June 28th. In the morning I went t
on my usual walk in the woods. In -
the afternoon our class and all of
the University were excused from re-
citation in order to listen to the Rev.
Mr. Kincaid who has been a mis-
sionary 12 years in Burma. The mis-
sionary mass meeting of the Baptist
Society was held in the Presbyterian
church. The building was crowded.

He gave a very interesting descrip-
tion of the Burman Empire-and an
account of its religion and religious
ceremonies. He urged very forcibly
and elegantly the Foreign Mission
cause.
Dull Day
July 1st. This forenoon I read over:
my chemistry lesson and so much of
soporifics had it that with my last
night's exposure it put me into a
sound sleep from which I did not
awaken at the ringing of the bell so I
missed recitation. A little after din-
ner when I had just commenced writ-
ing a composition I was surprised to
hear in the other end of the building
a confused and awful yelling as if of
a great company. I dropped my com-
position and ran to see what could
be the matter. When I got to the
recitation room I found all of the
students assembled-some yelling
with all their might and others con-
vulsed with laughter. I learned that
it was a lecture on Elocution by Dr.
Comstock of Philadelphia. He pro-
posed to give a number of lectures to
the students gratuitously provided
they would each buy one of his books
at one dollar each. It was highly
recommended by the "Profs" and
nearly all of the students entered in
to it. He gives two lectures a day, one
at 8, the other at 5 o'clock.
