Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I spent several hours this morning working on a history topic--causes of the Civil War, and then I came home and spent one hour working on elections. Sophomores have to hand in, in addition, a schedule of sequential study, showing the courses in their majors and minors, for the next two years. It is some mess. Everything conflicts with everything else. To make matters worse, I just found out that Miss Thompson, whose course in American History since 1850 I was planning to take Senior year, will be away on leave that year. And next year her course comes the same hour as French Rev. It is some mess. Moreover, the history department has just made a new ruling which goes into force next year to the effect that no student taking only one semester of a one yar course can count that course toward her major. That makes matters worse. It is some mess.
The Seniors are having their prom this week-end.
I called on Miss Cowley last night. It was about time. She was out.
Otherwise there is nothing new.
Love, Fannie
