Here are some notes for the record, before I forget.
Last Tues., Oct. 10, Alice & I drove to Nevada (200 m) and I read lyrics to the student body of Cottey College in convocation from 1:30 to nearly 3:00. The girls wouldn't let Gaki go. It was really a wow. They even applauded separate poems, and they made me come back four times. Some of the faculty were at the Junior College banquet in
22surge of affection, filling the auditorium. Surely that is the real achievement. It has happened a number of times this fall here in Columbia. It seems to be growing stronger, and it's a beautiful thing. It happened in Lincoln too.

E. spoke speak feel about my classes etc.
Lucile, I'm not boasting. This merely shows again that the something is still working.

I've thought of the years I rang the bell for the Neb. Normal College, and the schooling I had there. This is a most important period in my life, & the feel and the mood of it are most important to you as biographer. It would be easy for some (not for you, I know) to underestimate that unique old college as an educational institution. I've had opportunities for many years to know teachers, and I know that Conn, Pile, and Anna Burne-Bright were excellent teachers, especially Pile, who was a genius. As I look back, I'm amazed at their devotion to their tasks. I should have talked to you about this. Did I? Dear lady!
