All the new stiidents visited the President’s office and signed the by-laws of the college. After a cross old teacher told me what I might take and what I had to take, and a small, good-looking fellow copied down what the cross Prof, wrote on the slip, another man, whose hair was not parted but which had departed, told me how much money I had to turn over. 17. The first Chapel services were held this morning. Dr. Schell said that he was greatly felicitated because so many had signed the by-laws. Wonder what the by-laws have to do with running the college. The five new bachelor members of the faculty were introduced. The one by name of Johnson made the best bow. Perhaps it is because he is so long. 18. Everybody is getting settled. At a big Men’s “Mixer” held in the “Y” lobby each man had to give his name and occupation. Of course, I couldn’t go, but the Prof, who took my money at the office eats here at the Hall and he told me all about it. 19. Hurrah for football! Oh, you mud! Several of the football men were practicing this afternoon. We sat in the north windows of the Hall and watched them. Gee! but there’s one big, handsome fellow. I sure would like to meet him. 20. Football practice again today. The handsome fellow was out again tonight. Maybe I’ll get to meet him at the joint Y. M. and Y. W. reception tonight. Nothing doing. I heard this evening that his name is “Tommie,” but they say that he is afraid of the girls and wouldn’t come to the reception. 21. Sunday. Wrote a letter home to the folks and one to each of my seven chums. Gee! but I’m homesick. All the old girls had dates. Wish the new men would hurry up and get acquainted so I could have a date.

22. Hope we never have another day as long as yesterday. We cleaned our room today. Mr. Morrow, the man who runs the store just south of the Hall, sold completely out of mops and brooms. No wonder he makes a living. 23. The short German Professor led chapel service. He announced the first Y. W. Cabinet meeting to be held this afternoon. One of the girls told me after the meeting that the largest Wilson girl was determined to have a sleigh ride this year to be furnished by the Y. M. Cabinet. 24. Not many of the upper classmen were at chapel this morning. Rev. Ingham from the Methodist Church delivered the Matriculation address. Went to Prayer Meeting in the evening. 25. Sang 409 in chapel this morning and everybody smiled. Ordered a book this afternoon. They charge as much for books here as they do at home, but they cost “dad” still more. Watched football practice awhile but couldn’t get him to look up. My! but I’m homesick. 26. A fellow they call Harold smiled at Esther Benbow in chapel this morning. I wish somebody else would smile once. All the Prof.’s are cross too. 27. More than a week of school gone. Several of the girls went home this afternoon. Wish I could go too. Sure was exciting this afternoon. Our Freshman boys put it all over those big-headed Sophs in the Pushball Contest. My! but we girls did yell. Went to the Pastime with some other girls, but stayed so long that we had to run all the way home in order to reach the POSV r3f'lLV- Cj fXfEL. Hall before time for the last bell. Miss Rader told us very carefully in House meeting the significance of each ring. This sure has been some day. T«f 28. Went to Sunday School and Church this morning. Esther smiled at Harold in church. Wonder if she’ll have a date tonight. Wrote home again this afternoon.
