1883] Third Trip to Europe 



toned to go in swimming with them. But it was refreshing to 

 be with a professor who could afford to dispense with dignity, 

 who could adapt himself to us in any circumstances. He was 

 at once our teacher, companion, and friend. Inwoven with 

 the memories of this trip will ever remain his sympathy for us, 

 his infinite patience, and his knowledge to which we never 

 applied in vain. 



[In June of this present year (1920), at the Cen- 

 tennial celebration of Indiana University, six of 

 the twelve living members of the class of '83 met 

 for a memorial breakfast at the fine Bloomington 

 home of Ben F. Adams, one of their number, the 

 others being Juliet Maxwell, Minta Sims, Joseph 

 Swain, Goodwin, and Edwin Corr. At this reunion 

 I was the welcome guest, and old experiences were 

 there enthusiastically rehearsed.] 



When college closed, I went abroad again, tak- 

 ing Swain and Curry as helpers an arrangement 

 which gave me considerable freedom for museum 

 study, and which started Curry on his later career 

 as camp manager in the Yellowstone Park and 

 Yosemite Valley. In this he was very successful, 

 No one, moreover, who visited the famous "Camp f tbe . 

 Curry'* while it was still under his direction can 

 ever forget his commanding presence and majestic 

 voice, which at the rising hour reverberated through 

 the valley, earning him the unique title of "Stentor 

 of the Yosemite." He died in 1917. His widow, 

 who (as Jennie Foster) was likewise a member of 

 the geological party of 1883, and their son Foster 

 now manage the camp, undoubtedly the largest 

 mountain caravansary in existence.
