Tuesday, May 13, 1919

Bright Warm day.  To college 8:30 to 2:30 P.M.  Played tennis with H.H. and Leslie Jones.  Campus meeting at 7:30 P.M.  Everly spoke on submarine warfare.  To bed 10:30 P.M.

**********
I'm assuming the campus meeting was a college-wide assembly for the purpose of listening to a talk by a Mr. or Ms. Everly (no doubt the former) on the topic of submarine warfare.  I wasn't able to determine who Everly was; I can only believe he was a (male) faculty member.  The speech was probably intended to be historical, as at this point in the war, submarine warfare was finished, according to the lengthy Wikipedia article, "U-Boat Campaign (World War I)."

I wonder how many college students of today would attend a lecture on that subject?
