3776 At 9.15 I am off on the Southern Pacific, having lown over in can go. Will get to Houston at 8.30 tomorrow morning. Sunday enroute to Austin, Jan 3-1926. Got to Houston on time; the day is dark and all nature is quiet. Had breakfast at the station and at 9.15 A.M. I am off for Austin. Doctor Blesocrell formerly of Yale and of the Univ. of Texas is also on his way to Austin and we spend the six hours together talking about college things. He now teaches Spanish instead of German. The Univ. of Texas has 3000 students in Spanish. I have taken a room in the new The Austin Hotel and I am thinking of making this my home during the next ten weeks. Blesocrell said I would have no trouble in talking all sorts about evolution, only I should not turn down religion and speak against the little. He thinks I should give a lecture on the evolution of man.
