Fine
Clear & oppressively warm with light
S.W. [southwest] wind.
  Spent entire forenoon going over
Academy grounds with Haley planning
various changed & improvements with
regard to trees & shrubs especially.
The Brown dormitory is approaching
completion. We went through it
yesterday with Judge Abbott who is 
justly proud of it.
  In afternoon motored with the
Haleys in their new Ford car to the
Libby Museum a wondrously beautiful
building standing 3 miles out of town
by the Lake Shore. Dr. Libby received
us there & showed us his very interesting
collection of miscellaneous curios. He is
an original & interesting man. His
collection of birds & eggs only trifling.
Kept on almost to Melvin village to
call at Edgerly Farm. Crossed bridge
where I caught big pickerel about 1860.
Almost all the teachers called this
evening & I had pleasant talks with them.

Breathlessly calm & very warm starlit
night with migrating Thrushes & Warblers
calling overhead every few seconds.
