Pal Alto Thursday Feb 17.
Visited the Leland Stanford Junior Museum,
a little of everything and not much of anything other
than things immortalizing the Stanfords. The best are
the paintings, several my large ones I consider
American mountain landscapes -- Yosemite, Yem
River and Shasta. These are wonderful pieces
of realistic art.
Also looked on the Arnold Collection of
Geologic specimens of California. Often join
collection and not at all what could have be
fotten by a hand collector.
Spent the afternoon with Prof. Smith.
Had dinner in the evening at Mr. Robert
Anderson's house. He used to work in rock-
jewelry with Arnold. Has traveled all over the
world from at Co. Is now doing private
research work at the University. His father
was Professor of English at Leland Stanford
University, but is now retired.
Rained morning the day and night.
