College Station, Texas. Dark days and often long rain Left Austin Thursday morning at 11° on the Interna- tional Great Northern R.R. for Valley Junction where I changed to go east to College Station which is 5 miles east of Bryan, a county seat. Got to College at 3:30 P.M. Here Professors Stance and Dean Burgess and met me and took me to the Hotel-Appfield. was interviewed by the Dean of the College of Science, and 4 P.M. called on the President Mr. Walton. At 8 P.M. gave the first of three lectures, but the lantern was so faint that most of my lecture was ineffective. Friday morning spoke for a half hour to Stance's 61 students, and then visited and interviewed the rest of the day. At 8 P.M. gave the second lecture and now the lantern worked well. Prof. Ball (History) is a collector of Congric invertebrates and more especially of Clams and in which he gets some help from Berg. Many of his specimens are fine. Then called on Prof. Francis (Vertebrate man) who has a remarkably good col- lection of Chirocrea and younger mammals from round about this part of Texas, Patroci-deans, Horses, camels and horses around. One fine horse skull, jaw and one leg for a spell. Saturday morning at 10 gave the final lecture to a jammed audience in the large lecture hall of the Physics building. Then visited around all day. The A. and M. College has 30,000 acres and 2400 students under Military Discipline -- a good method of training young men.
