November 22, 1912 - Friday

22 - We had a Harvard professor here to-day who gave us a lecture on the merits of his college. He fully persuaded me, and I shall give Harvard the preference if I ever go to college. He had the queerest way of curving his knees in, when he talked, and he was bald except for a solitary little horn of brown hair. Also, what he lacked in chin, he more than made up in nose. However, he was a true genius. He found several things to say in favor of Harvard. We had an algebra test to-day. I have probably got it all wrong as I don't know how to reduce the examples to lowest terms.
