1884 1884, 1889 1896 IQOI Nov. 1 1. It keeps me busy chalking up new buildings for that Dickinson College. Jake Tome gave them a lot of money some time ago, to put up a new one for scientific purposes. They are going to put his nan1e over the door of it. july 7. Co-eds are to be received at Dickinson. I'1l bet you this is going to make trouble around there. I intend to bri11g it about in the course of years, that this 'thing will be common 5 but now it is new and like many new things it is raising a hul-a-ba-loof' ' Aug. 18. I had George Reed elected President of Dickinson. I am interested in that place and I believe this young man, wl1o has stirred things up so in Brooklyn, will be just the one to put the college on a good basis? 1 Dec. 13. I examined that Denny Memorial building to-day. It's a great thing. Those two literary socie-- ties which I have kept a-going for more than a hundred years are each to have a fine hall on thethird Hoorf' Sept. 12. Dickinson opened up for the year to-day. I went around there and saw the new Prep. school, which is just being finished inside. I knew that man Reed would be the right one to set the thing running, when I sent l1i1n there were only six buildings in the institution and now there are a dozen, mighty good ones, too, some of 'en1.

1804, July 17. Charlie Nisbet has worked hard on that College. He is sixty-seven years old now. Guess I'll call him to his long home to-morrow. 1805, Sept. 15. To-clay I attended the dedication 'exercises of that 11ew building of Dickinson College. It is a large affair of stone. with walls about two feet thick. It is part of 1ny work to 1'61ll0V6 all such things by gradual decay, but it 'looks as if it would take a long time to do so in this case. . ISOS, Sept. 7. I made an innovation at Dickinson College to-day. I put i11 a Sophomore class. Heretofore there have been but three classes. It's risky business, for S0pl101llOl'ES are always making trouble, but then they will help to make things lively. N D' i l., icX,l g Sis X 1833, June 30.

It is a pity they didn't get the Government architect to plan the job, as they did with XVest College. Oct. 7. The old Methodist Chapel at Carlisle has been bought by the College. They are going to use it as a Prep. School. 23
