way and has complete rest and absolute freedom from excitement, seeing no one to talk to during the day outside of myself, and doing very little if anything except leading what might be almost called a vegetable life, she will quite rapidly progress towards sleeping well and toward the disappearance of her nervousness.
Of course this is a very difficult programme to carry out, in the case of an ambitious woman, but she has learned in a wonderful way to control herself.
I have not yet recovered from the three great and overwhelming surprises (two of them at least) which I received at Hobart College. The first and most important of these was the receiving of the degree L.L.D. I had not the faintest suspicion that any such honor was to be awarded me until my name was called at the end of the list of those who were given degrees, and even after that it took me some time to realize that I was the man who was referred to. The surprise was indeed overwhelming, and I can assure you that I appreciate this great degree all the more that it comes from the college of which you were the President.
An equally great surprise was my election as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. I do not yet quite understand how I was elected to this Society, as I was not aware that I was eligible, not having been a graduate of a classical college or university.
The third surprise, and a most agreeable one, was that my address, even although it was more than an hour and a half
