In Winter Quarters 



mountain mysteries and the journeys 

 of the moons of Jupiter. And, if I 

 remember correctly, at Cornell I actu- 

 ally came through my "spherical trig" 

 exam, with the one "cum laude" 

 mark of my brief course of study at 

 that institution. I am inclined to think 

 that I had more real interest in those 

 days in the Varsity crew and the boat- 

 house on the Inlet than in most of my 

 studies on the glorious hill that still 

 looks down upon Cayuga's waves of 

 blue. 



I am surely kin to the African in one 

 respect at least, in that I shall never 

 accumulate a fortune, own a grand 

 house, or show place in the country, 

 because for me sufficient unto the day 

 is the bacon and the meal. That is of 

 course a somewhat extravagant state- 

 ment. I do diifer in certain degree from 

 the Senegambians. I hoe until I can see 

 enough bread and meat in sight for 

 tomorrow and maybe the next day, 

 before I go philandering with Perseus
