Very sleepy this morning when I rolled out at . Late hours
surely do tell on one. Well, I studied some and was much interested in the chapter on the Moon & the Sun &
their eclipses. Went in town and secured a job for Saturdays at the little
haberdashery at the North Station.

job through Mr. Wheeler of Cleveland & Cheever

Classes reopened for last few weeks of the first term. I feared that the professors would
call for the which I missed the week of 12/18/. They did not. Car service has not improved by the vacation we had. I lost my
mocha gloves on the car at Park St. Did some writing at the
Globe.

Thursday Jan 4
Was up early this morning, but not early enough to get in to the Record in
time to get out to the college, so I went straight out to classes.
Everything sailed along smoothly until Fr. Corrigan pulled a little
test in the class.
Had a little run in with Fred Foley over the work. I fear that there is going to be a terrible crash
at the Mid Year's marks.
Big preparations for a reception at the college to-night. I received
advance news that the Rector was going to be presented with $2,500.
Had a long talk with Mr. Frish of Read's.
Wrote a story for the Globe with reference to the opening of the new
faculty building.
