5.30 P.M.  Having enough time we hurried to the pond to see if
Sarracenia were still in bloom, then back again to the station.
At the station we were met by Dr. B.  He told us the strawberry
crop this year was a fine one and commanded good prices.
We were very much surprised when he stated that some of the
pickers picked 300 boxes a day; they are paid 1½¢ for every box.
The doctor introduced us to his friend Mr. [blank space] who was going to
Balto.  Before the train arrived, the doctor was obliged to leave
us, when he again surprised us by his remarkable display of
affection in kissing his friend good-bye.  The train was a little
late on acc't of the strawberry season, and we reached Balto.
about 7.40 P.M.

June 10, 1901.  Repeated trip of June 5, with Section C.  The weather
to-day was all that could be desired and all of us enjoyed the
trip.  Although this is but the 3rd day since the heavy rain of
Thursday & Friday, the roads are again very dusty making travel
along them most disagreeable.

June 12, 1901. A very hot and sultry day.  Only half of my class
risked taking the trip.  We met at Walbrook, took the tripper to
Windsor Heights, crossed the falls and went along the Dickeyville
