Transcription Notes
Feeling rather seedy again, and temperature goes up ominously in the afternoon. However, nothing comes of it, and it soon goes down again to about a degree below normal, where it seems to like to sit more than anywhere else! Three students — the Hyltons & Moseley — come in in the afternoon & give me several songs. In the evening I address the Faculty, President Frost in the chair, and evidently interest them a good deal in my estimate of the ballads and of the mountain people. Professor Raine — hitherto rather snuffy — now adopts a most humble manner. I think they classed me before they knew me with Wyman, Brockway, McGill & that crowd!1 Find speaking rather tiring, but less so than I expected. Talked, sitting down, for the best part of an hour, ending up with songs.Location
