least confess to be very strong. Oh Mother I can hardly realise yet that I have left you for so long except by the choking sensation which has been in my throat all day and whichwould show itself through my eyes sometimes. But I am going to try and stand it six months more though I believe if you should say the word I should be strongly tempted to come home at the end of the five weeks, when the half year will close. Many of the girls think of leaving then I believe if possible. But I might better be in bed than writing what I suppose will do me no good and make you feel worse. I have beea studying this after- noon and expect to go in my classes though 1 can't expect my lessons will be very well prepared for X am so tired that I must go to bed now. I hear Anna Dickinson lectured in P— last week so X shall be disappointed in that. Please send that Photo of myself which I promised Mary Cornell as I forgot it and she has asked for it. Please write soon and as much as you can for my letters will be my greatest consolation. Love to Aunt Emily and all enquiring friends and believe Your ever loving daughter EUen Mollie wanted me to send ever so much love to you all when I wrote.

Like David you have chosen … your own life to serve your generation by the will of God. The generation to come after you will be the better served thereby. I trust that God will spare you to witness the practical & successful operation of the plans you have so generously devised I suppose you have received many suggestions as to the kind of training to be given in the Institution, but I cannot refrain from submitting this to your Consideration, that a depart--ment[department] of instruction in household duties should be established. It is lamentable to think that while custom prescribes a cause of instruction adapted to fit young ladies to perform their [act] gracefully in society, it demands almost nothing to qualify them to preside over the domestic arrangements of the family. I believe that grater[sic] discontent in occasioned in households by the wane of practical knowledge in this aspect than in any other Let us have if need be a little less knwledges[sic] of Latin & Music and a little more of the mode of taking care of a household I bid you God speed my friend in this laudable under-[taking]taking[undertaking] It is a high [brow] to have your name associated in future times with such an enterprise With my kindest regards to Mrs Vassar I remain with great esteem Yrs[yours] etc Wm[William] F.

Most of the "good" members of the class flunked it. That is not to be taken seriously. Millsy seemed much amused when I told him after class I hadn't been able to figure the answer to the question out yet. I went to the Amalgamation Meeting last night. We reduced the nominees for the big offices for next year to two, listened to songs for Alma Maters to replace the awful old one, and discussed the possibility of having our meals served decently. I worked on history for three hours yesterday afternoon. That is the first real work I have been able to accomplish. I am gradually getting caught up with my work. I am eagerly awaiting your Princeton letter, Pete. If you haven't written it yet, please write it. How long does your vacation last? Love, Fannie Hamburger AaronDear Mother; Will you please ask the doctor to give me something effective for my bowels as soon as possible. I have been trying Maltine + Cascara + vaseline, vegetable pills, + what not, ever since I am back, and with no effect. It makes me feel like the dickens and good for nothing all the time. R.S.V.P. as soon as possible. Mother

Four classes and lab is a little too much to go through and expect to feel fresh that evening. Please preserve the enclosed clipping in alcohol. I want it back. Love, Fannie[ca Dec 1920] Dear Mother, I think it will be a very good idea to get the brief case for Father. I have been wondering what to get, and hadn't thought of anything so far. I like to vary it occasionally, and not get books every year. And I do want to get him something, because he is such a kid about his birthday. Can you attend to it at home? I imagine you can do better than I can here--besides which I am some rushed. R. S. V. P. Did you get Lester's note sent through me?Fannie Hamburger Aaron-------------------------—-------------TREAS.
