Wednesday, February 6, 1924

Cool, overcast and damp. Mealy & slippery under foot. Arose 7:20 A.M. Down to breakfast. Studied. H.H. & I down street to get Birthday gift for mother. Chapel & class. Dinner. Worked 12-2. Class. A Recognition Service for Woodrow Wilson in our chapel. Very impressive. A great soul laid away at Washington. Donald Timmerman led service in behalf of Mt. Vernon League. Profs. Strickland-Butters-Lynnfield-Cell-Leslie-Work and Daniber assisted--Dietterick sang solo. Grant at Organ. To Old South Church to Y.M. Class. Supper meeting. Rev. Vaughn Dabney spoke. To bed 12 P.M.

**********
Dr. Vaughn Dabney was the pastor of the Second Congregational Church of Dorchester, Mass, from 1920 to 1930.

On this day, while Stanford was at Old South Church and other activities, Mary Leah was doing grading--for her practice teaching, no doubt--so she missed seeing Stanford. That evening, she writes him a letter, letting him know how she feels. I've posted that letter (and the one she writes on 8 Feb) in the Pages section, at Letters - February 6 & 8. No letter from Stanford survives from this time frame, though it's very likely that he did reply to her.
