We Dine. First snow. Dull.
Cloudy & sunny by turns. Ground white
with snow in early morning but it all
disappeared before noon. Very chilly day.
  Spent forenoon in Museum writing
letters & working on Bittern article.
Sent sketches of Whistlers to Fuertes to copy.
Mrs Grenfell, her mother Mrs. O'Clanachon
& her aunt with an odd name lunched
with us at 1.30. The mother & aunt
spent most of P.M. in Museum where I
showed them a lot of birds & eggs.
  We had our first We Dine meeting
this evening at Tom Barbour's at
Chestnut Hill. Everyone there but
Goodale & Batchy [Charles Foster Batchelder]. The latter went to
New York to be with Dwight whose
father died on Monday & was buried
to-day. A Blue Jay the only bird
noted in our Garden to-day.

Cambridge - Boston
Harvard Reception
Ther. [Thermometer] Thurs. [Thursday] Dec. 1, 1910 [December 1, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Education Com. [Education Committee] meet Sargent. Fair
Partly cloudy, largely sunny. Cool
with light W. [west] wind.
  Worked in Museum on Golden-eye article
until 11.45 when I went to Boston.
Lunched at Bunch O'Grapes & called on
Tom Motley in his office. Reached our
office at 12.50. Committee on Education
consisting of Arthur, Mackintire & I, 
met at 1 to hear H.E. Sargent
explain & defend the expulsion of a boy
from our school because he declined to serve
as "monitor" to report who does & does not
attend church. Sargent made his point
of view very clear but it did not appeal to
me nor to either of my colleagues I thought.
Estabrook had to leave at 2 however, &
we came to no decision at this meeting.
I then went to Cunard office to see about
sailing next spring. Next to bird store
where I got aquarium plants. Home at 5 P.M.
  C. [Caroline Brewster] & I went to reception at Harvard Union
this evening (9-11) & we both enjoyed it.
I talked chiefly with Mr. & Mrs.Tom Barbour,
Miss Hopper. Spoke with Mr. Lowell & many
others briefly.
