which I rarely fail to meet. Since the beginning of the college year 

 in September I have had a standing engagement e-very Thursday evening. 

 Dr Birge and I have been meeting our advanced students and reading 

 with them Wallace' s^Darwini sm—a course that had been both pleasant 

 and profitable. We have but three chapters left. Saturday night we 

 resume our readings of Shakespeare , which will gifce me a standing en- 

 gagement every Saturday evening. Every second Monday of the month 

 has been occupied with meetings of the literary Club. Every third 

 Monday with meetings of the Teacher's Association^. S. ) . Every second 

 Tuesday with meeting of the Monthly Musical Club. Every first Monday 

 with me et ing s of the chur c h se s s i on . Ev e ry Mond ay aft erno on w it h 

 meetings of the faculty. I have my mornings, bar ring numerous inter- 

 ruptions due to home and college work ,f or working at the mosses and 

 unless I devote the time sacredly to them I get nothing at all accomp- 

 lished. My afternoons until 4 are taken up with class work (12 — 1 & 

 2—4) . In the good weather I gave from 4 to dark to tennis for ex- 

 ercise , and since that /pas been impossible I have put it in generally 

 in study. Nov/ in addition to this I have been giving from 2 to 3 days 

 each month to work on the Gazette. Par I icularly since the fist of 

 November I have put in all the spare evenings in preparing the index. 

 Well am I a "busy B. u ? I try not to keep myself in a stew about what 

 I have to do ,and I think I manage to get through it only by keeping 

 steadily at it, with almost no deviation from a beaten track. Perhaps 

 this outline of my work will give you as good an idea as anything of 

 what I have been doing*. -SkW^ J" tirr&Z& Ljc-c^ £d^A ~ «//~c>
